    Using External vs. Internal Expectations
     to Evaluate Yourself

Several factors like control and independence govern an individual’s personality,
relationships, and determine how successful he is in life. There are people who are very
dependent on others’ approval for their actions. This dependence leads to low self-
esteem, depression and failure in relationships, in an attempt to meet others’
expectations. These people give more importance to others than to their own power of
reasoning. If one feels burdened by the need to do good for others, or has to take their
permission before doing any task then these are clear signs that one is in the web of
external expectations. One has to learn to break this habit and put themselves before
others, without being selfish.

Many times people start depending on others to fulfill their emotional or financial needs by
acting weak and helpless. Others think they are indispensable and that the home or
workplace cannot run in their absence.

Such people are forever doing things for others and putting themselves under severe
stress in the process. This happens when one has low self-confidence and belief in one’s
capabilities. The solution to this problem lies in taking control of the situation and thinking
about oneself without harming the interest of others. An individual’s higher self has the
ability to know what is best for the person and hence, one must listen to one’s inner voice
in any situation. This means that it is all right to seek advice and approval from others,
but the individual himself must be the decision maker.

The key to internal control lies in first accepting oneself with one’s weaknesses. The next
step is to believe in oneself and one’s capacity to make sound decisions based on one’s
experience and judgment.

By taking control of one’s life one minimizes the need for others in one’s life. This is not to
say that one must be a lone ranger, but that one must be independent in thought and
action. This helps one to take control over one’s life and to lead a happy and fulfilled life,
without carrying the burden of other’s expectations. Hence, the responsibility of tapping
into one’s internal control lies with the individual himself.
