283 - When was the last time you failed to live up to someone's expectations?

We've all done it.

We felt we had to live up to someone's expectations.

It started with our parents and siblings.

Then our school teacher and classmates.

Then we started holding others to our expectations.

Were the expectations realistic and valid?

It never seems to end.

Now we have our boss and colleagues who expect things for us.

We hold them to our expectations as well.

It's an infinite cycle.

How beneficial is it to hold someone to our expectations, or to be held to those of others?

By now we have all lost count of how many times we failed to live up to the expectations of others.

When was the last time you failed to live up to someone's expectations?
