Can our expectations get us into trouble?

Answer 1

Well, I would say it depends on the very nature of the expectation itself because not all expectations lead us to trouble- some lead us to progress & expansion as well. And so not to expect anything from life would be a very pessimistic approach because the very essence of life itself is expectations- we look forward to each day solely because we expect to live. So I think we should always evaluate the pros & cons but none the less should give expectations a chance...

Answer 2

Definitely. Not only that, but it's disappointment that usually leads to the trouble. I've slowly learned over the past several years not to expect much, that way I'm not so disappointed and also I'm more pleasantly surprised in some cases than I would have been years ago, and I protect myself from trouble...

Answer 3

I think we can get hurt but not in trouble. At least for me it's that way. I live my life not expecting things to go a certain way....and I am never disapointed with the way things turn out. I make the best of every situation and always see the wisdom in my mistakes

Yes, and I expect this is where I want to be.
