How are you doing, Friend?
Having high expectations is good as long as they don’t come at the cost of being authentic. So, are expectations good or bad?
When you expect too much of yourself, you can never achieve an
authentic life. If you are always chasing after some ideal standard, you
won’t be able to appreciate who you are in the moment. An inauthentic
life is never profoundly satisfying.
However, if you don’t expect enough of yourself, you also won’t be
able to achieve an authentic life. You’ll be resigned to your
shortcomings. You’ll assume that the way you are today is as good as it
gets.
