I once read somewhere that:
Disappointment = Expectations / Reality
Today I finally realized the profound truth inherent within this equation. To put it simply, I have come to the understanding that my self-expectations are going fuck me over if I do not exercise restraint in the near future.
Many of you are probably thinking “bitch please, stop complaining” but come on, I’m sure most of you are, or have been, a victim of your personal expectations. So what happens when you jump and miss the mark?
Well, I’ve been talking to a few people over the past 2 days, as trial papers find their way back to their respective owners. Some have expressed their unbearable disappointment, and one person even confessed to being so angry at their mark that they stayed up until 3am that night making notes for that subject.
That illustrates two things:
1) Disappointment increases exponentially with self-expectation
2) Expectations can be a powerful driver for individual success
Yes, the paradoxical nature of self-expectations.
But it’s alright! As long as you keep your expectations in check, disappointment too shall fall. J And that’s my reality check for the day. No point in inflicting unnecessary pain upon yourself.
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE:
BTW I’ve realized how I make stupid noises when it’s silent. You know was I was little my dad used to think I was retarded because I was constantly cross-eyed like THIS >_< and made stupid sounds when I was confused. I guess some things just don’t change.
