Anticipation 

Anticipation is born of hope. 
The natural world is built upon common motifs and patterns. Recognizing patterns in nature creates a map for locating ourselves in change, and anticipation what is yet to come.
What does the anticipation feels like? 
The sensation of staring into the void, the awareness of an end’s impending arrival, Burning and being extinguished simultaneously. 
Some part of us can't wait to see what life's going to come up with next.  
Anticipation without the usual anxiety.
The moment seemed endless, but it was probably only half that.
We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Pain is nothing but growth is waiting for us to give it permission to grow us up.
The pleasure isn't in doing the thing.
The pleasure is in planning it.
Anticipation is sometimes is more exciting than actual events.
Anticipation of happiness can sometimes be as gratifying as its consummation. 
And you will never again underestimate the power of anticipation. There is no better boost in the present than an invitation into the future.
Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. But without excitement, you have nothing. You're cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming.
The best is always worth waiting for. And once you taste it, no other taste will do.
The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.
Thank the past for all the lessons it taught you. 
Anticipate the future for all the blessings it has in store for you.
Anticipation is merely a formal invitation of the future.
