not sure you can expect anything. I have learned that the hard way.

No expectations means no disappoints.

@Marz true. So maybe I should say, I have expectations of the people in my life, but not from life over all?

I don't really expect anything. To sound really lame, I am grateful for anything I get. I work hard to provide for myself and my family, and hope that I will be rewarded appropriately.

Level 9

I expect absolutely NOTHING.
I am not "owed" anything, and I am not entitled to harbor "expectations".
No one is.

I expect nothing.

I desire to leave things better than I found them.

I don’t have expectations... At least I can’t think of one, probably a good thing since expectations are the root of all upset... Hey, all that meditation I do might be paying off?

Level 8

I expect many unexpected happenings (illnesses, accidents good luck, bad luck, good fortune, bad fortune, etc). Other than the unexpected, why would anyone expect anything from life but the opportunity to live as one would want (which even that most like will not happen)?

Since it is my only life, I expect no more than I put into it.

I expect people to do a better job of selecting our countrys' leaders. Iknow, I know, expect in one hand, ect. ect. Expecting is to pratice futility. Not my bag.

Level 9

To get through it on my own without being shown footprints in the sand and told someone was carrying me. In life you are the one who has your own back and you are the only one who will toot your horn. If you find a partner who will do that for you she is a very rare jewel. Be with her and protect her always.

My expectations for my life is to enjoy it as it is fleeting. Try not to harm others along the way and try to contribute. Also to satisfy my unending curiosiry about science and nature.

Level 6

Expect pain. Enjoy the lack of pain.

Food, shelter, health and good company (family or friend) 😀. Everything else is a bonus! 😀

Level 8

I'll expect some return on the effort I put into life, so far some of the return hasn't actually been quite what I would have hoped for but hope springs eternal -)

I expect nothing, I try to make the best of it
