We usually get what we anticipate.

Summary

This quote suggests that our expectations often shape our reality. If we anticipate success or happiness, we are more likely to attract positive outcomes. On the other hand, if we anticipate failure or disappointment, we may unconsciously set ourselves up for a negative outcome. Our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes play a significant role in manifesting our experiences, and our anticipation can influence the direction and results of our actions. Therefore, it is essential to cultivate positive expectations and maintain an optimistic mindset to increase the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes.

The key is just to ignore the pain, because physical comedy only works if you see someone get hurt and they aren't actually hurt. If someone gets hit in the face with a bat, falls down, and gets back up, it's funny. If they stay down and their jaw is wired shut in the next scene, it's really tragic and weird. You have to pretend it doesn't hurt.
