Facing Life When Expectations Don't Match Reality

When our expectations do not match reality, that's when we feel that maybe we have made 2 mistakes, namely hoping that is too impossible and or placing hope on those who are unable to make it happen. This second mistake is one of the main causes of the loss of hope, entrusting life to humans.

There are some simple tips and ways that can make us face the realities of life when expectations don't match reality.

Looking for Words of Wisdom about Reality

Example : “Not all desired to be achieved, but with confedence and hard work everything will change for the better.” -ways.

The simplest and most popular way is done by someone who has lost hope is to find answers to life through wise words that are widely scattered on social media. At least this simple way can be a temporary calm to face the harsh reality of life because it is far from desires.

Share a story

There are times when someone who has lost hope always wants to express his feelings. Although not all, there are also those who do not want to reveal it and prefer to bury it in their hearts and minds.

In fact, sharing it with the world in a positive way will make the burden of life feel lighter. Sharing stories about the tough problems that are going on in life can make life more positive. Sharing feelings does not mean doing it by complaining.

The way to share stories when expectations don't match reality is to avoid complaining as much as possible, which will actually create a negative impression on listeners. Therefore, when expectations do not match your wishes, don't be in a hurry to take action. Don't talk about how bad and how sad your life was at that time because it will not improve the situation and feelings.

Try to take and look at unfulfilled hopes from a different perspective so that it can be a lesson and wisdom not only for those of you who experience it but also for those who hear your story, not your complaints.

Look for New Dreams

It should only be done when the hope for a dream that is not achieved is truly irreparable (meaning the expectation of something that does not happen a second time, such as a test exam and others where a second chance is not repeated).

A new dream does not mean not to stop trying for a dream that is not achieved, but it is also useful to restore lost hope. A new dream can be a distraction so that you can focus on problems due to unfulfilled desires that can quickly leave your life.

One thing is for sure, never rely on yourself especially others because it is too heavy. Rely on Him who gives you hope and confidence. Keep the spirit and never lose hope.

Lighting a Candle

There's no need to rush to turn things around. With just a few steps, the unattainable hope can slowly recover. The trick is quite easy, light a candle in the middle of the dark night.

When the candle is lit in the dark then draw a lesson that the slightest light can overcome the terrible darkness. Any big problem that threatens hope can be overcome with faith and unyielding determination.

Stop Torturing Yourself

Don't torture yourself by being silent. Unrealistic expectations don't go away easily even if time passes. We must change it all without waiting for time to change the reality of life that is being experienced.

Reality does not match expectations is something that will be experienced by everyone who wants to try. Those who have dreams will surely experience things where wishes don't match reality, And those who keep dreaming without fear will never lose hope because they believe that hope does exist even when dark times are coming.

Expectations that don't match reality are common. Which is unusual when you lose hope when there is always hope.

Keep Spirit and Don't Give Up !!!
