Low expectations are backbreaking. Low expectations keep you from getting after it. They keep you from exerting extraordinary force when it is needed and they keep you from giving all you have to achieve the goal you set out to master.
If you demand little from yourself, you will grow very little (and very slowly!)
If you demand more of yourself, you will grow into something truly great. You will build something bigger than you ever imagined. And you will do all of that while working just as hard as the person who asked little of themself.
When you hold yourself to the highest standard with the greatest expectations, you free yourself from self-sabotage and you inspire the support of your helpers and peers.
There is the old biblical saying from the apostle Paul when he says “He who soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he who soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
Don’t stop short in your expectations, ask more of yourself and you’ll receive more in the end.
