My dear,
Stop expecting. For expecting is the greatest impediment to living.
In anticipation of tomorrow, it loses today.
In tomorrow’s worries, it loses today’s comforts. In tomorrow’s falses, it loses today’s truths. In tomorrow’s wants, it loses today’s needs. In anticipating “what might,” it loses “what is.”
So abandon expectation, before you misplace today.
Falsely yours,
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
