Expectation vs Reality

Expectation vs Reality. We have all lived those moment where you thought something was going to go one way and it went left. Whether it's a small situation or Life's Big Moments, it can be annoying, eye opening, stressful and sometimes funny. What can we take away from having expectations that are off from reality? What are your thoughts on this 'new normal' (strongly dislike that term) we're living in? We're in a time of strange transition.
