Expectations

I have a saying, or perhaps a mantra, that guides my approach to life: “High hopes, low expectations.” This perspective has become something of a personal philosophy for me. It’s fascinating how our relationship with expectations shapes our experience of the world. Many people navigate life feeling frequently disappointed simply because their expectations exceed what reality can reasonably deliver. In relationships, careers, and personal endeavors, setting excessively high expectations often creates a cycle of unnecessary dissatisfaction.
