Episode 61: Adjusting Your Expectations to Propel Yourself Forward

from Running to Myself · host Trish Stanton

💬 Episode Summary We often assume that if something is right, it will be easy. But what happens when the right path turns out to be hard? In this episode, Trisha shares how adjusting her expectations, rather than abandoning her goals, completely changed her perspective. She tells the story of selling her farmhouse to move to San Antonio, a season that proved the path can be right and still be incredibly difficult. Through honest reflection and practical tools, you’ll learn how to stop being surprised by hard things and start using them as opportunities to grow. 🌿 Key Takeaways Ease and peace aren’t the same thing. Most discouragement comes from unmet expectations. The goal doesn’t have to change—your expectations might. Hard isn’t punishment; it’s preparation. Faith doesn’t remove the struggle—it carries you through it. 🧭 Try This Name what you expected. Write what’s actually true now. Replace “This shouldn’t be happening” with “This is growth.” Reaffirm your goal. Keep showing up. 💡 Quote to Remember “The path isn’t wrong—it’s just harder than you thought. Keep going.”
