Desperation is dangerous!

Here’s what happens when your expectations aren’t met:

Imagine you put all your hopes and energy into one thing, something you believe your whole life depends on. You sacrifice your dreams, ignore other opportunities, and even push aside friends and family just to focus on that one goal. But then, it doesn’t work out as you planned. The pain can be overwhelming, and recovering from it may be very difficult.

There’s a difference between feeling hurt when a project fails, a relationship ends, or a plan faces setbacks, and feeling completely shattered because your entire life was centered on one thing. When desperation takes over, the disappointment hits much harder, making it tough to heal and move forward.

That’s why self-evaluation is important. Assess how much you depend on a particular goal. Instead of putting all your hopes in one basket, try to keep a balanced mindset—maybe 50/50, 60/40, or 75/25—while staying positive and resilient. That way, if things work out, great! If not, you can dust yourself off and move on because you had already prepared for other possibilities.

Regular self-reflection helps maintain mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being as you pursue your goals.
