Life Expectations

Someone once told me that I expect more out of life than life has to offer. I had to think about that comment for months on end to figure out if it really applied to me or not. I think for someone who is surface level with life, interactions, and religious views, can easily feel that way. However, for people on a deeper search in life, your experiences will differ. You can get as much out of life as you search for, and put in. It takes a lot of soul searching to figure out your true self. Once you have an understanding of YOU, you can choose what to discover, and what may not even matter to you. Your identity that was given to you was given to you for a purpose; Use your gifts and conquer the world, influence peoples lives, grow as a person. So, was his comment about me valid? I would say not. You can never expect too much if you are searching for a meaningful journey. Life has more to offer us than I realize sometimes. I can easily get caught up in my struggles and begin feeling as if I have no purpose, or I am experiencing more suffering than joy. Each stage of life will hold it's own hardships and blessings. Part of the journey is to find them! Don't choose to be surface level, dig deep and admire the life you live and LOVE.
