This brings me to expectations.
What I mean by this is if someone makes a promise that they are going to do something, I kinda expect them to keep it.
Now before you say anything, yes, I do realize that things do come up and that can cancel out the promise.
My issue is when it 'appears' to happen the majority of the time.
Like I said before, I am a thinker. I go and think back to the last few times or whatever the case may be and see if I see a pattern. The problem is that I do.
I don't know, along with everything else, if no one has any expectations anymore. I don't consider my standards high by any means. I figure mine are average like anyone else. The trend I'm noticing though, at least in my corner of the world, is that I am to the point of dropping expectations down to near zero so I won't be disappointed when something doesn't go through.
You know, that's pretty sad, lowering expectations that low. It doesn't give a person anything to achieve for in life. It doesn't give you a set of goals to strive for. Setting them that low just means you are simply in survival mode going from day to day.
Well do you know what? Survival mode SUCKS. I absolutely hate feeling this low, when I know I can and should achieve higher, AND expect the same out of others. I expect the best out of people and they should get the best out of me, not just what gets everyone by.
So I guess this goes out to those people who either have low expectations, or fail to follow through on a consistent basis. The advice is, you need to shape up and raise the bar, or move on. Yeah, I know giving an ultimatum is not the best thing but there is no middle ground where this is concerned. Keep in mind I need to continue to work on this on my end too since it is a two way street, but its pretty simple.
Shape up, or ship out. Simple expectations.
