Expectations

“Resentment involves a state of mind and bodily feeling. It is a form of anger that results from an unfulfilled, potentially unrealistic, expectation. It occurs when we associate more negatives or drawbacks than positives or benefits with some expected outcome or behavior. Gratitude is an attitude that arises when we realize that there exists an underlying balance of positives for each of the negatives. It results from the recognition of an underlying order. A balanced perspective can ‘cure’ resentment. A realistic expectation can prevent it.”

“Which is deeper: happiness or joy? I vote for joy as happiness evaporates epidermically while joy resonates down to your bones.”

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and know what you want.

“You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing. Get interested in something! Get absolutely enthralled in something! Get out of yourself! Be somebody! Do something. The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.”
