great expectations...

so i'm having some difficulty right now with my expectations of others (hence the title, and also one of my favourite books!)...and by difficulty i mean that they don't do what i expect (herein lies perhaps the trick to solving this) and i end up feeling disappointed and hurt...

and this isn't new - i have ALWAYS had an issue with my expectations of others and as i sat down to start writing this i realised that perhaps there is a link between the sarah of old (and by her i mean the one who didn't have a voice and wasn't good at asserting herself or stating her needs) and the frustration of feeling let down...

possibly has something to do with attachment too - namely my attachment to the outcome i am expecting! my meditation teacher may be able to help me with some techniques on this...

mmm food for thought...
