Expectation

We set expectation, either from ourselves or others, a standard that we set in our heart waiting to be met. By presetting such expectation, we eventually get only 2 results: either feeling proud or disappointed.

I am sure no one's aim is to expect disappointment.

We all want achievement, the exciting and uplifting as well as rewarding one.

But come to think of it: is there any way to help us with greater chance to achieving that?

I'd say yes. And my answer is: it lies in the expectation we set.

Set the expectation to the degree where is a little beyond our present ability. Why not set a sky high one so that we can make a very big leap? Of course this is totally up to different people's aim.

I like to see gradual growth. It gives me a push for me to move out from my comfort zone yet still achievable in near future. It is very much like baby steps - progressing slowly.

Consistency is virtue.

It is always important to master how to walk before run, but must always maintain the pace in pursuing a better state so that one does not stay stagnant.

Attracts the force and opportunities that allows one to expand and grow by not losing one's true self. When expectation meets real potential and effort, they are like a beautiful song painting the sky with colors.

Expectation serves as a reminder, a monitor that keeps us going. Thus we must be sure: where and how we want to become.

It isn't only the result that matter, the journey too.
