Boyfriend cheats on you and you get mad every time?
Practical choice: Leave him.
“but I love him and we have so much history that I want to stay with him”
Emotional choice: Accept he does it and you now have to manage your emotional expectations for a relationship to continue.
Have advice for someone but they don’t want to hear it?
Practical choice: Drop it.
“but this advice is the best thing for them and they should hear it!”
Emotional choice: Manage your expectation that all people have to have your advice. They don’t.
Your boss overworks you and you feel he is rude to you?
Practical advice: Quit.
“but in this economy, I can just stop making money, I have to feed my family.”
Emotional choice: Change your expectation from “my boss is supposed to be nice to me” to “he’s a jerk and I will not let him take control of my emotions”
Insight funda...........................
Choose to stop getting hit by the ball knowing that there may be consequences, or choose to manage your expectations because it’s never about lowering your expectations. It’s about managing them.
