“My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.” ~Michael J. Fox

Expectations. They’re killers.

Expecting a call, or a check, or a promotion?

Or maybe a perfect dinner party or presentation.

How about expecting others to notice—or to overlook?

Maybe a bonus.

Or happiness.

Or love.

Or more time.

Some advice: Intend, don’t expect.

The difference? Clear intentions—knowing the WHY behind the WHAT you expect—rarely produce resentment.

Best to check your expectations at the door, or you’ll wear a coat of disappointment on the way out.
