One example of my weird thought but a valid one for me!
I always thought I should get this, I should get that and I used to yearn for the same. When these expectations where not met, I used to feel real bad and ask myself "why this is happening to me?" and all such silly questions (but valid and really deep at that point of time).
Then, suddenly some thoughts made me think that there are other people too who might be thinking like me so why dont I do for others which is in my control, at least let them feel good and nice, instead of just expecting from others. Slowly started doing things for which I craved for myself to others and the amount of satisfaction I derive from that is uncomparable and I feel soooo good. I really cannot express how different and nice I feel.
This doesnot mean I have no expectations, probably my expectations have changed ;-)

It is human nature to yearn for things but the mistake we make is do we yearn for the right things and when yes do we earn(work hard) to acquire it.
Without expectations there is no life, but the sensible ones r those who know all expectations cannot be met, and they accept certain expectations failing..
As they say one should feel blessed looking at people less fortunate than us...remembered an old school line "I cried i had no shoes until i saw a man with no legs"
Makes sense - when u start doing things for others, but then also abide by ur wonderful statement line "no need to offer a shoulder to someone..who does not care for it".
Life's also about sharing and caring but then for people who deserve or better need it....
Cheers, enjoy, God bless.... :)
I read somewhere-:
"When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,
just sit tight and be happy, because God has thought
of something better to give you."
