“Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise”
— Alice Walker

Simplified Meaning:
Don't set high expectations for how things will turn out or what you will receive from others. When you don't expect anything, you won't feel disappointed if things don't go your way. Instead, be happy and content with the unexpected joys and surprises that come along, no matter how small they are. Imagine you're planting a garden. If you don't expect all your seeds to grow, you'll be delighted with each plant that does sprout, enjoying it more fully because it wasn't guaranteed. By appreciating these little surprises, you can lead a happier and more content life.
