Did you ever encounter a situation when the reality of one of your strengths turning into your weakness, hit you?
That said, even the reverse holds true in some cases - that of one of your weakness turning to a strength.
Things, people or even relationships that you always pride are your very core strength could potentially turn into the dreaded noose around your neck. If we stepped back and thought about it - what is it that turns them from one to the other, the answer is fairly simple. Expectations!
The minute this element enters any effort, process or a relationship, the end or failure of the same, begins to appear on the horizon. But, is it possible for us humans to alleviate much less remove ourselves from this overriding factor? It is definitely easier said than done. This very factor may also present itself as a motivator, based on previous history of success, in some cases.
Think about it - but is Freedom - freedom in all our interactions, or relations, in all that we say or do- really the opposite of Expectations of all sorts?. Maybe in some vague sense, Yes. But, Freedom, comes with it's own baggage - so the Mantra that works here maybe Moderation - moderation of even the best things in Life!
To quote from Jiddu Krishnamurthy's writings:
Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not a choice. It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.
