Empty Expectations

Expectations

Projections into the future

Living where you're not

Hopes and dreams

Built on air

Collapse

In reality

Expectations

Emotions attached

To illusions

Self created

Expectations

False belief  

That you can know

Or control

The future

Can create or foresee
What “should be”

When dreams die

When expectations

Are not realized

Where are you?

You are always

Only one place:

The present

You always know

Only one time:

Now

Breathe in now

Feel the earth beneath you . . . now

Know you have all you need

For right now

Every moment

Every day

You will have what you need

Your future is revealed

One day at a time

No other way

Results of placing expectations on others; on how the future will be . . . 
resentment, hurt, disappointment, anger, hopelessness . . . 
Expect yourself to do the best you know how right now.  
Trust others to do the same.
There's no other time within which we can live.
It is always now.

Let go of yesterday.
Let go of tomorrow.
Smile
All is well at this moment.
