The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
A funeral shouldn’t be the first time someone brings you flowers and tells you how much you meant to them. Love and appreciation should be expressed when the person is alive.
So, I’ve found the best formula for a great life is to: Trade your expectations for appreciation. The moment you do, your whole world transforms.
By contrast, when YOU appreciate whatever life or people bring you, you are choosing to guarantee openness and invite the joy that young children have … before we spoil them with giant birthday parties and create unrealistic expectations that life and people all exist to meet their desires and needs.
