Are you ever amazed at how disappointed you can be in someone?

In the last few years, I've lowered my expectations of people's behavior. A LOT. It's become apparent in the last few days though, I've not lowered them quite enough. *sigh*

Ever since I've come to the realization that I cannot control what other people do, think or believe, my expectations have adjusted themselves quite nicely. In other words, it's no longer a priority, people have to make their own mistakes. Life is too short to worry about the small fry.

If pressed I remind myself it's not my duty to convince them of something - it's my duty to tell them. They have to take the football from there into the end zone by themselves. Try it, you'll sleep better.
