For our fifteenth World Speakers’ Coalition Kuala Lumpur meeting yesterday, we returned to one of our favorite haunts, i.e., Decanter at Seksyen 17, Petaling Jaya.
We had 14 participants altogether, making it our biggest meeting todate – of that number, 6 were guests. And three had thereafter opted to sign up as members.
Alan Chew was again our host and he decided on the theme “Expectation Kills Happiness”. And it was good to be able to listen to fourteen different perspectives!
Even so, there is unanimous agreement that expectations can be an infuriating thing. They can lead you to believe that the world will be a certain way, that things will turn out the way you want them to, and that people will do what you want them to do. But when your expectations are not met, it can lead to immense frustration.
It means your mood suffers and your emotions get wrecked. And it will surely affect your well-being, whether you care to admit it or not. After all, the decision(s) you make when frustrated will be very different to the decision(s) you make when you are feeling positive and happy.
Surely, you understand that your life is the sum of the decisions you make, so do consider making decisions from a happy place.
Therefore, it’s best to just be who you truly are and expect nothing but wonderful things out of life’s everyday moments. At least, that is what I have learned.
