Expectations … they follow a spectrum from high to low, from beyond the stars to none at all.  From whence come these hopes and dreams or lack thereof?  All come from a seed of an idea.  All arise from the mind, and there they are left to you to grow.  Even if you have no expectations, the seed is still there, or you would not be aware of the lack.  Is this not so?
 
How will you choose to nurture your ideas?  Expectations go hand in hand with belief.  If you think you can, you can.  It is that simple.  If you have no expectations, it is quite likely the seed will never sprout.
 
Expectations are fed by your own mind, yes, but do you not also allow others to feed them?  Be aware always of your thoughts.  How high can you raise your expectations?  Why, there is no limit, for you, like your Creator, have no bounds.  Consciousness is infinite.  Reach for the sky, and then soar beyond it.
