expectations

more of millie's answer to the question about relationships and change.

"you are the only one who can meet your needs.  if someone else appears to be meeting your needs, it is because your needs intersect.


love without expectation.  walk your path in love and be confident that you can meet your own needs.


expecting others to do a certain thing, act a certain way, be or think a certain way is a pathway to pain.  expectations are of the dark, not of the light.  


know that each interaction with another is an expression of a gift, an offer of love.  let that be your river, a river of gifts and love.  float and be free.


when you run into an expectation that someone has thrown in your path, give what you are willing, love if you are able, float through or fly over the expectation as if it isn't really there, because it isn't.


there is no power in the expectations of others apart from what you give them."

thank you, millie.
