b"Chapter 1 UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONSA new job, a new relationship, we've all been there. We are so eager to get things done. All the ideas swirling around in our heads now have the chance to come to life.However, this impatience never ends well. What usually happens in such a scenario is that we start out with unrealistic expectations.We always want to be perfect and never make mistakes. However, that just doesn't happen. Toachievethis,wemustnotforgetthatwemustspendalotof timeand energy. Therefore, we inevitably fall short of expectations.Asourillusionofperfectioncrumbles,ourself-esteemtendstofollowthe movement. So, to save ourselves, we give up. We stop trying, as much as possible so that the next failure doesn't sting so much.If this is something that's been undermining, you then maybe it's time to adopt a longer-term strategy of pursuing success. It should always be remembered that the best things come to those who are patient and above all ready to invest themselves fully.When our purpose is clear, it leads to success and if we are successful, it leads to more options and opportunities. However, when you have more options and opportunities, it leads to diffused effortsandscatteredeffortsunderminingtheveryclaritythatledtoyour success in the first place.So, it is suggested to focus on the most important things. Take the time to evaluate and put into a perspective to focus your energy on the goal to be achieved.It's about making the wisest investment of your time and energy, so you can be most efficient by doing only what's essential.YOU NEED A PLANWe always need a plan. When we're too excited to start something new, we often don't come up with a plan.We go headlong into it thinking we can catch up as we go along, but, from experience, it ends up making us inconsistent. 54Germain Decelles"
