Expectations in my mind are treading on thin ice. Yes we all have expectations and if you don’t you are kidding yourself. You can have the great expectations in life and them never happen but then why have them then if they may never happen at all in the first place. Maybe it is that whole having faith thing, that things will turn out for the best in the end.
Example 1: When you someone goes for a job interview they go in expecting to sell themselves to the business that to be a great asset to the company and get the job. If not, they have it in the back of their mind. Most times the go out of the interview with high hopes that they would here in the next couple of days or weeks, “We would like you to come work for us.” So, for the next couple days things are going great with the feeling that they will soon be employed by this great company. Now when the phone rings and the company says what they are going to say. Either way you are still on thin ice with expectations.
Example 2: Going out on a date with the person that you have had you eye for a while. You both might have been friends for years and decided to see what would happen if you two went to the next level or you might be two people that were set by friends. There is a thin line that you are on while you are on the date. You don’t want to say to much about yourself or say to little and not show your interesting self. Yes you want to be your self but you don’t want to show all of your cards at once. The expectations might be there in plan sight or in the back of you mind of do they like me, do I like them, or could this be the one. With every moment try to figure out if they are keep their distance or wanting to get closer. When it is over that is when you look back and that is when the expectations paid off or not. It might be in a confused state saying do they just want to be friends and nothing for or a yes I would like to go out again.
Example 3: Going out into the real world a lot of people have a lot of expectation of what their future holds. Find that job that you can work and love for the rest of their days with no trouble or to retiring earlier then anybody else traveling the world. Those are just some. Again expectations are there that is a balancing act but nobody knows if you are going to make it to the other side.
Expectation are good to have but do you want to set them to high but our parents tell us from the time we are young to shoot for the stars and you can do anything you want to do. So what is the deal should we even have expectations, should we set our expectations high and shoot for the stars, or go through life by the seat of our pants.What do you think? Or do I'm I looking at it all worng?

Good questions... hard questions. I don't really have an answer. Concerning things beyond my control (ie relationships), I try not to look too far ahead, but instead play things day by day until my ideas are evident rather than suspected.
My personal scope of expectations is to have optimistic realistic expectations. Granted this is not any easy combo, but one I try to keep none-the-less. Most of what we can and cannot accomplish is due to OUR OWN PERSONAL BELIEFS of what can and cannot accomplish. Me, myself, and I ultimately are the limiting and driving factors in our successes ...... and our failures.
