Reposting this essential reminder about #expectation from the awesome @jasonwrobel along with his original post for no other reason than that I doubt it could be said much better than this!!! “ See, the thing is, when you fight against reality… reality always wins. It’s undefeated. Your incessant expectations and constant demands that life ought to be a particular way cause you immense amounts of suffering. Life owes you nothing and expectations are illusions. Staying present and responding (not reacting) to what is… are powerful practices to keep you connected and clear in the moment. ” #princeea #lifehacks #respondingnotreacting #beinthemoment #embracethenow

Stop comparing your life to everyone around you– your friend with the nice car or your other friend with the nice house.  Start comparing your life to Jesus and MLK.  Or someone equally cool who understood that the path to Kingdom is through justice, not accumulating crap that only benefits you and your hubby or dog or whatever.

Can we start living in a world based in love and community already?  This capitalism stuff sucks.
