Highest expectations
+++++++++++++++++++

If you’ve been disappointed, it’s tempting to lower your
expectations so you won’t be disappointed again. But that’s
not how it works.

In reality, when you expect less you’ll be disappointed
more. The lower you aim, the less fulfilling your life will
be.

You deserve a life that’s full and rich, so set your
expectations high. And see each disappointment as an
opportunity to set those expectations even higher.

In one way, disappointment is a good thing because it means
you are making an attempt. The key to fulfillment is to keep
making those attempts, to keep raising your expectations,
and to work your way forward.

A strong sense of purpose is what will keep you going. By
continuing to expect the best of yourself you can move
quickly away from each disappointment.

When you fail to reach your expectations, raise those
expectations even higher. Make it meaningful enough and
you’ll make it happen.

One little joy
+++++++++++++++++++

A life of happiness and fulfillment is built piece by piece,
one little joy at a time. The moment you’re in is the
perfect opportunity to add a little joy to life.

Even when there’s something big that’s getting you down, you
can find something small to lift you up. Just one little joy
can change your outlook in a big way.

There is a lot of goodness in life, and it’s always good to
be reminded of that. You deserve a little joy right now, so
go ahead and give it to yourself.

While you’re at it, give some joy to those around you. Even
a simple, sincere smile can make a difference, so make
wherever you are a more joyful place.

Decide that you’ll find some little way to be joyful, and
you can feel the positive energy flowing in you. Everything
you do will be enhanced and improved when you do it from a
perspective of joy.

Add a little joy to life, right now and every chance you
get. Those little joys will quickly add up to a life that’s
truly magnificent.
