Be encouraged by these expectation quotes to keep your expectations realistic. We all have expectations and sometimes the expectation we have is exceeded and sometimes it falls short.
These expectation quotations explore a part of life that is crucial to every person's self-worth. These quotes highlight different authors' interpretations of what it means to live
a life filled with expectation or filled with too much expectation from others.
Whether it is fate, destiny, objectives or assumptions of things to be or yet to be, there are elements of both joy and dislike.
Too often, we let other people set out what our life should be and should look like. However, true happiness unfolds within one's own desires and personal expressions of what it means
to lead a fulfilling life. To each their own choice; to each their own life, and to each the right for personal fulfillment.
Only you can define your expectations for what you want to get out of a job,
