- Max Lucado
About this Quote
Max Lucado's quote advises us to have a reasonable and practical view of the world we reside in. He prompts us to lower our expectations of earth, suggesting that we need to not expect it to be perfect or a paradise. Rather, he motivates us to accept the world for what it is, with all its flaws and challenges. Whether it's the injustices or the troubles we face in our lives, we should not expect everything to be perfect. Ultimately, holding impractical expectations can result in frustration, disappointment, and disillusionment. Thus, Lucado's message is to embrace reality and discover methods to flourish and make the best of what we have been provided.
