My last post was about expectations. This one is about the lack thereof.

As long as I can remember, I would consider myself an optimist.

I’m not sure if it’s age catching up with me, but along with that optimism sometimes accompanies anxiety. Adding to that, I often find I base current situations on past experiences – what happened once is sure to happen again, usually for the negative.

I’ve learned that this is not setting me up for success. One difficult situation does not mean it will repeat. 

Every day is a chance for things to be different. For me to be different. For the result to be different.

I’m trying to be cognizant of not building things up before they’ve happened – easier said than done, but you won’t really know how things will turn out until you get there.

Live in the moment and look at the glass half full. Let tomorrow worry about itself.
