Ever thought about how paralysing it can be if we set expectations too high?

A client recently mentioned that her simple intention of learning to play an instrument had been turned into a potential international career by her well meaning parents.

This expectation stopped her in tracks. Instead of having a bit of fun, her inner perfectionism was being called out to play – and I, for one, know what that feels like! Yuck!

Dreams are great – but once they transform into an expectation watch out! In the end it is the journey that counts.
