Cemar, how do you know expecting nothing will cause nothing to happen? Have all of your expectations caused ANYTHING to happen? Maybe the magic bullet is to LET GO of all expectations so that EVERYTHING can happen.
Since you are a religious man, I will quote the New Testament: Matthew 6:27
Quote: Latin Vulgate 6:27 quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum
King James Version 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
American Standard Version 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
Bible in Basic English 6:27 And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?
Darby's English Translation 6:27 But which of you by carefulness can add to his growth one cubit?
Douay Rheims 6:27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
Noah Webster Bible 6:27 Which of you by anxious care can add one cubit to his stature?
Weymouth New Testament 6:27 Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?
World English Bible 6:27 Which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to the measure of his life?
This says to me that our expectations, anxiety, and worry do NOT make anything happen (metaphorically: "add to our stature").
