How can I give something without losing anything?
The only true way to give something of value is to lose everything. Me and Bobby McGee song lyric says “Freedom is a place where there is nothing left to lose.” IF you gain the whole world and lose your soul you have, in the end, gained nothing. You must give everything in faith to Jesus and in the end you will gain the best possible reward. The question is a selfish question based on fear. giving something with a fear of losing all in the end isn’t really given. It is parted with reluctantly. TO give is to pass on to someone something without holding any further claim to it. You aren’t losing something you are blessing someone.
How do you go about giving up expectations without losing the fun of anticipation?
It's really up to you. Sure, this can vary quite a bit depending on what your expectations are. If you are really excited to buy a new toy or gadget, and you finally get it and it breaks or it's a piece a crap, that is outside of your control more than if you are looking forward to flying to an island vacation all year and it rains. You can still have a good time, or you can wallow in the unfortunate circumstance. Because of this, my best advice is to find an optimistic spouse!Also, if you focus your expectations more on experience than objects, you have more control over the results. Getting excited about starting a new job because it will be different and a new experiences Is a different expectation than imagining exactly what your new job will be like only to have it be different than you expected. This is a very interesting question indeed, because I agree that anticipation is a big part of enjoying most of life. Studies show if you plan a vacation 6 months in advance, you will get more enjoyment out of those 6 months than spending money on most other things. THe anticipation and build up makes your week vacation seem much longer. And when you return you start planning the next one.I have tried this first hand recently and agree with the study. But life is full of peaks and valleys, and to feel extreme happiness you have to also know what extreme sadness feels like. If you were happy all of the time then you wouldn't know the difference. It's great to be optimistic and always look at the bright side, but is also ok if every once in a while the world catches up with you and brings you down into a valley. At these moments, it's important to reflect back on your peaks and remind yourself what got you there. Again, great question indeed, and I hope this somewhat answered what you were looking for?

How can I afford extras without giving up all our family time?
When you get home, let them feel your presence, Spend a lot of your free time with them so they know that your they're father. Try to build up the relationship between your children, just because your not there all day doesn't mean you are a bad father. It means your working hard for them and when you come home after work you enjoy them. You can't quit work or your family There both very important things and both need time and effort.
