Wisdom of the Ages

“If you don’t have expectations; you don’t get disappointed”. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have expectations as that is human nature; that means to me that when I get disappointed I have to accept responsibility for the disappointment instead of holding someone or something else responsible. This has helped me through friendships and marriage. People do not know what you expect from them unless you tell them and we can’t expect them to read our minds.”
