When you begin a conversation with me, already expecting me to be alert, energized, and funny, I’ll meet your expectations… sometimes.
When you ask a person to head up a project, already expecting me to be as passionate about it as you are, she’ll meet your expectations… sometimes.
When you pray that his heart will change and that I’ll finally figure it all out, he’ll meet your expectations… sometimes.
When you start talking to you “unsaved” co-workers expecting them to “convert,” they’ll meet your expectations… sometimes.
so….
What happens when I don’t meet your expectations? What happens when they never change? What if they never get it? Will you bail and move on? Will you try nailing your expectations to someone else? Is that what relationships are about?
