Confounding Expectations
Published: Sat, 10/29/16
with what people expected of me.
I don't recommend this as a way to grow,
or get what you want. If your motivation is
to "show them," you'll always be a slave to
the approval of others.
So even if you "win" you'll always be
looking over your shoulder to see what
others are thinking.
And if you lose, you'll be waiting for
someone to say, "I told you so."
You were put here to do something, maybe
more than one thing.
I don't know what it is. Good chance you
don't know what it is either.
You've probably been living someone else's
version of your life.
It's OK. It's how most of us have been conditioned.
And most of us will never break out of that spot.
There are going to be people in your life who say
things, do things, communicate in subconscious
ways you aren't enough.
That who you are, that what you do...
needs to fit into the box.
That's their problem.
How you choose to respond is your problem.
And your challenge. And your opportunity.
One shot. One life.
You are strong enough, smart enough, resilient
enough... good enough to cut a new deal.
How do I know?
You're reaing this. That's how.
You don't have to change your entire life in
one shot.
You can simply start by deciding you are worth
taking your life seriously enough to figure out
what you want.
And then building a structure to help you get it.
The world will respond to the force of
your commitment.
Confound Expectations. Starting with the ones
you have for yourself.
Have A Magnficent Day,
Larry
