Raise your expectations
It can be tempting to lower your expectations when things are
not going your way. Yet the most realistic response is not
to lower your expectations, but in fact to raise them
higher.<P>
It may seem that lowering your expectations so they're more
in line with your reality would protect you from
disappointment. Yet lowering your expectations is sure to
bring on even more disappointment.<P>
If you're disappointed with the results you're getting, it's
not because your expectations are too high. It's because
those expectations are not high enough to pull you
forward.<P>
Raise your expectations to the point where they become so
meaningful and compelling that you cannot help but fulfill
them. Choose those expectations that will drive you in each
moment to do what must be done to reach them.<P>
When the going gets rough, the answer is not to give up on
your dreams. The answer is to grab on to those dreams, and
to put them front and center in your life.<P>
Set your expectations high, connect solidly and consistently
with them, and those expectations will give a positive,
effective direction to your life. Expect the very best, and
let those expectations drive you to live out your most
cherished dreams.<P>
