Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. Sooner or later we get just what we expect. Hope and expectation are a fool's income. He who wants a mule without fault may go afoot. You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. Real love begins where nothing is expected in return. I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine. Giving love to others and not expecting it back is also a form of self-love. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
