My Requirements

Morning Mantra: “Expectations are just disappointments waiting to happen. Requirements are boundaries waiting to be met.”I'm at a point in my life where I no longer have expectations, I have requirements.  Because I have found that if I expect someone to behave in a certain way, I am constantly disappointed.  So my requirements help me set boundaries that protect my peace.Expectations are kind of like pointing a finger at someone too.  I cannot control their behavior (nor do I want to), I can only control my own behavior.  So I try to meet them where they are, and respond according to my requirements.I require that you are respectful in what you say to me and how you act towards me.I require you to match my efforts in our relationship.I require that you keep your word.I require that you communicate in a kind and loving way.I require that you are honest and trustworthy.I require that you honor the space in my heart that I hold for you with your loyalty.These are not my expectations; they are my requirements.#BeWillingToRequire #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique
