Despite my warning the past couple of days about expectations for OTHERS, and unrealistic expectations because we don’t have enough information and think it through, expectations may be the number one factor in our success. What kind of expectations?
Positive expectations of the only thing we can control – our own performance. We must have high expectations for ourselves, because we will never outperform our own expectations. If we say things like – “I can’t”, or “I’ll get by”, or “I’m a middle of the pack kind of guy, and I’ll never be a high performer”, then that is all we will be.
If we say to ourselves, “I will find way to win (accomplish X, be X, etc.)”, or “I’ll do what is necessary to win”, or “Despite what they say and my apparent limitations, I will stay with this and make adjustments until I win”, then it will happen.
Self expectation is what you believe about yourself, and what you believe is what will come true.
What do you expect from yourself?
Happy Birthday think daily. It’s an important start to my day every day. It’s refreshing for my mind and makes me think of things you take for granted and adds focus.
