It's all about Low Expectations

I have figured out the secret of how to make everything in life seem wonderful! Now that I have figured it out, I had to share it with everyone. I'll tell you the secret, then give you some examples so you will know how great this secret really works.

It's all about low expectations. Before watching a movie, going to a new restaurant, or buying something new, just think that it will turn out horribly and you will be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Here at the examples and my testimonial of this theory.

Example #1

One of my favorite actresses is Kristen Bell and only because she was a crime fighting teen in her 3-season-series Veronica Mars. She had a movie come out called When in Rome that I absolutely had to see because she was in it. I thought it would be the best chick flick ever, but then after I watched it, it only turned out okay. I would love to watch it again if someone else rented or owned it, but wouldn't go out in the 20 degree weather to get it from red box.

Kristen Bell then came out with a new movie called You Again. Of course I had to see it because she is in it, but considering that it went from the expensive theater to the cheap theater within a month, I just assumed that it would be pretty lame, but again, I had to see it. BEST movie I've seen all year. You know why? Because it really was good and my expectations were so low.

Example #2

LOVE Sandra Bullock. Heard her movie All About Steve was one of the biggest waste of money ever. Heck, Sandy even got an award for worst actress for it. Well, we bought it edited (even though it is only rated PG) because it was on super sale. I LOVED IT! Great storyline, amazing actors, and even a good moral at the end of the movie. Gotta recommend it to everyone, but when you do watch it, don't think of my recommendation. Just think that it will be the biggest waste of your hour-and-a-half and you will come out lovin' it!

Example #3

I thought that I could wear my regular clothes throughout my whole pregnancy, but when my button-up shirts exploded and my t-shirts became belly-shirts, it was time to buy some maternity clothes. For some reason, Rexburg doesn't have any maternity clothes anywhere I looked, so I went online. Now, I didn't want to spend 500 bucks on a few maternity items, so I went to Walmart.com. Their dresses and shirts were ridiculously cheap and some of the reviews just bashed on how horrible the clothing was. Again, I had very low expectations.

A week later, the clothes came in the mail. You know what? LOVE them! Even the cheap see-through dress seemed fashionable and comfortable. And it's all due to having low expectations.

Now just remember, love life a little more, and expect less. You'll never feel like you didn't get your money's worth ever again!
