Making expectations as a target that we must aim for is still a good enough thing to do but in the end in this case we also have to be someone who is realistic so that the expectations we expect do not end in regret and failure.
The situation that happens now is that most people set their expectations too high so that they cannot be achieved which makes them give up halfway.

Expectations can ultimately be a good morale booster but sometimes it actually brings down the mentality that we have so in this case it is important for us to try to be realistic in thinking about expectations so that they are not too high because after all this is quite an important thing in my opinion.
We do have to have sky-high dreams so that we continue to be motivated by what we want to achieve but for the problem of expectations we must be able to distinguish this because after all expectations can be a double-edged sword for ourselves.

That is the delicate balance between setting expectations and being realistic in our aspirations. While having expectations can provide motivation and direction, Those need to be tempered with a dose of realism to avoid disappointment and frustration. Indeed, setting expectations too high can lead to feelings of inadequacy or failure when they are not met. People need to strike a balance between ambition and pragmatism that ensures our goals are challenging yet attainable given our resources, abilities, and circumstances.

At the same time, it's important not to let the fear of failure or setbacks deter us from dreaming big and pursuing our aspirations. While being realistic about our expectations can help us avoid unnecessary disappointment, we should still strive to push our boundaries and reach for the stars. Navigating the terrain of expectations requires introspection, self-awareness, and a willingness to adjust our goals as needed. By setting realistic expectations, we can maintain a healthy perspective and increase our chances of success while also allowing room for growth and development along the way. Finding the right balance between ambition and realism is a personal journey which is shaped by our experiences, values, and aspirations.

Therefore, when we have expectations, it must be accompanied by the reality that we have because in the end, if our expectations are too high, it could backfire and make you mentally down because it cannot be realized properly. So that something like that does not happen, it would be more appropriate if we are not too grandiose in giving expectations. Expectations are indeed a good thing if you reflect on the positive side and I agree that this will add to your motivation but we also have to compare our realization with our quality so as not to let the expectations you have kill your own character who wants to build a good life.

Fear sometimes does always exist but this is one of the stumbling blocks because after all when we do something there is always a process that must be followed and the risks that we must get so that when we try to make a better situation for our lives then we must be sure of what plans we want to build so that there is no alertness when we go through what we are doing.
