Some helpful advice ...

Next time you feel victimized or resentful about what's happening in your life see if you can stop and notice your expectation, then notice how you feel when you are able to let go of that expectation and come into the present moment without any judgment, just awareness.  As you begin to take some deeper breaths notice sensations in your body and expand your awareness to how you feel and what is actually happening around you.  As you notice sensation, sound, smell, even taste, you come back to your senses so to speak. From this experience you will see that there is always a lot going on inside you and around you, there for you to notice and respond to in ways that promote your highest good.  From this inner knowing and awareness an intention can arise that helps you know what the next right thing is to do based on how you want to behave.
Don't let unexamined expectations keep you stuck in resentments and out of the present moment. Recognize the thoughts that have been fooling you into thinking they are reality and get ready to have the life that is your birthright- joyous and free.
