Expectations...
You don't know it yet but expectations are the core cause of almost all of the sadness
and grief you've ever experienced.
And not having them, in my opinion, is the key to happiness.
If I think about it, everything that has made me sad in my whole life comes down to having
high expectations about something that didn't end up going as well as I'd hoped.
Even today, there was this person I was hoping to talk to, I was even drawing out the conversation
on my head, all topics, the jokes.
I was expecting to find that person, odds were that I would.
Lucky me, I didn't.
But the sheer fact that I was expecting something more than what actually happened made me sad
for the rest of the day.
I'm sure you can relate.
Well, not to the story I just told- only me is that dumb- but to having expectations that
didn't get fulfilled.
It doesn't even make sense from a logical viewpoint.
Why on earth would you have high expectations in the first place?
Let's say you're going to this party and you have extremely high expectations for it-
you think you're going to have the time of your life.
Naturally, the only way you're getting out of there happy is if the party surpasses your
expectations.
If it falls short, even for the tiniest amount, you're getting out of there disappointed
and sad.
Because you're expecting it to be a complete 9 out of 10, the party only has a very small
margin to work with if it wants to surpass your expectations.
In this case, there's a 90% chance that you're leaving disappointed and a 10% chance
that you'll be happy.
Had you entered the party expecting it to be complete dog shit, you would have been
happy with almost any outcome.
So, what's the key to happiness?
It's safe to say that if you want a better life, you have to stop thinking about the
future.
As I said before, trying to predict how things will go in the future causes nothing but grief.
But it's what we do.
If you ask me where I'll be in 30 years, I'd probably say I wanted a nice house,
and a good job – I'm not gonna say a nice family and kids because at this point I'm
lucky if I get to be a cool uncle.
These are expectations, if I fall short in any of those, I won't be happy.
Not having expectations is what makes some things endure.
This channel is my biggest example: for 2 years, I was nothing but a microbe.
I was watching every small channel around me quit.
Every single one.
There's not a channel that started at the same time as me that is still alive.
Because those guys came to YouTube with high expectations, and eventually quit.
I, however, never expected anything.
I never cared and that's why I'm still here.
Don't believe me?
I made a video about that years ago, I wasn't aware at the time.
But it reflects everything I said here.
In short, if you want to be happy, don't think about what's going to happen.
Maybe that's why children are so happy, because they only live the moment.
Having expectations about your future is a recipe for disappointment.
So, next time you wake up, tell yourself you're going to have the worst day, nothing is going
to go your way.
I guarantee you that day you'll be happy.
