The real promise in too many promises is a promise that I’m going to be disappointed.

If I’m conceited enough to believe I’m invincible, then maybe it will take me doing the very thing I swore I would never do to understand that I’m not as wonderful as I thought I was.

Disappointment focuses on ‘what is not,’ and completely misses the far greater reality of ‘what now is.

Expectations are the shackles that will not permit something to be what it actually is.
