A thought about expectations:
"I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods."
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882, essayist, philosopher, poet and leader of the American Transcendentalist movement; from ‘Experience’).
