My cause for reflection lately.
What I expect of myself, what others expect of me, what I expect of others.
What's really fair from all three?
I'm still pondering...
And maybe a bit too much on the emotional side.
I wonder things like:
Who am I letting down?
How much should be expected from me?
Do I continue to expect the best from others even when I've been let down?
Is there any way a balance can be reached... not becoming a total pessimist, but not remaining the eternal optimist that is disappointed more often than I'd care to be?
Do I have the right to expect anything from anyone... and who?
And maybe most importantly... do I have too high or too low expectations of myself?
