Having correct expectations of people, places and life itself is necessary if we are to secure contentment, peace and joy in our lives. When I honestly reflect upon the frustrating, angering, disappointing and depressing moments and periods of my life, I realize that some of them have been induced solely by my own erroneous expectations. I do not believe we should never have expectations, but we must be careful to ensure they remain realistic.
