Have you ever thought about how much power your own expectations has over you?
Expectations are obstacles we build from past experiences; bars that we construct for ourselves and place over the windows of opportunity. Expectations are self-limiting thoughts that gives us a way out.
We know what we have been able to do previously, so we expect something similar now. If we live up to our expectations, we feel accomplished. However, on the contrary, if we do not live up to them, we add an unnecessary pressure to our lives.
Imagine a world where you went beyond or completely abandoned your expectations. Do not expect a certain metric of your ability, prepare to eliminate them instead. Prepare to go farther.
It does not just go hand in hand with running. Apply the same thinking pattern to other ambitions or even every life, and watch them unfold. You can do a lot more than what you give yourself credit for.
Incredible things will happen when you decide to just experience instead... and you will be surprised to see just how much power both comfort and culture has over you!
