Expectations are a way of living
in a future reality

When one ceases to live in the present
one is always open to

Disappointment
Discouragement
Disassociation

After spending time in Expectations

One ceases to try to succeed
in reality

Because the state of disappointment
Becomes reality. 

Expectations
are a double edged sword

Expectations embody both
the best of what we dream
and the worst of what we fear

All at the same time.
