Expectations

Expectation is a powerful thing. It claims our emotion, captures our intellect, and drives reaction to reality. We can be so arrogant about our expectations, but how do we influence what is out of our control so that our expectations are met? I get inpatient when my expectations are left wanting. My son gets frustrated and angered when his are not met. Does this mean that we set our expectations to high or that we are too analytical in establishing outcomes. I think it means that I do not live in the moment. But this is not a rant, just an interesting thought.
