We've all done it. We get excited about something or someone and get let down. Intention and expectation are two very different things. Intention is putting it "out there" and letting God do the rest. Expectation is putting it "out there" expecting a certain outcome.
I know for me, I've been let down by people, situations, and myself. This especially goes for me when I'm trying to change a behavior and slip back into old behavior. I beat myself up because if I can't control my own actions what control do I have?
I'm working on being more conscience of my own behavior but I'm human and I slip from time to time. My expectations of myself are just as devastating when I let myself down.
This is something I'm working on and haven't mastered. It's a daily workout on my mind and practice will never make perfect- at least for me. Practice means I'm getting better but I'll never be perfect. I can live with that.
