Expectations…Have you ever been let down because what you expected wasn’t what you got? I don’t consider a fourth of a strawberry a salad, but by the end of dinner I was glad I hadn’t filled up on bread and lettuce because the steak was huge and amazing! Sometimes we are disappointed because we didn’t get what we wanted or when it showed up, well, we were less than impressed.  Now anytime something doesn’t go as planned, I look for the possible silver lining in the situation.

Set a goal…If you don’t get what you want, look for the silver lining in it.  The more you do it, the more natural it will become.  Next thing you know, you will no longer be focusing on the disappointment but on the possibilities.

“So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36 (NLT)
