Today we’re talking about Expectations VS Reality. How many of us have these preconceived notions about life? As children we have a wide expanse of dreams regarding how we imagine life to be when we grow up. Dreams of meeting our perfect spouse, having a family, excelling in our careers, traveling the world, doing all the things we see in the movies. But what happens when that picture perfect scene is shattered by war, trauma, infidelity, and heartache...The reality is WAR changes a person. TRAUMA changes a person. LIFE changes a person. How does one work to reconcile between our preconceived expectations & our present realities? I’ve heard it discussed like this... Unmet expectations are premeditated resentments. All information is based on real life experiences. We are speaking from a place of love and nothing we say should ever be in place of professional counseling or reaching out to your doctor.
