Expectations

The word expectations.

When I think of expectations I think of anticipation.  Running a scenario through my head, I envision all the different things that might happen and then I try and figure out the most likely result based upon what I know at the time.

I don't like to waste time worrying about things I have no control over. Back in my AA days, there was a saying that people used quite frequently that made sense. They said you can plan but don't project the outcome.  Projecting outcomes just leads to frustration and anger.

These days I use my life changing formula E + R = O which means an event plus my reaction to the event equals the actual outcome.   If I can try and be positive about everything that hits my life, understanding that it is all a learning experience that makes me grow and become a better, stronger person; then no matter what the experience, it has been a good one.

This week is going to be super busy for me and I am expecting to get a lot done. Hope your expectations come to fruition as well!
