The Perfect Quietness of Heart

Expecting nothing changes everything.

It creates contentment, since you’re grateful for what you
have. It builds humility, since you’re surrendering control. It invites calmness,
since you’re not meeting some standard. It allows acceptance, since you’re saying
yes to what is.

Expecting nothing changes everything.

It triggers presence, since you’re not obsessing about the
future. It achieves freedom, since you’re liberated from the past. It summons
wonder, since you’re open to whatever happens. And it enables stability, since you’re
never knocked off center.

That’s what happens when we shake off the shackles of
expectation.

                                                 

We experience the perfect quietness of heart.
