Tony Robbins says ‘trade your expectations for appreciation and you have a new life’. I found this to be profound and really believe it.

When you care to focus on it, you realize there is a great deal to appreciate. That things you’ve been expecting you may have been taking for granted. An insatiable appetite for more and more expectations results in misery, regardless of how many great things are accomplished or received. On the inverse, becoming aware of all you have to appreciate is a centering exercise that leaves you in a grateful state even when everything isn’t working out perfectly externally.

Find something to be grateful for today. And if you must expect, expect yourself to be appreciative.
