Have you ever realized that the expectations placed on you are more than you can or are willing to cope with? This could be in your personal life or your work life. Some times you wonder if it’s worth it carrying these responsibilities. What makes you decide that these major expectations placed on you are worth carrying? I wonder sometimes if you should even accept them or just let them fall especially if you know they are not yours to take up at all. They might not be yours but the expectation is that you will take care of the issues whether you want to or not.
Growing up you realize that what is expected of you can be so much that you just want to rebel. It continues throughout life. Some persons actually do rebel and decide that what you expect of them and what they want to do are so different. It’s then said these persons are just not living up to what is expected of them as responsible members of society. Should we always live up to the expectations placed on us or just be ourselves especially when we are not creating waves but ignoring what is thrust on us?
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” This term kept coming up in my head and I said it not only those that wear the crown but regular persons like us that feel it’s too much sometimes to carry the responsibilities that are given to us. Are we really given the responsibilities or do we over time take them on ourselves? What happens when we decide we don’t want them and push back? Are you just not living up to your expectations or are you behaving “badly”? Who determines what you should do with your life? Do you get the chance and the choice or do you have to do what is expected of you?
Do you think you are happy or unhappy living up to the expectations placed on you? I think it’s dependent on the person and the kind of expectations that are placed on us or what we take unto ourselves. If you have no issues living up to that level of responsibility I do believe you would be happy. Then again maybe I’m wrong. What do you think?
