 ## Expectations
 
-It doesn't matter in what field you excel. Whether it's sport or programming or any endeavour in life. Often we encounter success followed by failure. How can we overcome the temporary discomfort and keep our eyes on the goal?

 Most of us work towards a goal we set ourselves. Accomplishing the goal sets expectations for our next achievement. And that's where we have to be careful. 
 
 We compare the previous journey to the one that's ahead. 
 We give our actions a new frame. We already know what it's like to be on top. We develop a sense of ownership to that goal.
 
-We start to think and act differently. We "know" what had lead to previous success. We start to redefine our approach to the problems without giving it all.

 You change your mentality. You're up there. You only can look downwards. You lost the drive that was needed to get you up there. 
 
 You also stop to respect the competition, since you already own it. You stop giving credit for trying and failing. You levitate yourself in a state of superior presence.

 Only after the fall we start to realize what went wrong but then it's too late for this round and you start to questioning yourself.
