Stockseekr,
If anything, excitement and expectations are at an all time high. I believe that is why Maui suggested to keep it low key. Have you ever been starving and then went to a buffet? I bet there was more on your plate than you could actually eat. It is common for people to set their expectations higher than what is reasonable due to their excitement. If you ever had kids, or if you can remember when you were a kid, they would dream of all these fantastic gifts they might get from Santa the night before Christmas. When they eventually opened their gifts, you could see some disappointment in their eyes if they didn't get what they were expecting even though it was an extremely nice gift.

Maui suggested we chill and enjoy what comes. We all know we will get to our goals eventually.... eventually. Just chill and be patient.

BTW, if you don't know what chill means, go to Hawaii. It is the only place I've been to that gave me a feeling of what it meant to not worry about tomorrow, but to just enjoy today.

Maui, you may need to correct my Hawaiian, but I believe the word I'm looking for is hoʻomaha.
