The Buddha said "with our thoughts we create our world. Our self-talk -
the phrases we quietly and often unconsciously say to ourselves, and
the questions we ask - contain the concepts,filters, blinders, and
occasionally, the crystal clear windows through which we observe and
interpret reality. If we approach the world with expectations to be
met, rather than an openness to accept (or at least begin with) what is
there already, those expectations become the source of our own misery.
If we form tight, detailed concepts of what we need to be happy, those
concepts become the root of our unhappiness, because they shut out all
of the opportunities to find happiness already around us.
