Don’t lower your standards, but do remind yourself that removing your expectations of others—especially those who are being difficult—is the best way to avoid being disappointed by them.

Remember, there’s always something to be negative about—and something to be grateful for. The choice is ours.

The truth is, you won’t always be a priority to others, and that’s why you need to be a priority to yourself.

Don’t let your expectations of how everything “should be” blind you to the beauty of the life you’re living. Have faith. Trust the journey.
