This is a characteristic which God has been convicting me of since I gave my life to Him, constantly encouraging me that He came to give me a life, not of mediocrity, but, "exceedingly abundantly beyond anything I can ask, think, or imagine." This is not to say that I never feel disappointed, or resort back to my former philosophy (because I know I do regularly), but I am learning trust and faith. I'm not trying to be super spiritual (after all, we're talking about a breakfast sandwich), but I just got to thinking about the bigger picture. “Leave no room for disappoint” has been my general philosophy for existence since before I can remember, in regards to both my personal expectations and other’s expectations of me.

I do agree though, I try and use this on Movies. It just sucks when their actually worse than you expect. Such as, new employee's (if you think their going to suck their going to suck worse) A day of work (if you think it's going to suck it's going to suck worse) A blind date (if you think their going to suck their going to suck worse) A day at the river (if you think it's going to suck it's going to suck for those who dont go - <b>I like the river</b>) im off to watch <b>Rocky III</b> this definetly works with food, but I wouldnt use this techniqe for a whole lot of other things.

I always go into things expecting the worst. In this world there is a way better chance of expecting the worst and getting something better than wanting the best and getting something worse.

Just recognize you have the glass and see how much it gets filled up. I love it, it doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty, or half full.
