On Frustrations and Expectations
Believe me if I say that It is normal to have frustrations in life, especially, if you are running a business. These are normal instances wherein emotions would kick you in the ass and really, and i mean reaaaaallly make you uneasy. Frustrations may lead to depression and that my friend ,you would not want to experience.
Expectations on another note will also be a part of your life. You would expect some things and most of the time, it is always an expectation that would be in favor for you. This is also not healthy, based on my experience. For every expectations that is turned down, there is a consequence of being frustrated. Now, are you getting my drift?
It seems that expecting something would be really anticipating with the results based on actions, but expecting BIG can really turn a positive thinking and attitude to a sinking boat overnight. The moral lesson here is always be prepared for the unexpected. As easy as it may sound, this is very difficult to handle. In life there are always two sides - Failure and success, and you should really try anticipating both and really also EXPECTING that the opposite MIGHT actually happen.
To summarize my rant here:
moderate Expectations (OK)
Big Expectations > can lead to frustrations > can lead to depression
It is not bad to aim high, but to expect a positive outcome always is not really healthy for business.. and in life.

You must set realistsic expectation to yourself as your goals because sometimes, if you set the bar too high, it’s hard to achieve it and you would just get frustrated when you didn’t achieve it.
