“A wonderful gift may not be wrapped as you expect.” – Jonathan Lockwood Huie
No matter how many times I watch the fireworks, there are always surprises – ones that shock, inspire, and amaze me. It’s rare that I expect to be “WOW”ed. We often walk into situations when all we know is the date, the time and the person with whom we’re meeting. What do you expect to get out of the time spent? Do you notice anything special about the other person? Are you open to being “WOW”ed?
Set the expectations for YOURSELF instead of the situation, the other person, or the outcome. Determine ahead of time what your attitude will be; pay attention to your facial expressions; decide to be pleasant; and recognize the gifts unfolding in front of you. When you go in with high expectations for yourself, you will always be “WOW”ed by the experience.
Make it a strong day!
