Even though I agree that the perfect situation would be for us to let go and allow ourselves to be some kind of "tool" the universe (or God, whichever you prefer) uses to make this world a better place, I also understand that as humans we are not perfect and have very immature wants and needs. Right or wrong that's the way we are. So, the part that I don't understand is how can you completely let go and live in the flow of the universe if you have desires and dreams? Desires and dreams ARE expectations! You expect to achieve it, that itself already ruins what you're trying to do. If you expect to get something, you are not completely allowing yourself to go with the flow, and as long as you have desires, there will be the fear that you might not get it. I think what you are trying to do is to join an ancient concept of letting go present in many old religions and philosophies with the new age BS of the secret and how you can get everything you want (usually material goods) if you let the universe do the job. Yes, you can do that, you can get the money, the big house, the nice car using the power of the universe, but no, you won’t be living with no expectations, you won’t be free of fear. The only way of really living with no expectations is by not having any dreams. By not trying to please your ego with “stuff” that you can achieve and get in life you can be actually free. When I think about it I picture people like Madre Teresa and Gandhi, people that did what had to be done, period. No desires, nothing for themselves, they just worked as a human tool the universe used to make the world better. I think if you really want to be free and truly happy that’s the way to go. As long as you have dreams, you’re gonna keep expectations and you’re gonna sell yourself for whatever promises you to bring these desires closer to you.

It is living inthis fear of failure which comes from having an expectation. All mty life I have worked, not necessarily satisfactorily, but nevertheless been in chage of my own destiny by having money. Where I am at present would for many be an envyable position because I don't work but live in the French countryside within sight of the Pyrenees. I am poor in money but rich in other aspects, one of which is time and a certain amount of choice in how I spend it. for me I am treading water and if I had a choice I would be in London doing my masters in psychotherapy and learning to be a practicing counsellor that is my ultimate dream which I have tried to manifest and cannot see how to do it ?

I have tried several times to live without expectations but i am unable to absorb it into my psyche. suddenly i expect certain actions from my husband and get disappointed all over again. my opinion is that its difficult to live without expectations. can you suggest ways to make it a way of life? regards narmada dear author,
