Keith Craft: What you expect out of yourself, you direct toward yourself.
What you expect out of yourself, you direct toward yourself.
The thought behind the quote
The best use of your expectation is on yourself. It is so easy for us to expect more out of others than we expect out of ourselves.
Expectation is a positive thing when we expect more out of ourselves than we do others. It is taking what we would like to happen to us and making that happen for others.
Read the full thought
My friend Zig Ziglar said, 'What you make happen for others, you make happen for yourself.' You actually attract what you make happen for another, like a magnet to yourself. Expectation is a negative when we expect more out of others than we do out of ourselves. Rather than attracting what we want, we repel it. Expectation is born out of hope that things will get better. When our Expectation is on ourselves rather than others we shield ourselves from disappointment.
Today, your life can get better, because your hope is not misplaced on the Expectation of others, but is grounded in your taking action based on what your Expectation is.
