OVEREXPECTING

To the overexpecter, enough is never enough. There is always room for improvement, always something to criticize. The overexpecter uses words like ought and should and loves sentences that include much and more. To them, work harder and reach higher are the rule rather than the exception. When you are around them, you get the distinct impression that no matter how hart you have tried, you have not measured up, and what is worse- you never will. They do not say that but the meaning oozes out of their frowns and glares. Sooner or later, your motivation is sapped as demands and expectations replace excitement with guilt. The killer is that final moment when you realize you have become a weary slave of the impossible.
Be aware, when we think over our tendency toward overexpecting, 6 words help a lot:
Honesty, Reality, Acceptance, Tolerance, Acknowledgement, and Encouragement.
