I’ll try my darndest to keep it in today…
I had expectations for the new job that when my new employer told me he’d pay me commissions against a salary, that there would be enough traffic to warrant a good sales job. I was wrong. And it has already become very difficult getting through the day.
Principle? Trust God
I developed expectations (long ago, this is not new) that if I were reasonably mature and acted in a sober manner with a partner in my life, i.e. like an adult, that I might receive needed support from a loved one when the time arose. I was wrong there also. And that has become a difficult situation to get through each day too.
Principle? Trust God
Thankfully – Liz B. taught me (and many of us) to make the 3rd and 11th Steps my decision makers each day!
K.I.S.S.!!! Let Go…
Aw crap!!!!!! Thats too bad man, I too put expectations on people, places, things, and sometimes I really get disappointed. But after talking it out with some of those very people {i.e. Pat D., Bob and mostly our friend Joan} the thing “I” came away with is that how realistic were my expectations? AND WAS I GOING TO A WELL THAT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, and no matter how hard I tried that well would never be full, and in my case if I wanted it full I was to bring the water.
