“What exactly are your expectations?”
While this question first surfaced around a personal relationship, it seeps everywhere. It becomes part of planning. It becomes my goal setting process.
There is the beauty of self-reflection.
I am forced to ask myself what my goals are. What do I want?
Lately I have been entirely too philosophical. School has allowed me to swim in murky waters. My lines have blurred, everything is reality, but only my construction of it. Last summer I jokingly spoke to a friend describing us as method actors. Now I don’t joke as much. We are asked to brand ourselves. Who is brand Beth? What do I consistently promise over time?
That is a lot to think about. I learn new things about myself everyday. I look back and think about how much I have changed over the years and the people that know me here, know a different Beth than the ones who know me there. And that’s not even including division by geography.
I am always seeking something. Always expecting something.
But this is nothing new. This is something we all go through. It is part of the human cognition.

Hi. i was just having this conversation with a friend who is an account manager. Apparently the number one skill that makes you a great account manager is "managing expectations". we joked a lot about how that should be the number one skill of life.
