Don't let your expectation of life, or expectation of whatever it is, on a day-to-day basis, be the death of your desire and the death of you wanting to be better and wanting to be happier, because it can get the best of you.
Imagine shaping an entire identity around an idea of someone you've never met. In this episode of 'Way To Feel', Bran FS dives deep into the tricky world of expectations and how they can derail our desires. As a transracial adoptee, Bran created vivid images of his birth mom and biological family, only to find these expectations clashing with reality.
This led to a series of false narratives that were hard to live up to, leaving him feeling disconnected and frustrated. Bran opens up about his journey of learning to let go of these unrealistic expectations. He shares how recovery has been a gift, allowing him to see his failures not as setbacks but as stepping stones for growth.
His candid reflections offer valuable lessons for anyone grappling with high expectations, whether it's about family, personal goals, or life in general. Through his story, Bran emphasizes the importance of staying grounded in reality and being kind to oneself. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how letting go of lofty expectations can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. Tune in to hear Bran's insights and find out how you can avoid the pitfalls of unrealistic expectations.
