Guard your expectations

Good afternoon guys, how are you doing today? I trust you're having a great Sunday. I hope you worshipped God with other people in the church. The first week in this year has begun today and it's time to set out to achieving all goals we set for ourself this year. I wish you a very productive week ahead.

Let's quickly run through yesterday's article before moving to today's article.

I wrote on the importance of unity yesterday. Unity is essential in life. Because in a society, unity is very essential. If you lived alone, there won't be need for unity because you're the only one to decide and execute your decisions. But as long as it exceeds one person in relation to a task or work, unity is needed as long as success is in view.

Unity can't be swept aside because it is even needed in the family. If a family lacks unity, the family will suffer great disaster because they can all be living together, but they'll be far apart from themselves emotionally. It can even lead to situations where one person will start suspecting another. This is because of the disunity in that family.

If nothing is done to ensure unity in a family, the family will suffer great troubles. It'll be hard for people to believe that they're family members.

Unity can't be found in a place where there's selfishness. When two selfish people come together to do something. They'll be thinking and fighting for what they'll gain instead of looking for how there will be mutual gain between two of them.

It takes an emotionally mature peron to bring about unity in a place. An angry man can never lead people into unity because before he knows it, he'll flare up and make people tired therefore causing disunity.

It's not easy to lead humans because every human believes they're right even in times where they're wrong. Therefore it takes a person that is emotionally intelligent and mature to lead people and cause unity.

The summary of everything can be seen in this popular adage. United we stand, divided we fall. Which remains one of the statement that transcends time.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

Today I'll be writing on guarding your expectations and who you hope on.

Man is being with flaws, therefore if you think you've found a perfect person. I put it to you that you're living in Dreamland. No man is perfect. Anybody can disappoint you. You don't need to be preached to about this. You just need a little experience with man, then you'll know that man can disappoint you.

The only person that cannot disappoint you is God and that's why you're advised to trust in God and lean not on your understanding. Anyone that leans on his understanding or depends on another person is bound to experience heartbreak.

No one has the capacity of fulfilling every promises made except God. Then why do people keep getting pained because of a disappointment from someone. It is because they've not learnt to guard their expectations.

It is understandable that you expect someone to do something but to be on a safe side, you should also register in your mind that the same person cn disappoint you, if not you'll end up getting pained and heartbroken.

Guard how much you expect from people. They're not God and surely has the ability to fail you. Protect your heart from being pained.

When people expect too much from someone and later end up being disappointed, they become harsh and mean to everyone afterwards. This is a bad one to be honest. 8f you had known already that you can be disappointed, you won't expect too much. And you won't get back at every other person because someone disappointed you.

The best thing to do is to put all of your hope in God. He's the only one that can't fail.

Thanks for reading through. Happy Sunday.
