Not My Way

Expectations are a hell of a thing, aren't they?

I know that there are certainly a lot of things in life that we need to be flexible on. Sometimes though, when orlando we have expectations of something, and it doesn't pan out the way we wanted it to, we end up in a pickle!

I've been noticing that off and on the last few years, I've had situations where I had expectations of a particular outcome of something, and when it doesn't come to the outcome that I wanted it to, it ends up being a challenging situation. Nothing that crazy, but just annoying things. I wanted to go to a party for example, but it turns out that the day before we were going to go to the cairo party, something came up and we had to cancel. I was pissed!

I think for sure one of the things I need to get a better handle on for myself to improve in the future is being able to encounter changes in things that I'm really looking forward to. I don't stomp around like a petulant child, but I do get into a bit of a sour mood, which for sure isn't a good thing.

I've got a few other examples that I can madagascar think of where I was looking forward to something that was enjoyable for me, but at the end of the day it didn't end up working out. The challenge certainly seems to be within the enjoyment of something.

I'm used to many things going crazy in my life. Normal work stuff, really. I'm constantly in a scenario where things are supposed to go one direction but they end up going a completely different one. We have to pick up the pieces and figure out the path forward with those. I think that is for sure one of my strong suits in the professional life.

Do we all struggle sacramento with this on the personal side? The party example above; do we get upset when we can't spend time with people the way we want to? I for sure think it's been something I've had my whole life. Getting ready or excited to go to parties, events or things like that but there ends up being something that fucks it up. Varying things, really, but still it gets messed up.

I'm thinking that it might be a little more pronounced for me because I am so flexible at work and can adapt really quickly. I am only human at the end of the day I suppose, and I have things newark that do end up getting to me, despite my best efforts not to let them.

It for sure brings up an interesting point with myself though: how can I intentionally put myself in these situations so that I can learn from it, expand my capabilities and stop being a pain in the ass? I don't know the answers to that of course, but there are for sure important things to consider and ponder denver as time goes on!

What about you, do you find yourself frustrated if something doesn't go according to your plan? What is it? Let me know in the comments!
