Quote- "Expectations are just disappointments waiting to happen"
Demi's words- When we spend our time waiting for things to happen we aren't living in the now and we set ourselves up to be let down and end up judging ourselves, which only make us feel worse. It's important to know what you want for your life. At the same time it's also important to be open to how and where those dreams will be fulfilled. The problematic thing about expectations that it builds our hopes up too high. It's wonderful to be a dreamer but it's also important to be grounded and realistic.
Goal- Release your expectations, stay open to the journey, and explore what is right in front of you.
I remember when i was in 7th grade and was in school cheer, i had the highest expectations because i was already in competitive cheer so i thought i had this thing down pat. Little did i know that was the farthest from the truth. It was the cheerleading, i could do that with my eyes closed. It was the girls that made the experience not fun and anxiety provoking. I think it hurt me so much because i had such high expectations and i really thought this would be a great thing for me and the next thing i knew i couldn't wait to get out. I think that if i didn't have as high expectations of myself and the other girls i wouldn't be as upset and confused about why and how things went so downhill. It's important to have confidence in what you're doing but you should leave a little wariness of your thoughts and expectations because you never know what might happen.
