It's not so much expectations as it is goals. Setting goals gives us a focus in our lives, something to work for and toward. It's true that we don't know what will happen to us in the future, but when you set goals - and have expectations from them - you have a hand in determining what you can avoid in the future, and what you could accomplish. Life without goals, without something to look forward to, is empty. Goals and expectations helps us overcome doubts and gives our lives meaning.

Expectations are the basement for life. When u seek something there remains a hope for life. Our expectations and ambitions are the ropes on which we walk carefully to through life. Without them, a man becomes a saint. Even saints have expectations; they want salvation! Expectations are inseparable components of life........ :-)

Because while we don't know what will happen we can focus on responding to the unknown toward a goal. I.e. I expect to go to college, so I will apply, attend, study, etc. Even though we don't know if we'll die tomorrow, at least we try to take the road to goals until we die.

We set expectations in life because without goals you would have no life.

Expectations are the road to frustration and disappointment.

faith and hope more over what is more fun than enjoying and suffering and overcoming the pain
