is one of the many life has taught me - and how!! till I got it...
How I fought with my Dad when he used to say this to me because time and time again he would see how my expectations played havoc with me! but would I listen? No - I thought, like all young people, that the older generation was hell-bent on not letting us get the maximum out of life.
Fact, though, is that what they said was true---not having expectations is what helps us to make sense out of life and living, as well as helps us to make the most out of life and living...
So for all those who have expectations, the wise thing would be to chuck them all out...and take life and living on an as-is, wherever-is, whatever-is, however-is, as-it-comes basis!
