GREAT EXPECTATIONS: TO BE, OR NOT TO BE

Are expectations a key to successful achievement, or a setup for disappointment and disaster?

Expectation implies certainty and is future-based. Expectations are what we BELIEVE will happen. Reality is what then actually occurs. A significant source of stress and unhappiness occurs for people when their idealized expectations do not occur in as favorable and satisfying a way as they imagined they would.

Many people and many philosophies advise that it is better to live free of expectations, and instead live in the possibilities of the present. "Life delivers far less disappointment when your expectations are low."

Is having expectations inherently damaging and harmful, and something to be avoided?

According to author and actor Steward Stafford, "Psychatrists say unrealistic expectations lead to depression, but why else are we alive if not to dream? Every expectation is unrealistic until it is made a spectacular reality through inspiration, hard work, and persistence."
