“Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.” - Ralph Marston
Do your expectations align with your reality? Do you expect too much? Do you challenge yourself to perform at a higher level, in order to meet your expectations? Do your best, always try harder, and don't expect anything.
Expectations will always fail you. Your expectations are usually not your reality. Do not expect to much. Do not expect to little. Be balanced. It's like a teeter totter of life, your expectations on one side, your reality on the other.
If you expect too much, you'll be let down, and feel miserable. If you expect to little, you won't challenge yourself enough to achieve greatness; and you'll be settling with mediocrity. Do not settle. Don't accept failure. Don't accept being miserable. Don't accept anything less than true happiness. Failure is not an option.
Don't hold others to your expectations, they will fail you and let you down. You can only rely on yourself. You are you, and they are they. Be who you want to be, the best that you can be. Let others be who they want to be, and do not judge them. Do not hold them to your standards. Do not expect them to be the same as you. Do not expect them to make the same choices as you. Do not expect them to understand you.
You can only control one person in this world, and it is yourself. Only expect things of yourself, not of others.
Do not accept failures. Do not disappoint yourself by failing to perform to your best ability. Set goals, and reach for them, go after them with full focus. Don't go into a day expecting things to happen that are left up to others. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't. Life is purely coincidental, that is all.
Everything happens, you can only control yourself in any given situation. Don't let yourself down. Don't forget who you are. Don't forget what you stand for, or what you believe in.
