Good post, Judith, and so true. My difficulty is I do expect to be successful at whatever I'm trying to accomplish. However, my timeline for the task rarely matches the reality I'm presented with. 🙂 I've always been impatient with timelines and as I get older the timelines I made at 28 are much more elongated than the timelines I find myself working with at 64. Yet, my brain has not yet accepted that. Therein lies the expectations problem.
Loved your Staying Sane in a Crazy World book and recommend it to lots of people. I've been very slow at reading your Sacred Women's Circle series, but hope to finally finish the series by the end of this summer. Just hard to find time for pleasure reading these days. Thanks for keeping up this blog. It is always a light of positive thinking in my day, even if I don't take the time to post.
Thanks Maggie, One of the gifts I've given myself is permission to rebuild an awesome personal growth library originally in audio cassettes. Dr. Denis Waitley's programs were favorites and I also went through training to be an approved instructor for his Psychology of Winning course. There are 10 traits and I'm using each of them as a catalyst for my blog posts over the next 10 weeks. I first listened to Denis' POW in the very early 1980's. He has a list of 10 things you can do to enhance the trait he talks about. Listening to is so many years later (I've not had a car with a cassette player in it for almost 20 years) I'm pleased to see how many of those suggestions I've internalized.
And thanks for the recommendation of Staying Sane in a Crazy World! I truly do appreciate that.
