I Expect This Of Myself

Expecting big results for ourselves is great—it’s proof of our ambition.

But expecting big results and thinking that we won’t be happy if we don’t achieve them makes no sense.

I’m an ambitious person, and when I was 19 I fell into this trap.

Fortunately, we can learn from our mistakes, right?

So, let’s be ambitious and realistic.

Now, take a break from LinkedIn for a couple of minutes and ask yourself:

“Is the goal that I have in mind ambitious and realistic at the same time?”

A lack of ambition and realism can make us depressed.

A mix of ambition and realism makes us excited. *

* Do you agree? Have you ever faced expectations that were too high?
