Our expectations always impact those around us.
Expectation means a strong belief that something will surely happen or be the case, the act or state of anticipation or looking forward to an event as about to happen. Expectations are extremely influential. An example of expectation is a belief that you will be getting promoted and you should behave as a proper lady or gentleman.

Even if we have positive expectations towards our lifelong, then we have less illness and when we get sick we recover faster.
