Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly hopeless, is not so important as our attitude toward that fact. How you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You may permit a fact to overwhelm you mentally before you deal with it actually. On the other hand, a confident and optimistic thought pattern can overcome or modify the fact altogether.

Expecting the best means that you put your whole heart (i.e. the central essence of your personality) into what you want to accomplish.

Their heart isn't in it, which is to say, they themselves are not fully given.
