Episode Description

Morning Mantra: "Trade your expectation for appreciation and the world changes instantly."

The world doesn't owe you a thing. That comes from a sense of entitlement. You expect a certain outcome because you WANT it. Then you get disappointed that you didn't get it. Expectations are disappointments waiting to happen.

So what can you do to manage your expectations?

Ask yourself what you are expecting from a situation and why.

Look for the positive in what you already have to reduce the wanting.

Be generous to others without expecting anything in return to reduce disappointment if they don't reciprocate.

Let go of always striving for more and being disappointed if you don't get there. Know that your best is good enough.

Accepting and taking all that is good from the present moment, because in reality, that is all we ever have.

Expect less, appreciate more.
