Today my thoughts are on expectations. It is very hard for things to live up to our high expectations. So why do we set them so high? Are high expectations a good thing or a bad? I think it can be both. Sometimes our expectations get in our way and sometimes they push us to try harder.
I can recall experiences from my past in which my parents' high expectations kept me from making poor choices. But I have also experienced times when I knew that I could never reach my high expectations and instead of doing my best I felt paralyzed by the realization that I would most definitely fail. There have also been times when my high expectations have kept me from enjoying the journey.
What are you thoughts on high expectations?

I think there needs to be a balance. We need to have reasonable expectations.
Hey, have you determined when the lunch will be? I literally have something going every single Saturday for the next 6 weeks, so I am trying to plan out my schedule.
oh cant wait for tomorrow! :)
I think you nailed it! It really can go both ways, set them too high, paralyzed. Set them too low, and never reach your dreams!
I guess I tend to start with expectations that are fairly reasonable. Then move up from there as I gain confidence in what I can do. I hate that paralyzing feeling!
I saw you won that Spells ARC, awesome!!
I agree with the expectations. Sometimes if I expect too much, I'm disappointed if it doesn't go the way I thought it would - but when it does go the right way...woo hoo! =)
