Expectations

"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality"
Ralph Marston

What do you expect your performance to be like? Do you judge your performance according to how you performed yesterday, or how you have performed other tasks which may or may not be similar to the one you are contemplating performing now? If you base your expectation of how well you will perform on how well you have performed in the past, that guarantees that you will perform the same way. There will be no growth in your abilities.

Do you expect yourself to perform well regardless of the situation? If so, you have developed a standard of performance that you always hold yourself to. Then you can raise your level of performance to meet that expectation. Having high expectations of your performance will increase your energy and motivation too. Whatever your expectation of yourself, you will be motivated to do whatever you need to do in order to live up to your expectations. Always expect highly of yourself, then do whatever is required for you to prove you are indeed that good at what you do.
