E is for Expectations

E is for Expectations

In today’s alphabet series, I’ve chosen expectations for the letter E. It’s very easy to lower our expectations because we don’t think we have the capability to meet them, but let’s start quashing those limiting beliefs. Who said we couldn’t do it? Let’s prove otherwise! When we lower our standards to make the outcomes more achievable we never dip into our true potential. Having a strong belief that we can make something happen, creates a sense of excitement and energy to help us on our way.

William Clement Stone once said ‘Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star”. If we don’t hit barriers on the way to achieving our expectations of ourselves, we’ve set the bar too low, we may even be acting a little risk averse!! Be focused on where you want to get to.  Visualise a really strong picture of what you want to achieve when we something goes a little awry, don’t be put off, bounce back and try again.  It’s often in those bounces that we gain most learning!  What expectations do you have of yourself?
