Money help: Do you value the things you expect? - Help.com

I agree with you!

Oh- that is a good question. I’ve seen this episode of CSI, that particular part was thought-provoking to the extreme. At the moment, I am finding myself reading the question over and over again, trying to figure out exactly what it means. Running on two or three hours of sleep is never good for my intellect.
I expect that most people that I encounter will not be rude, but I value it when they are past polite to amicable.
I expect that my family will always love me when I walk through the door coming home from wherever, but I value it when they are in good moods and no one has been drinking.
For a couple examples, those are them. It is also interesting that the only things that I find to expect involve things with emotion and not things in the world outside of personal connections. I’m sure if I thought a bit more I could find some without a personal connection.
I cannot always expect the things I value, but I value the things that I expect.

yeah , the vid is from CSI, not sure which one tho…

i agree

Expectations are beliefs. Values are desires.

Both are reflections of the individual psyche, both are highly relative and subject to change.

Values define what we want from our experience. Expectations define the experience we believe we will have. Validation or negation of either will, in turn, either solidify or reshape said values and expectations.

That’s the way I see it, anyhow. ^_^
