This is my puppy, Phoebe, when I take her for walks, she is
often greeted by people wanting to say hello to her. However, approximately 90%
of the people refer to Phoebe as a “he”; they assume that she is a male dog.
This is an example of “puppy expectations,” in that
people are assuming the sex of the
dog without actually knowing. In this case, assuming, and having false expectations does not result in
much harm, or not achieving one’s personal goals. However, it is a very good example of how
our brains are wired to make faulty assumptions and expectations, under
specific situations.
Having faulty assumptions about the sex of a dog, ultimately
has little consequences, however as it pertains to your goals, the specific
means by which you will accomplish them necessitates never assuming, or
expecting a certain result without knowing
the specifics and the facts.
Being
specific and clear in your goal pursuits keeps your expectations realistic,
thus goal attainment becomes a reality!
My little Phoebe story is a lesson about faulty
expectations.
