Expectations

Curiosity is a better fuel than expectation.

Do you know the quickest way to ruin your day? Have some expectations.

Want your hair to look a certain way? It doesn’t.

Want your morning to be smooth and without set backs? Good luck.

Want your colleague to give you a compliment on your work? They won’t.

But, if you can open your mind to be curious about what might happen, your ability to adjust and cope tends to be more pliable.

What’s going to happen today? Who knows?

What results are you going to get? We’ll see.

What obstacles are you going to learn to overcome today? Let’s find out.

Why let unrealistic demands set your mood?

The only expectations you should have for yourself is genuine effort to try your best. The results will be whatever they will be. Don’t worry about them.

Worry only about the energy you’re putting out into the world. And that energy is dictated by your willingness to accept success AND failure in any given moment with grace.

Side note: any idea what this Battle Beast and Space Racer homage is based on?
