Expectations

"Expectations are not a part of love. When you truly love, you are never disappointed in another person. You know each choice they make is part of their spiritual development." ~Anael~

 Always love yourself first. When you do this, outside relationships become an enhancement, building on the love and self-respect that is already there. 

Instead of looking for a missing part of you in another, find it within yourself. 

Then you have no need to have high expectations of others that will inevitably disappoint. 

As a "whole" person, people will be attracted to your light who will treat you with kindness and love. You will find yourself gaining more relationships than you will lose, and those relationships will be for your highest good.
