I needed this refresher today and maybe you did too:)
You are overflowing with hope about some amazing thing that’s about to happen. You pick up the phone to call one of your people. You can hardly wait for them to answer. And then, when they’ve scarcely said hello, you blurt out, “Guess what?!” and tell them what you are over-the-moon excited about.

Then they say that thing no one ever wants to hear.
“Just don’t get your hopes up.”
Umm, what?
We’ve all heard it, thought it, or maybe even said it
ourselves. But why are we compelled to diminish hope in those we love?
