When you let go of expectations from others, a lot happens. You are able to find who you truly are and are able to show that to the rest of the world.

1. You start to find your own joy.

You start to find things that make you happy. You let go of the need to find others happy and ignore your own. While it is genuine it put others happiness before your own, it is also important to take time for yourself. You are able to find what truly gives you joy in your life and not what others think should.

2. You do what you need to do.

You are able to find what you want to do with your life. You are able to see what you want and what you are made for. You set your own limits, and that limit should never stop growing.

3. You criticize yourself less.

You are able to look past the "flaws" that you see in yourself. You are able to see past what you think others think of you. You are able to become stronger in your confidence and let yourself shine through more often.

4. You see your accomplishments.

Instead of looking at your work and wondering what others will see, you look at it proudly. Proud that you put all your effort into it and that it is amazing. And that if others don't think the same, you don't let it get you down. You continue with this through your day to day life and stop worrying about what others think of your work.

5. You become more content with your life.

You are happier in your day to day life. Others will say you can't measure happiness, but you are able to feel it in yourself. You know deep down that you are better off now than you were before.

Others expectations for you are nothing compared to who you truly are. You are a force to be reckoned with and there is no reason why you should hide behind someone else's expectations for your life. It's time to start looking past others expectations for you and start looking at what you want for yourself.
