Achieving breakthroughs all the time

Sometimes we have breakthroughs and
it changes everything but what we want is
to have breakthroughs all the time and
for it to only confirm what we expected.
Every once in a while we get lucky and have a breakthrough: something significantly changes in our life and it's major.  This could mean that we win the lottery, we start a new relationship, we get to a new place in a relationship, or we develop a new mental model that gives us peace of mind.  We want breakthroughs all of the time and more often but how do we get them? 

We get breakthroughs by setting our expectations extremely low.  If we have exceedingly low or no expectations about having breakthroughs, then we will achieve them far more often: it's all relative.  If we have really high expectations and are frequently wanting and hoping for and expecting breakthroughs then we will probably never get them: we don't deserve them.

So set your expectations really low and do not expect breakthroughs.  If you do this, yet are prepared for breakthroughs when they do come then perhaps you can get, have, and enjoy them all the time!
