Don't be surprised when people do things you don't expect from them. Have you never done things that you are surprised or shocked at doing? If you can surprise and shock yourself by some of the things you've done in your life, why should you place other people on a pedestal?
Human beings are flawed. Nobody is perfect. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Keeping this truth at the back of our minds when relating with other people will really help us in having the right perspectives, right and realistic expectations. I'm talking especially to people that trust easily. It's not a bad thing to trust other people, but you have to be very careful and cautious in giving your trust so easily. Or else people will take advantage of you.
Give allowances for people to fall short of your expectations. Just because someone is not living up to your expectation(s) does not mean that person is a bad person. It just means that person is not who you thought he/she is. Re-evaluate, re-adjust and move on.
Life is to be enjoyed and not to be endured!
