Have you ever said this to yourself?
I have.
I remember, if you’ll allow me, the time I heard myself detonate the words, “You’re a failure.”
Immediately, I fell speechless.
What have I just said?
From where would something so sinister hail?
It’s clear we’re dealing with some weighty stuff, here. Best keep your head on a swivel.
If you know me, you know this is my go-to.
“What if?”
Once you realize that you will forever be disappointing somebody at some time, it gets a little easier. Not that we’re taking ourselves off the hook. We’re not, Actually, we’re putting ourselves further on.
Disappointment is what’s left after expectations and reality collide.
How clear are your expectations?
Of others. Of yourself.
Cloudy conditions often contribute, if not cause, calamity.
Amen?
So let’s just acknowledge that we’re a bunch of disappointments, okay?
Now we can all go back to proving to the world that we’re not.
