Expectations can either set you up for success or for failure.

Holding high expectations for yourself can be a great thing…
That means you are working towards something you value.
It’s the good kind of pressure to progress.

When expectations come from an outside source, that’s when it’s the bad pressure.
You may feel like you have to live up to those standards and if you don’t, they will disappointed.

The problem is… A lot of people care more about what people think about them than how they feel about themselves.
It may feel good living up to outside expectations, but unless you’re doing it for you, it’s not really worth it.

You’re worth more than what someone else makes of you.
Expect more of yourself to overcome the expectations of others.
No one else’s should matter when it comes to your own happiness.
