The Problem with Expectations - TPS584

In this episode, I discuss the problems caused by unrealistic expectations with an emphasis on how subconscious expectations affect your life outcomes. You will also learn more about how habitual emotions are the creative force behind your life stories.

Highlights

• Subconscious expectations that result from past experiences can influence our relationships and financial decisions.
• You can learn more about your expectations by recognizing patterns that might lead to disappointment and learning from your mistakes.
• I give an example of relationship expectations. Also, examples are given about f how habitual emotions are the creative force behind our life stories and how this relates to expectations.
• All of this is happening on the subconscious level.
• If you have an expectation that a relationship won’t last, you will make decisions and behave in ways that make sure it doesn’t last.
• Once you recognize a pattern, ask yourself what emotion the  pattern stimulates for you.
• People who are overly optimistic often make bad financial decisions.
• Experiences that don’t have happy endings are not bad, they are just what’s happening.
• You can never really know what someone else is thinking.
• It is best not to have expectations about how other people are going to behave.
• If you expect a relationship to fill in the emptiness in your life, that can lead to disappointment.
• Nothing can be perfect and the more tolerant you become of other people, the easier your life will be.
• It’s okay to make mistakes and not do things perfectly.
