Word of the Week:  Expect

Expectations can let us down.  When we expect someone to show up, or complete something, and it does not happen, we are disappointed. I am learning to embrace where people are in life, and trying to lessen my expectations of who or what they should be or do.

Even when it comes to expectations of myself, I have noticed the let down because of my expectations when I work hard towards a goal. I expect change to happen and when it does not, I lose faith in the process, and often give up.

I have spent the past year working towards goals, expecting results and have been left disappointed. Things change and what used to produce results, no longer does. It does not mean change is not happening, it is just not the way I expected.  And so for the rest of this year and into the next, I will keep working towards my goals, and my expectations.
