Expectations?
I keep seeing motivational sayings that encourage people to lose all expectations in order to be happier. The idea is that if you expected nothing then you can’t be disappointed. I am not sure if it the fact that I am 42 and that is a lot of years of programming to change or if I am confused by the meaning of expectations. Does having no expectations also mean have no hope? I mean I hope for things with the understanding that it may not happen, but I still feel disappointment when they don’t. I don’t know what I can do to fix this way of thinking, because I want to not be disappointed, but I don’t want to live without hope.
