You know the feeling. You’ve anticipated the moment for so long and when it happens it turns out being a lot different then you expected. It happens all the time. You daydream about everything that is going to take place. You go all out in preparing for that moment. The only problem is that it didn’t meet your expectation.

• The expectation that she was the one – but she really wasn’t
• The expectation that something special was going to happen that night – but it didn’t
• The expectation that love conquers the misfortunes of life

Reality is a different card that we all must face.

• The reality that the sparkle in her eye has changed
• The reality that things just aren’t playing out how you wanted them too
• The reality that the misfortunes of life can cause a lot of heartbreak and pain

Your expectations and your reality are two guides.
The reality of our expectations require us to dream
The expectations of our potential reality require us to hope
