We often find ourselves disappointed with other people.
This is a common and constant experience.
There are times when we set realistic expectations for people.
Realistic expectations would be expecting somebody to treat you with respect or expecting somebody to follow the law and not break into your home and steal all your stuff.
You know what I'm saying?
Those are realistic, normal, healthy expectations to have.
And there are times when people don't meet those realistic expectations.
They stoop really low and they disappoint you in a big way.
And when that happens, it's very clear that this is not a person that you want to be around.
And it's very clear that it's their fault.
Right?
They couldn't meet a realistic expectation.
That shouldn't even be a question.
Handling that situation can be very challenging.
But it's very clear who's at fault, right?
The person who didn't meet the realistic expectation.
But there are times when we become disappointed in people.
They didn't meet our expectation.
But we have to ask ourselves, did we set the expectation too high?
Did they even have a chance to meet our expectations?
