Expectations…

कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते म फलेषु कदाचना
कर्मफलेह्तुर भुरमा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मानी॥

Here is the english version:

karmanyEvAdhikAraste mA phalEShu kadAchana
mA karmaphala heturbhooh mA te sangostvakarmaNi

“you are bound to discharge your duties with devotion. Don’t expect the fruits of your deeds. Don’t remain idle. Expect nothing in return (for your deeds). He alone gives the results for your deeds. The deeds should go on unmindful of their fruits as anything done for enjoyment enslaves us to desire. Whatever one does with desire binds us to the cycle of birth and death.”

– Bhagavad Gita
