Lighten up
We live in a society where most people take themselves and their decisions very seriously. We all have images and expectations of how we want things to turn out, but when they finally happen it is important to lighten up and throw away the picture.
Since you can only control your own actions and your view of the world, there is no point in insisting that something happens in a particular way. If you are focused on the way an event is supposed to happen, rather than enjoying the way it is, you might feel disappointed instead of excited. Do not let yourself miss out on having wonderful experiences that occur in completely different ways from how you imagined.
