Simplified Meaning:
When you don't have high hopes or expectations, you won't feel let down if things don't go your way. For example, if you don't expect a lot of gifts on your birthday, you'll be happier with whatever you do get. It's about not building up a situation in your mind too much so that it can't meet your high standards. By keeping your expectations low, you can find joy in the little things and won't feel disappointed as often. It's a way to keep yourself content and avoid unnecessary sadness. This approach can help you stay happy because you appreciate what you have rather than focusing on what you lack.
