Letting Go Of Expectations

Expectations .... what are they? Do you have expectations of what you want or what you want from others around you, or from life in general? I know I do, and there is nothing wrong with having expectations of things to come, but one and including myself here, needs to know that things don't always pan out as expected, but ultimately what ever happens in all situations expected or not, can still lead the way to our desired expectation we started with. Whoa... That is a bit of a tounge twister, but I have seen it ring true in my life and very recently too!!
I have huge expectations of myself and never more so when I was employed and worked as an employee. My expectations of myself included making sure I was as close to perfect as I could get myself, expecting the same from staff, which is a huge mistake. Working much harder than needed rather than stepping back and looking at the big picture as a whole and reaching goals/targets using the classic each step at a time rule for achieving great success, otherwise know as my favourite saying, working smarter.

I am now working at home in a home based business, of which yes, I have great expectations, but I have also rewired my thinking to include the GREAT Expectations along with the fact that I may not reach them how I expect. An example of my thinking; I may get 5 - 10 leads a week, great! Just what I expected, people are following my ads, but I may not get the conversion rate I expect from those leads. I can tell you now and honestly, if this was happening 6 months ago I would be a bit of a mess! (and don't worry I do still expect this, but I also know that like the majority of expectations, it will not be instant!)I know now from all the extra learning that I am doing, alongside all the marketing, social media and sales for my business, that I am on the right track, but I need to let go of the expectations which can limit you to actually reaching great success. I expect the unexpected, which in turn will lead me straight to my GREAT EXPECTATIONS!! I expect no less than success, but I have also let go of expectations to see a clearer and easier path to follow.

I have included a link below from an article by Katie Freiling of which rang true to me and prompted my thoughts today. Follow that to her thoughs and inspritation.
