Great Expectations

STOP, With The Self Rejection

Author’s own photo

No, this piece is not related to Charles Dickens’s novel- Great Expectations. It could be, In case you’ve read it. So I’ll admit, I haven’t, yet!

It’s a question, Do you have expectations?

I do.

In relation, to myself -

What I expect from myself, I try to use it to inspire me, to serve me. To make me alter behavior, To live a richer life. When I say rich, I hope you know I don’t mean just money-wise but ya that’s included.

Is my behavior always in alignment with my goals? No.

I am disappointed with my performance from time to time. And guess what that’s alright, you know why? Because it’s in my control. I can change that. I can hold someone accountable, me. I have ownership over, me. I have the right to demand better from me for me.

I decide what I think I deserve and I decide to set my expectations up. Knowing that I could let myself down and when I do I learn and alter the path instead of dropping the goal.

In relation, to others -

I am aware and I have been told it’s best not to expect anything from others. But I still have them, they might not be ‘ Great Expectations’, but somewhere in the back of my mind, they whisper.

I have realized having silent expectations in secrecy doesn’t serve me.

Sometimes, I talk myself out of vocalizing what I want, what I desire. Thinking how it won’t happen, how they won’t do that for me. I self reject.

I am happier when I am vocal about my expectations, even if they are not met. I am happy for having said them out loud.

I ask again, Do you have expectations? Do you self-reject?

We accept the love we think we deserve. Don’t be afraid to raise the bar.

Please know the above questions are rhetorical and tomorrow is a brand new day. Have a Waow one.
