Keep your expectations tiny you'll go through life not so whiney. — © Matt Groening
Keep your expectations tiny you'll go through life not so whiney.
If I fulfill YOUR expectations, how am I going to transform you? I have to DESTROY your expectations. I have to destroy the very mind that creates those expectations. If you come to me, never come with expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed - because I have no obligation to fulfill your expectations in any way. In fact, if I see that there are some expectations, I do things DELIBERATELY to destroy those expectations. That is the price you have to pay to be with me.
She nodded, but Tiny was still holding her arm, and he asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to do this, Beau? It sounds painful." "Not as painful as the turn," she said solemnly. "And I'd go through this and a lot more to keep you as my life mate.
Not everything will go as you expect in your life. This is why you need to drop expectations, and go with the flow of life.
To me, you go through things like that and you learn from it. You add it on to your life, to try to make your life better. Instead of dogging people, learn something from it. And keep stepping.
You just can't muscle your way through some things in life. You just have to keep your head on your shoulders and dance with it as you go.
Plow through the weeds. Go to the auditions and go to the meetings and be on time. Stop looking to the left or the right. Keep your head down and keep moving.
It's the things that you notice when you're not actually with your instrument that, in fact, become so interesting, and that you - you want to explore, through this tiny tiny surface of a drum.
...when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, you're free.To hold on is to be serious and uptight. To let go is to lighten up.
Don’t look at other people and compare yourself. Just do the work. Because when the opportunity is there, you have to be ready. Make sure your craft is refined and you’re constantly working on it. Plow through the weeds. Go to the auditions and go to the meetings and be on time. Stop looking to the left or the right. Keep your head down and keep moving.
You go through your career and you find people and cast who you love and you go through and keep them and you never want to let them go because you have a great repertory with them.
I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.
If you don't measure up to your expectations, realize that you should just be life without expectations.
When life's conditions don't equal your expectations you are unhappy, have no expectations only appreciations (especially in the area of relationships)
In life and in movies, it's a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.
So...I'm larking through the Baby Gap, looking at tiny capri pants and sweaters that cost more than ... I don't know,more than they should. And I get totally sucked in by this ridiculous, tiny fur coat. The kind of coat a baby might need to go to the ballet. In Moscow. In 1918. To match her tiny pearls.
You're going to go through times when you don't do too well, or you may have some slumps or get outpitched. Just keep going up there and having your at-bats, keep having your same approach and keep trying to make little adjustments like you do during the season.
