I expect alot of myself. So much sometimes that it get's a little too overwhelming. No one to blame but myself for that of course. And when things don't play out how I expect them too, it can be a real letdown. But I'm really trying, and learning to let go of all that. I am one person. Capable of only so much. Not saying that I stop working hard, and avoid continuing to learn and grow. But I have to keep reminding myself to drop unrealistic expectations.
There was an article in the Globe & Mail yesterday about racing and a little on expectations.

Funny when you drop expectations how things fall into place, and life is so much more positive. Remenising about my little Xterra adventure, and races, and how I let go of the expectation for Xterra (which took a bit). Then went out, and had so much fun. Don't get me wrong, it was still hard work, and a struggle, mentally & physically, but the end result was different for that race. My dear, sweet husbands' comment to me last night was that was the happiest he had ever seen me after a race. Huh. (But it also helps that I managed to place.. he he)
This goes for trying to figure my business out as well. All it really comes down to is continuing to build experience, and grow my education. But keep it realisitc. This all takes time, and patience.
Lose the expectation that all will play out specifically as planned. Funny what happens then...
