EXPECTATIONS – VEN. THAY THANH

Expectations:    

Teaching in NC in 2017, Chuc Thanh told us to “Live your life without expectations. You will never be disappointed.”

How do you think this applies to daily life?  Can you establish goals and set about to achieve them without having expectations?  What is the message regarding having goals or expectations that may not be achieved?
