On having expectations


less than 1m read
·Nov 3, 2024

Uh, I try not to have expectations of what I'm doing next or where things are going to go because then you close yourself off to the opportunities that the universe is constantly dropping all around you.

It's just, you have to go pick them up, and you have to be aware enough to notice them. And when, if you're too single-minded with your desires, you're not going to notice new opportunities to grow that are emerging.

In fact, like the worst thing that could have happened to you was if you'd gotten all the desires. If everything you wanted in life had actually happened, you'd be living in your hometown, you'd be married to your high school sweetheart, you'd be doing your first job, but you'd be the boss at Dunkin' Donuts, whatever your first job was, right?

So you have to... The world doesn't always give you what you want, but it often gives you what you need. For that, you just have to be willing to accept that, yeah, maybe this is not the right place, the right time for me, and I just need to move on.
