Turn Your Expectations Right Side Up…The Other Side!
Hello Everyone:
I was talking to a friend of mine who shared with me another perspective on expectations. She also has her expectations upside down. My friend however, has a default set of expectations that things will always go wrong. For her the challenge is to look for what is right, rather than what is wrong. It reminded me that each of us has our own set of filters or expectations that have been defined and refined over the years since our childhoods. While we all need to turn our expectations right side up, how and in what ways will be unique to each one of us.
Maybe I jumped ahead last week. Maybe it would have been more helpful to ask each one of you to first define your set of expectations. Are you someone who expects that people and life will let you down no matter what? Are you someone who believes that you can control your destiny? Do you unconsciously expect things to go right or things to go wrong?
For those of you that struggle with believing things can go right, I offer the same opportunity and challenge as last time. See if you can turn your expectations right side up as well. Expect success, satisfaction, and happiness as if you scheduled them for yourself. How does this impact your life? How does this change the way in which you react to life events? What new meaning or reframing is now available?
Stay with me and engage in this conversation. Your voice has an impact. What are your thoughts on this subject?
We want to know because….Your life matters!
Take care and till next time,
Julie
