  • No, never to high Just do the best that I can and go on;)(Enjoy life don't worry about it;)!!
  • The problem is usually not that we set our goals too high, but rather that we set them so low that they are sadly all we ever achieve. Aim high, achieve high. You cannot achieve what you do not conceive.
  • The problem with expectations is they cause depression if you can't have them. Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst, and expect nothing. (And be happy with your best, even if it's not quite good enough... As long as you TRY to do your best, and don't just float along...) Hoping for the best. You are shooting for a "soft" goal. You should ALWAYS want the best, but realize that there are times you just won't get there. Prepare for the worst. What's the WORST that could happen. Get ready in your mind, just in case it does. Expect nothing. If you expect the best and it doesn't happen, you will be disappointed, therefore have be in a funk (a mild depression) about it. If you expect the worst and it doesn't happen (something better happens, but not the best), then you will (at least subconsiously) have a small disappointment/depression about being wrong. For example, asking a girl out for the first time... Hope for the best - She says "Yes"... You go out, and have a GREAT time together. Prepare for the worst - She says "no". Expect nothing - Don't expect either. Most likely, she'll either say yes and it will be an ok time, or she'll say no, but not sound like she hates the idea of going out with you. ;-)
  • Probably, but it's what I wish for. I've been told that what I want in a guy is expecting too much, but I fell in love with John Cusack in Say Anything. I know wanting a guy from a movie is too much, but I still swoon. haha
  • Here's what I think it takes to be a happy person..first, you have to know who you are and always be true to that person. Then you need to be sure that your expectations are realistic. For example, I cannot "expect" to be a world famous singer..I have a lousy voice. So, be true to yourself, make sure your expectations are reasonable and achievable, and third..be happy with who you are and be grateful/appreciative for what you've been given in life. You are a kind, loving person..you have much to give and share with others. I see no fault in wanting to be kind and helpful, which you are. If you are in an environment that doesn't appreciate that, how can it be your fault? You cannot change who you are...why should you? You're a great gal! :)
  • I am thinking that I have aimed too low. I am aiming much higher from now on to see if that will make a difference. I can hardly be more disappointed than I am right now, anyway. It's worth a shot.
  • Sometimes my expectations are too high, but they are never too low. In fact, I know what to expect and how much to expect. :P
