Expectations have zero value except to cause upset. If you look into your own life, you will notice that almost all of your upsets are related to expectations of yours that are not being met.
This is especially true when it comes to other people. The expectations we have of other people cause us to be disappointed over and over again. Instead of having expectations of the people in your life, let them surprise you and be grateful when they do. Expectations of others are an indication that you are a control freak otherwise you wouldn't have expectations of others in the first place.
The 'organizing intelligence of the universe,' in most cases, does not permit expectations to be met until we fully appreciated what we have. Expressing sincere gratitude for what we have guarantees the universe will bring more good things into our life for us to be grateful for.
"I am open to the guidance of synchronicity and
do not let expectations hinder my path.” Dalai Lama
“When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one
really appreciates everything one does have” - Stephen Hawking
“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you
are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not
to attack you because you are a vegetarian” - Dennis Wholey
