Expectations
If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. (Michael Jordan, former professional basketball player)
Some children were told they couldn’t expect to achieve much when they grew up. They were never encouraged to believe that they could do better in the future. Others thrived as adults because positive direction and hope were instilled in them while they were young. Wherever you are today, don’t listen to negative comments. Determine to do better than expected.
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
