Positive expectation

No one would lie to herself by stating they have no expectation of good things happening in their life.
I am no exception!
However, being positive about your expectations has its own repercussions. Negative things still happen while you're only looking out for the positive. Some advise that one should plan for bad things, but I could ask you to look realistically into yourself and tell me whether you have really planned for disaster.
I could tell that many don't. This is because mankind is wired to think about the benefits not the loss. When your expectations do not occur the way you wanted them to, the irritating advise of being realistic is brought to light. I personally do not think any person within their reasonability would overdream themselves. These dreams that came to your mind were within your potential to reach them, otherwise they would not have popped up.
Being positive is not an easy state to be in despite society's constant promotion of positive thinking. My mind is totally overwhelmed by focusing on how I am thinking. It's hard knowing you're not being positive.
Here are my findings: When I am positive about a particular situation due to happen, I get impatiently tense thus the resultant expectations happen slower than the challenges against the expectation. The irony is that when I get negative, nothing changes. Things seem to be moving the way they would if I were positive,
but, still it's deemed unhealthy to be negative.
It's a psychological rollercoaster, indeed!
