“Attachment and disappointment come only when we expect a return.” – Swami Vivekananda

When suffering occurs it is because we have attachment or expectation that things will going to go a certain way, and then they don’t. We actually create our own suffering through our attachments.

If we can try to live from a place of expectancy rather than expectation, we can avoid a lot of suffering. Have expectancy that good will happen and your needs will be filled, rather than having specific expectations that may not be fulfilled.
