I don’t have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

Meaning of the quote

Having expectations about how your life will turn out can lead to major letdowns. If you expect things to go a certain way and they don't, you'll end up feeling very disappointed. It's better not to have strong expectations and just take life as it comes, rather than setting yourself up for big letdowns.
