About This Quote
As hope is the fuel of our lives, expectation is the propeller that drives us forward. The best thing about our expectations is that they are not based on the past. What we expect tomorrow will be different than what we expected yesterday. And since our expectations are always based on what we expect to happen in the future, they are boundless.
Each morning, we wake up with new expectations about everything happening around us. There is never a moment when we are bored or dissatisfied with what is happening all around us. When you feel great about things you do today, it is because you have expectations of things to come.
