If you reduce expectation to minimum level, life becomes a box full of surprises...
when you remain in the state of expectation, nothing can surprise you...
the only way to manage this is to be present in the present moment and welcome each experience as they come to you...
expect or not , you will experience so many things anyways....so why comsume your energy by waiting rather than welcoming each experience as they come...
to be able to manage to be present in the present moment ,one should reach the real I ...
the real I is the only one that can call you to the present moment while the false I is lost in the noise of the mind...
the biggest present that the present moment can offer you is the present moment itself...
the Now...
where anyhting is possible...
" See if you can catch the voice in your head, perhaps in the very moment it complains about something, and recognize it for what it is: the voice of the ego, no more than a thought. Whenever you notice that voice, you will also realize that you are not the voice, but the one who is aware of it. In fact, you are the awareness that is aware of the voice. In the background, there is the awareness. In the foreground, there is the voice, the thinker. In this way you are becoming free of the ego, free of the unobserved mind."

" Why do anxiety, stress, or negativity arise? Because you turned away from the present moment. And why did you do that? You thought something else was more important. One small error, one misperception, creates a world of suffering."
