Release Others From Your Financial Problems, Serenity is Key

We have big plans and goals. We feel ready to move forward, but we're dependent on others.
"If so-and-so would do such and such at this time, I'd be able to take on some extra work."
We expect others to operate in our framework, on our timelines. We expect them to understand our needs.
We may even expect them to read our minds!

The level of our expectations is directly related to our level of serenity.
The more we expect of others, the more disappointed we can get.
This is not to say that we forget our dreams. We still think as big as we'd like,
and we still seek support from others. We just learn that we can't connect our expectations or our
thinking with someone else's behavior without running the risk of being disappointed.
We accept that we cannot change another. We accept reality with grace and move forward from there.

Today release others from your expectations.
In doing so, you gain serenity.
