Borrow me some of your positive expectations? I will return it I pinky swear 😉
You are right though a person should not be afraid to expect good things, it will be soul crushing if a person were to be completely and utterly invested in the expectation, some even are a given such as having a child, as much as expecting the best, when things do take a turn in that moment being hopeful goes out the window and maybe a little bit will always be lost thereafter.
Hi Jeff 👋 I think we need to get you kitted out again.
No need to return it, please keep it forever.
This post seems to have stirred things up for people in different ways. I wish I would have had more time to go deeper into these subjects. I wrote this post in 15 minutes! I covered some deep things in a shallow way. I am not oblivious to the opposite outlook that most of these posts took. There certainly is a happiness found in not expecting much and being grateful for what you have. I take time everyday to meditate on gratitude. Maybe my outlook is not shared by many. Maybe I’ve been “lucky”, although I do not believe in luck. 🍀
Jeff would love more kit! 😎
