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.
