[OWWL Success Tip] Your expectations are killing your possibility

Do your unmet expectations in money, weight, relationships, or career make you depressed, discouraged, or resigned? Your expectations may be killing your possibility.

O.W.W.L. Success Tip: Unmet expectations will kill your possibility, and you will never reach your goals. (Click to tweet)

I recently coached a client who was upset because she didn’t reach her expected goal weight in the expected time frame, even though she dropped over 5 inches and over 6 pounds steadily and consistently and learned how to change her lifestyle in the process. Plus, she has kept off nearly 100 pounds which she lost three years ago. Another client didn’t reach her expected business income goal last year, even though she tripled her previous year’s revenue AND spent less time working.

What do these people have in common? They have unmet expectations. How we deal with unmet expectations will either cause us to quit or will cause us to forge ahead.

If we “assume” or “expect” something, then don’t achieve it (expectation not met), there is disappointment, resignation, and defeat. But if we instead declare a “possibility” for it and don’t achieve it, the possibility is still there. That context shift will support you in continuing your progress to victory.

Here are some questions for you to consider:

• Are you beating yourself up for a past “failure” and therefore expecting faster results now, almost as a punishment?
• Are you rewarding yourself for all your progress and moving in the direction of your commitment?
• Where else in your life do you not acknowledge or reward yourself for your progress and process?
• What will you do to begin acknowledging and celebrating yourself?
