We usually see the world in pure black or white, means we expect “certainty” in everything.
Whatever our self talks are, there is hidden “certainty” in them. Some examples:
– If I will do this, that would certainly happen.
– I am loving the other person so much, he/she will certainly equally love me.
– I am investing this amount every month, I will certainly get this much return by end of these many years.
– I am giving my kids everything, they will certainly listen to me.
– I am doing my best in my company, I would certainly get a hike or promotion or appreciation.
– I am helping other people, they would certainly help me when in need.
– I am giving so much in this relationship, the other person should certainly contribute equally.
We are absolute certain about things to go in a particular direction and when it doesn’t go that way, we get immensely disappointed.
There is no certainty in this world with regards to people or events: No absolute black and white. It’s always Grey!!
There is a probability of something happening more in your favour or against you, means sometimes more white or more black, accordingly the shades of Grey could be different. Try to identify those shades of grey and set your expectations accordingly, you won’t be disappointed.
So whenever you feel something has not happened according to the plan/expectations, remember it’s because Only Grey Matters!!
Start looking forward to more Greys!! 😊
Happy Grey Day!! 😊😊
