Expectation.
One simple thing that can ruin one's mood and mess up one's frame of mind if allowed to grow.
Expectations are the weeds of the garden of your mind and your relations with others, they drink deep of the vitality of all the greenery about and when met provide but that feeling of relief and perhaps a little pleasant satisfaction while, on the other hand, when not lived up to, these very same expectations dry out and strangle the roots of one's relations and end turn vistas that once resembled the mythical land of Eden to something more commonly seen in most community parks in places like Dwarka: hard, barren ground with a smattering of greenery here and there.
Not quite the pleasant spot for relaxation anymore now, is it?
To conclude this surprisingly short and vague post: Learn to not expect. As a friend's 'status' read: "Don't expect things to happen. It's better to be surprised than to be disappointed." (paraphrased- the original had way more ellipses and emoticons).
