In this episode, I dive into the concept of living with 100% commitment and no expectations. I start by sharing a question that was posed to me about the possibility and benefits of living this way. Initially, I believed that expectations were a positive thing, even drafting my definition of faith as a confident expectation. However, I soon realized through painful experiences that expectations can lead to disappointment and a negative self-perception. I discuss the importance of releasing expectations and acknowledge that it can be challenging at first, but ultimately liberating. Unmet expectations often result in feelings of inadequacy and failure. I emphasize that prayers may not always be answered as we envision, success may not come on our expected timeline or in the way we anticipate, and people may not show up in the manner we hoped for. By detaching ourselves from expectations, we spare ourselves unnecessary suffering and entitlement. Living without expectations requires trust and surrendering to a higher power. It enables us to focus on the journey of self-improvement and personal growth, rather than solely fixating on the end result. This mindset ultimately leads to joy, peace, and a deep sense of self-belief. I define joy as the process of becoming a better version of ourselves. Throughout the episode, I invite my audience to embrace this concept of living with 100% commitment and no expectations in various aspects of their lives, such as motherhood, profession, relationships, and personal well-being. I encourage them to trust and surrender, emphasizing that eliminating expectations paves the way for fulfillment and a stronger faith. Before concluding, I express my gratitude to the listeners for their support and invite them to continue engaging with my podcast by subscribing to my newsletter. Join me in this meaningful journey of living with 100% commitment and no expectations.
