How can I love and not expect anything from anyone?
Here are little ways to love without expectation.

- Accept that person just as they are.
- Smile, laugh and spend more time with that person, exploring new and challenging activities together.
Should I have low expectations?
Keeping expectations low may be the key to happiness, scientists have found. Researchers at University College London created a formula to predict happiness levels. They discovered that feeling happy depends not on how well things are going overall, but whether they are going better than might be expected.
What happens when you stop expecting people to be a certain way?
When you stop expecting people to be a certain way, you can begin to appreciate THEM. Pay close attention, and respect people for who they are and not for who you want them to be. We don’t know most people half as well as we believe we do; and truly knowing someone is a big part of what makes them wonderful.
Are You tempering your expectations of other people?
This is especially true when it comes to our relationships and interactions with others. Tempering your expectations of other people will greatly reduce unnecessary frustration and suffering, in both your life and theirs, and help you refocus on the things that truly matter. Which means it’s time to… 1. Stop expecting them to agree with you.
Do you live up to the expectations of others?
Don’t let the opinions of others make you forget that. You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others, nor should you feel that others are here to live up to yours. In fact, the more you approve of your own decisions in life, the less approval you need from everyone else.
How do you stop expecting someone to change over time?
Stop expecting them to suddenly change. If there’s a specific behavior someone you care about has that you’re hoping disappears over time, it probably won’t. If you really need them to change something, be honest and put all the cards on the table so this person knows how you feel and what you need them to do.
