I strive to set fair expectations for myself.
If I am working my hardest and still feel far off from my goals, I do not worry.
I simply revise my plan.
If I work half-heartedly and procrastinate, yet I still meet my expectations, then I know it’s time to push myself a little harder.
I make changes when I feel like I am stuck in a rut. I make changes when I need to spice up my life.
As I learn and grow, there are new things that I want to pursue.
My expectations reflect who I want to be.
Because nothing is set in stone, I reflect often and evaluate the path of my life.
I have the power to change the direction of my steps at any moment.
As I mature, I allow myself to make changes to my goals.
When I erase something from my plans, I leave it behind me.
I refrain from second guessing.
There are things beyond my control that may influence my ability to meet the expectations I have set for myself.
When this happens, I am accommodating.
As long as I arrive at my desired destination under good means, I do not obsess about how I get there.
I have an attitude of forgiveness toward myself.
I treat myself with the same compassion that I treat others.
I give myself room to be creative and spontaneous.
If I find that I am striving for something simply because of societal norms, I immediately wipe it from my list of expectations.
Expectations are not rigid laws that I must live by.
Expectations are in my life as checkpoints to guide me in my journey.
