I’ve been told by friends, family, coworkers, boyfriends, etc. that sometimes my expectations of myself and others can be too high. In my opinion, there is no such thing. 

I expect myself to keep my health and fitness as a high priority in life. But, I do understand that it is not healthy to stress and obsess over it 24-7. 

I serve as a volunteer in several organizations and I expect my fellow volunteers to at least do what they will say they will do and be held accountable for their responsibilities just as I would from a coworker or colleague.

On a more basic level, I expect good service…is that too much to ask? The gym that I work out at is super cheap…a lot cheaper than other gyms in the area, however, machines aren’t always in working order and the track isn’t swept on a regular basis.  I usually go to the gym first thing in the morning when they open for the day and yet I find empty paper towel dispensers, empty soap dispensers, etc. I complain and my friends tell me I have no right to complain because of how cheap it is. Really? I have no right to complain? I may not be paying much, but I’m still paying….

Anyway, I will get off of my soapbox now.
