#144 Dealing with What Gets in the Way – Assumptions and Expectations

from The Still Space Podcast · host Mary Lee Gannon

You aren’t human if you haven’t made assumptions or had expectations. Everyone has them. An assumption is a foregone conclusion made without factual supporting evidence. An expectation is a wish with entitlement. The lessons here? Both lack patience, self-awareness, wisdom, and are deadly to your peace. So, what do we do with them to stop the happiness hemorrhage when things don’t go according to plan? In this episode we talk about how to recognize the fictional stories you tell yourself, the harm they do to your peace, and how they feed into expectations – the ultimate thief of your happiness and closeness with your family.
