High expectations are the key to everything. ~ Sam Walton
Occasionaly, I goof, and use the same quote twice. Today was one of those days. However, my mix up kind of works with everything that’s going on in my life right now. I did use this quote once before, but I never wrote a blog post about it. When I was picking my quotes last night, I had a sneaking suspicion that I’d used it before, but I didn’t check because a lot of other things that were going on yesterday. All of that kind of ties in to high expectations.
High expectations are a good thing. You want to set the bar high, no matter what you are doing. For my quotes, I have a spreadsheet I use to keep track of my quotes along with the date that I used them. Obviously, repeat quotes happen, and that’s what I want to talk about today. I have high expectations for my quotes, to NOT use the same quote over again. I did, and now, I have a choice, I can beat myself up over it for messing up, or, I can accept the fact that it happened, and move on.
High expectations are good, but kicking yourself because you didn’t meet or exceed your expectations is not. So yeah, set that bar as high as you possibly can, and aim to clear it, but if you don’t, pick yourself up and move forward from there, and of course, keep trying.
