Where is the Bar?

You are probably thinking that I am talking about the social gathering place where individuals gather to indulge in libations. But I am referring to the bar of expectations. We put high expectations on ourselves, partners, children, family etc., and we are often disappointed. How about removing the bar and accept the results.

I realized later in life that my expectations of others were entirely too high and the expectations that I put on myself were unrealistic. So, I removed the bar and I am not as disappointed. My children see me as superwoman, and I have tried to live up to that persona but oh no I am not that lady! I appreciate the compliment, but those types of expectations will drive you crazy. Now imagine how others feel when trying to live up to your high expectations.
