Expectation: A looking forward to as due, proper, or necessary; anticipation.
I think that my understanding of the concept of expectation tends to be a little harsh. I have a tendency to warp most things until they no longer resemble their original state. Often I confuse expectation with something that is more like demanding. If I think something is due me or I must have it or it's my birthright then I get in trouble. That's insistent. There's no play in that attitude.
"Things will happen like this," I think, rigidly. I get on my bulldozer and fire up the diesel. But when I step back and try to analyze what's really going on I find that half the time I don't even know what I want. And god forbid I get what I think I want.
That's usually a total disaster.
