It's been two decades since you didn't expect.

I wasn't born rich. I wasn't overly intelligent. I was a medium-level-guy trying to get a buck and a fuck, and that's all I needed. That's what I thought equaled satisfaction. I had no love in my spirit. Back then, I had a simple worldview. I remember when I made my change...

The guru at the yoga place told me what I was lacking. I needed an open mind, needed to be content with myself. He meditated with me, and told me I was blocking my own path to happiness. He asked what I thought of myself.

"Well, I don't expect much from the world. I see a lot of bad things happen, and just move on. I don't expect to live safely, I don't even expect to have any friends. I'm just waiting for my time," I said.

"Ahh, you don't expect. Stop right there. What you need are expectations. You have to set goals in order to realize them. You could be rich beyond imagining, if you start again having expectations. Spiritually rich. You know what I mean?"

It's been two decades since I didn't expect. I have been met with satisfaction ever since.
