If you want to be disappointed, you will be.
If you go into something trying to find the bad, you’ll find it. If you don’t trust someone enough to believe what they tell you and you try to find out otherwise, you’ll probably find reasons not to trust them (even if those reasons are not real). If you’re expecting to fail, you have no incentive to be excellent in what you’re attempting–and you’re probably twice as likely to fail. If you’re just waiting to be offended or hurt, you won’t have to wait long because you’ll take offense to everything.
Never go into anything, whether it’s a project, a relationship, or something as simple as waking up in the morning, with an expectation of being disappointed. Disappointment is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean you have to be waiting on it.
Look at everything and everyone with the intention of finding the positive. You probably will.
