when are expectation TOO high?
When are expectatons too high? It's a question i am positive most of us overlook. Expectations a simple word yet hard to comprehend. The word is easy to understand but the meaning is priceless. take the root of the word expectations....expect is a word that means waiting for. Expectations are i believe something so overlooked yet so dangerous. its a weapon that we all have and dont know how to use!
I'll answer this question for you. I'll gladly do it, Expectations are too high when we realize we have a feeling of guilt or dissapointment; two feelings that most teenagers can't handle. Diassapointment is something we all learn to live with, when our parents wont let us purchase something we deperately want its dissapointing ot when we get a bad mark on the quiz you studied extra hard for that too is also dissapointing. Dissapointment that we earn ourselves is a whole other issue!
Setting your expectations gives you dissapointment you need to find a range where you dont come out of a situation that leaves you with unsettling feelings. Setting your expectations too high for the most times leaves you with feeling you did not want, but on the other hand setting your expectations too low result in your feeling awesome becuase things turned out better than you hoped for and that isnt always the case becuase next time you set them low the same thing will not happen possibly.
I've learned to find my range not to set my expectation to low nor to high, keep an open mind, hope for the best. I have learned that nothing is impossible and great things may happen but things can crash and burn too. I have learned to think things threw and not always expect great things but to think that things mostly turn out right in the end.

P.S-- This is a new writing style I tired to write this as if it were a column or perhaps an article. Comment on what you think. Personally I didnt think it was too bad, But it comes to a point where you repeat yourself and start to babble.
