Alright, welcome to episode 299. Hello, my friend welcome to a fresh new episode of new mindset who this thank you for listening.

Thank you for supporting me and thank you for all the great feedback from last episode which was about my take on what I think are the four types of relationships.

You can go back and listen to that if you haven't already. It's also it's very cool for me of course to be able to give my thoughts on a subject and then have so many people respond and so many people say,

I feel that that's so relevant that's so true in my life like it's cool and it really affirms to me really my purpose in life which is to remind people, remind myself that no one is ever truly alone in whatever you're going through whether it's good or bad or somewhere in between.

You know that the experiences we have in life are all much more familiar than we think the human experience is much more familiar than to everyone than we think we have a lot in common.

So thank you for that thank you for listening thank you for the feedback and thank you for subscribing because next episode is episode 300 and I'm going to do something very special for that so make sure you're subscribed.

It means a lot so today I've got a shorter episode I will be shorter I promise you that because it's just a simple thought I had recently and it's on this idea of standards versus expectations in life.

The too long didn't read headline here is that there is a way in life in my mind to spare yourself from stressing over bullshit bullshit people bullshit experiences circumstances you name it there's a way to do this and it really just comes down to resetting your expectations in life in a good way in a really good way not lowering the bar but resetting them in a really powerful way and the other day I saw a quote that said it said the key to set it up.

The key to success is to have high standards and low expectations and at first I saw that I was like that's pretty wack like I don't like that phrase at all low expectations like who walks around in life saying they have low expectations like that sounds really really lame really really negative really like low energy right to be like I just yeah whatever it is what it is I expect the worst that I've everyone and everything like no no no I obviously don't.

And you probably don't either right it sounds lame but then I got the thinking about it and I kind of had this light bulb moment that I want to share with you briefly on this episode you know I saw that quote and I was like well let's think about this standards expectations what is the difference

because I talk a lot about standards on the podcast right but I realized that in life the times where you're disappointed the times where you're frustrated where you're angry where you know people are

disappointing in your job sucks and you can't find your groove and circumstances are horrible whatever often times the frustration you're feeling it comes down to the expectations you have right it comes from going into a situation

having a certain expectation of how you wanted to turn out and then shocker it doesn't turn out that way and voila you're upset you're frustrated you're whatever negative emotion you're feeling it's you have an expectation and then you have an outcome

and life is life and rarely do they ever align like you match with someone on a dating app and you're like this is going to be great they're they're going to be exactly who I think they are this is going to be fantastic

but then you meet them and they fall very short right maybe they're literally short they're shorter than you thought they would be whatever kidding but you have

expectation you have outcome or your new job right you got a new job you're stoked you got the offer you start the job you can't wait to join up and

synergize and shift the paradigm and innovate or whatever but then you get to the job itself and it's a toxic culture it's terrible you're like shit I've made a huge mistake or with your friends right you have an

expectation that they'll be there for you that they'll support you that they'll be true rider di homies but when they fall short you're like man I have the worst friends in the world I am alone you know FML

like that kind of by right so you have expectations and then you have an outcome that didn't deliver on that expectation and as a result you're upset right very very much so an over simplification of emotions in life but you probably
