Expectations Will Kill You

#EverydayEnzo Day 8

Some have said that the secret to happiness is having low expectations.

I’m going a step further and saying that expectations will kill you.

I suffered from putting high expectations on everyone I met.

A new friend. Why didn’t they make plans to hang out?

A new business prospect. Why aren’t they responding to the proposal?

An employee. Why aren’t they going above and beyond?

Why, why, why!?

The problem with putting expectations on people, places, things is that you instantly set yourself up for disappointment. There is virtually no way for that person to live up to the standards you’ve set in your mind.

And why should they? The expectations are yours, not theirs.

Rather than constantly set yourself up for disappointment, control what you can, support when necessary, and only put expectations on yourself.
