or prehaps they only fail to meet our expectations...sometimes expectations that they themsleves are not even aware of.

*runs off into a corner to think about failure*

P.S.

The biggest cause of problems (anger) in familes and marriages is unmet and unrealstic expectations. Just something to think about...

And of course it's always easier to blame God and others, cause I know I don;t have any problems. It has to be the other person

Excellent post. It may seem negative but it's true. We really don't have the right to EXPECT anything of anyone except ourself. Expecting sets us up for disappointment, resentment and other negative feelings. Expecting nothing gives us the gift of receiving. Took me a long time to learn this. You also hit on a very important concept. Unless we tell people what we expect of/from them NOT BEING GOD, they haven't a clue what do expect of them. Even after telling them we can't expect them to always come through. Most people do the best they can.

thanks fellas. still learning myself. [; sometimes i expect others to read my mond or read between lines that arent there[metaphor for expectations unmet ]. i mean read my mind earlier. sorry for typo.
