Don't expect the best

Throughout life we learn that have expectations don't lead us to the best result. That life always presents us with something different, sometimes even better. That if we don't create expectations, we will enjoy each experience in a much better way. A lot of people teach us that we should expect the best without expecting anything in concrete.

But could we expect the best without having an image in our mind? And in the case we don't have it, if we get the best, will we look to it as really the best?

It makes sense that people who care about us just recommend us "expect the best," since they want to protect us and they want the best for us. They don't know what is the best for us, so they just pray for the best.

Only expect the best is incompatible with our need of move on and of fighting for something. Expect only the best is a passive hope.

On the other hand, if we expect something concrete, paying attention to all the colors and details of our dream, we will go on life enjoying the journey and don't complaining about our efforts.

You cannot expect a person to escape from a dog attack because you said, "there's a dog ", just like she would do if she really could see the animal. Just like an athlete never expect the best, but the victory. Without that thought, even if it seems too illusory, he will never win. To expect the best is to stay on land when we can fly.

It's more risky to expect something concrete, but if life is not made ​​of risks, is it really life? Expect something in particular, vehemently, every day, is to fight for make it happen, as the author of "The Secret" advises.

And if what we are expecting won't come true, at least we can have the feeling that we knew what we wanted and we fought for it. Besides, only imagine something makes us smile and it's also good for our nervous system, they say. According to some scientists, being with our mind on the moon prepares us to find creativity solutions in crisis.

So, we can say that a missed flight is not a defeat, but a learning process and that only the one who never learned how to stand up can really fall. In fact, the more time we fall, the more we know about our strength to start again.
