Expectations. We all expect things in life. Whether from other people, from ourselves, or from situations. However, when we make our decisions based on the expectations of those around us, we start to live our lives in a state of obligation. And when we do that, we are not truly living.

What would it be like if we were to live our truth, speak our mind and live a life that truly has meaning for us? What would it be like to start being honest with ourselves, and following our hearts?

It’s time take ownership and make choices for you. Because ultimately, this is your life.

Filmed at Shiyalongubo Dam, South Africa.
Featuring Nick Nyalungu (@nyalungu_afrikanretreat).
