Setting Expectations for Yourself - Dad Log - Stardate 09062018

Dad Logs - A Glimpse Into the Mind of a Broadcaster

Today I want to talk about setting expectations for yourself. As a Mixer Partner, I'm afforded and presented with many opportunities I've not had previously, and it's easy to set unrealistic expectations for myself and for my community. With the Destiny Forsaken launch, I think I had some "delusions of grandeur" if you will, and had set an expectation in my own mind that it would be a springboard for the channel and community. When it fell flat, I found myself in a little bit of a rough headspace. My encouragement for you, is to "plan for the worst, hope for the best" when it comes to opportunities that present themselves. Look at every opportunity as a way to possibly accelerate your channel and community in the right direction, but don't get your hopes too high, because that is what will lead to disappointment and negative thoughts. Set yourself up for success, and don't set unrealistic expectations for yourself. God bless!
