Belief, Opinion, Pride & Expectation. Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing the impact of our beliefs, opinions, pride and expectations on us. We cannot predict the future, but we can choose our paths. What’s the big deal with people expecting you to do what everyone else does? Mathew verses 7-14 says ‘that there are two paths. One more travelled and one less travelled.’ You think people would be excited for you to do something different.
Belief, Opinion, Pride & Expectation
Belief
So you’re a bum when you go your own way, but suddenly you’re successful when you make something of yourself. It’s the dollar that talks soo loudly these days. It’s distracting. Like you’re trying to keep things low profile, but it’s turning up the volume with “Black or White” on. Your parents want you to be quiet. And It’s not like the knocking on the door stops either; With increased success comes increased responsibility. We’re no longer running around the Fort Saskatchewan Mall with ripped Ninja Turtle sweatpants.
By that, I mean kids. – and that’s not a cheap stab at Michael. We all always have something to say about everything.
Opinion
Why is it that some people are more stuck on theirs than others? Why do they feel like they have to push it on you?
You’ve got life no further figured out than anyone else; However, when most of us look at our lives, we think that we’ve got it all figured out. We all believe we will cross the finish line in the first place. Amazing how most of us aren’t even in the driver’s seat. Nobody likes different until different becomes good. What about being happy for others where they are at? Money even talks at a time like this. Who said the money couldn’t buy happiness? Tell that to someone hungry. Does happiness have a full stomach?
Riches. It’s Human Nature. We exploit everything until we either fall or realise it doesn’t matter how much we have. It will never be enough.
Pride
Sadly, that will keep many of us going even after we come to that understanding. Do you remember when you looked in the mirror and saw yourself? I was told early in grade school that people are a reflection of each other.
Expectation
Is that why our minds are full of what other people want from us? Why do we constantly measure ourselves against the success and failures of others? What do you think we would look like if we were alone? Would Hair Gel have been invented? What about Nail Polish? Would people know who Louis Vuitton is? What about Versace? I doubt it, and I think Louis and Gianni would have to find new jobs.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Talk soon

A few years ago I was so concerned about what others thought of me that I was depleting my own resources. Once I stepped into my light my confidence grow and with each passing day, I’m evolving into the best version of myself. Love this post!

People don’t often realize the power of their thoughts, opinions, and expectations. We must learn to harness that power and use it to achieve what we want.
Amy
These are all such interesting concepts and definitely are big drivers behind our behaviour!
