Just read this from a respected coach & wonder what you think?<\/em> “Although high expectations do occasionally lead to high performance, as often as not they lead to a sense of failure when our results don’t live up to our fantasies. Yet hope – the belief in the possibility that tomorrow can be better than today – carries with it the energy and inspiration to make it so.”<\/strong> Well, it depends on what you consider relevant in your life. If you divide life into Success\/Failure – Good\/Bad – Right\/Wrong, then it is valid. In fact, it seems to be a balanced statement that considers both sides of the equation: Uphill IS<\/strong> Downhill. Actually, I’ve learned so many things about myself (and others!) while improving my life, I wonder if the journey isn’t really the objective. I know so many people who won’t set goals for fear of being disappointed but they are happy to live in hope and believe that things will get better.<\/em> Again, if your thinking is shaped such that the only reality is Win\/Lose – Right\/Wrong, then it is<\/span> correct! So, do we set high expectations & work towards them & risk disappointment or is it better to live in hope? Does living in hope really provide enough energy & inspiration to make improvements?<\/em> Do you see what’s happening because of the first premise! Now we ask questions BASED on that thinking. As you can see, these questions are self answering. Experience<\/em><\/strong> is a major criteria in the whole equation. Respected coaches should be taken with a grain of salt.
