Lifestyle

Lately, I’ve embraced a new habit—not expecting anything from others. At first, it was just a way to protect my peace, but recently, I realized it's much more than that.

I attended a function where many guests were visibly disappointed, complaining about the service and the arrangements. They had come in with expectations of a grand celebration, and when it didn’t match their imagination, it ruined their mood.

Meanwhile, I was just… content. I had come with no expectations, and that allowed me to genuinely enjoy the moment. I found happiness in the simple things—the company, the ambience, the effort someone had made to host us.

That day, something clicked. Not expecting doesn’t mean not caring; it means freeing myself from the emotional rollercoaster of unmet hopes. It’s incredibly liberating.

I was at peace, while others were restless. This shift in mindset is bringing me more happiness than I ever thought possible.
