If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
--Michael Jordan

Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.
--Denis Waitley

Your success depends on what you expect of yourself and the world. When you allow how others view you to influence how you view yourself, you are in effect letting them decide your level of success and your destiny. How others feel, even how they feel about you, is not your concern. You have control over how you feel about yourself, and that is more than enough. When you deliberately decide how you are going to view yourself, the world will eventually come around to your point of view.
