Stop expecting so much from your employees, your family, and yourself. It’s a waste of time and a perpetual fountain of disappointment.
Sounds ridiculous, right? But, hear me out.
I’m not suggesting you lower the bar of what you’d like to see happen in those around you. And I’m certainly not asking you to stop pushing yourself to higher and higher levels. What I am suggesting is that you consider the success rate of your past expectations and the effect they have on you and the people in your life.
Expectations are those silent setups that fill you with anticipation and hope, but ultimately result in disappointment, or at best, nothing at all. That’s a rollercoaster ride no one asked for.
As an example, if someone meets our expectations, we’re likely not to have an emotional response (because the other person did exactly what we thought they would do). And if they miss our expectations, we will be disappointed and possibly even angry, disrespected, or devalued.
That sounds like a recipe for repeated disaster and growing feelings of imposter syndrome.
So, like I said before, stop expecting so much from others. It’s a waste of time.
