I think that is a really healthy way of looking at things KML. I read a book called “Happiness is a Serious Problem” a few years ago and it was all about how we set ourselves up to be miserable by having too high expectations…of ourselves and especially of others. The author wasn’t advocating for no expectations…just that by lowering expectations, we set ourselves up to be pleasantly surprised as opposed to bitterly disappointed. Makes sense. Why would we ever want to make our happiness so dependent on factors we cannot control?
