The Power Of Expectation: Why "Don't Get Your Hopes Up" Is The Worst Advice To Listen To

A life spent playing small is no life at all. When you invest the minimal amount in something, you can expect minimal returns as the result. The people who tell you that you shouldn't dream 'too big' (if your dreams aren't big, don't credit yourself with calling it a dream. Just call it a 'by the way'.) are definitely people who are living poor to mediocre lives.

They live safely, far away from the fringes for fear of falling off the edge. The problem with this is that you then become stuck on the same level throughout your life; you have no reason to climb higher if you've never been to the depths. If you never even attempt to climb, how can you assume to know where your limits are?

When you raise the bar for yourself on every single endeavour you undertake, the first few times you may fail. This is normal, it takes time for your mind to adjust to the new baseline for accomplishment you've set for it. But once the dissatisfaction sets in; your mind tears down the barriers that once dictated your level of accomplishment and begins plotting a path to solutions for your new expectations. Always remember that placing big bets allows you to reap big rewards and small ones; small rewards. 

If you expect to only go a small way up the mountain, that's exactly where you'll land up and the saddest part about that is that you'll be satisfied with that. You won't have any reason to go any further; you'll grow comfortable in being mediocre and then you'll perpetuate that poisonous advice "Don't get your hopes up". That phrase is exactly what is keeping the next Nelson Mandela or Donald Trump under the rug; it is the belief that when you play small there's a smaller capacity for pain. Pain molds your character, don't hide from it; embrace the lessons it can teach you! The most pain you will ever feel in your life will come near the twilight of your life and you wake up one day where you realize that you wasted your life placing low expectations for yourself. That is the ultimate pain; unlike any other that has or will ever exist is the pain of regret.

Raise the bar for yourself and you raise your worth. It forces you to change and learn the lessons that you need to become a true champion. It is never too late to change; do it today, don't dare waste another second with the bar pressed against the top of your head. Raise it to the sky!
