Expectations

Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
-Charlotte Bronte

Expectations can go one of two ways. It can raise the standard with more preparation and focus (activity, meeting, communication, event) or it can provide opportunity for disappointment. As I get older I find I am learning to stretch my limits farther and be much quicker to let pass the disappointment or difference between expectation and outcome. Its really a calming realization. Many times the continual replay in our heads or what could have been or should have been, have adverse effects on confidence, performance and stress. Don’t get me wrong, mistakes and outcomes need to be broken down as learning opportunities, but then its time to move on quickly and assertively. Once you realize a good many things in life are out of your control, its easier to focus on what are…and make life more fun in the mean time.
