Suffering comes from unmet expectations. Replace them with appreciation and look for the hidden gift in what happens to you. This one shift in perspective can change everything.
You want a great life from this day forward? Trade your expectations for appreciation and your whole life will change in that moment. Trade your expectations of your partner, of yourself, of life for appreciation, and all of a sudden your whole life changes that moment. Because suffering comes because of expectations, expectations that aren't met. But if your expectation isn't met but you look for something else, you will always find another gift, something else really special, something else. But you got to dig for it. You got to realize this is happening for me, not to me, and you got to dig for it. And you don't always get it right away, but you can trust it's there because you've had enough experiences like this. Expectations destroy joy.
