RE: Am working on ... - QC Prompt #77

Woww I didn't know many of us had the same problem. But one thing I don't get. So, you lower your expectations and give them space to grow, which totally helps them, but how does that help you?

Like, how will you be able to trust them?

Lowering my expectations has helped me guard my heart from hurt, most times when people do something somewhere in my head am not surprised anymore. Am trying to have that mindset that people will always be people and you can't get everything you want from them. There are some friends at the moment that I can say to an extent I know what they are capable of doing, no surprises me anymore

Mmm ok let's see if I understood correctly. Let's say I expect people to give 100% to the things they do, so, are you telling me that I should lower my expectations and expect them to only give 70%?

And if that's true, that's where I have a lot of problems, because why would I settle for someone who only gives 70% if I can get someone who gives 100%?

I think lowering expectations is not for me 😂😂😂 or I'm not understanding it at all.
