Every Frustration Is The Result Of An Unmet Expectation

Frustration builds when a situation doesn’t work out how you expected it to and each time someone doesn’t satisfy what you anticipated them to. You’re thinking one thing and then something different results. Instead of allowing little frustrations to build over time, get ahead of them.

Be honest with yourself and transparent with others about what you expect. 

Unexpressed, unclear standards are not only impossible to meet but quickly become a breeding ground for your own discontentment. Build clear communication in relationships that facilitate, rather than hinder meeting expectations. 

Before you lower the bar of what you desire for yourself in hopes others will more easily meet your needs, focus on setting them up for success. Create environments that allow for your expectations, desires, and needs to be met.
