Greg Faxon delivers a short spoken reflection (YouTube video) arguing that "the secret to happiness is low expectations." He recounts visiting a new bouldering gym in Salt Lake City where grading differed (a V4 felt like a V7 compared to his home gym), which made him briefly feel inadequate. He concludes that expectations are socially constructed and that approaching situations with low or no expectations—across life, business, and fitness—reduces frustration and increases pleasant surprises.
