expectations

If I decide that any specific thing is necessary to make life good or worth living then I'll always be vulnerable to time/change and the fluctuations of uncontrollable forces. The only way to be immune to this is unconditional appreciation for living on its own no matter what I have, what I do or how I feel. All of this needs to be viewed as conditional fluctuating circumstances within the overall context of an intrinsically good and worthy life.

From that perspective, expectations are minimal and everything can be enjoyed for what it is while it is. Each day another opportunity to experience life, however it is at this moment.
