So I am curious to see if anyone else feels this way.
I find that in general expectations kinda muck things up , so often when we expect something of someone or something it seems like they just fall short. Often times leading to disappointment and frustration.
I am noticing that this is nowhere more apparent than in golf, for me at least.
When I first began being a bit more serious about my game I was very happy to have a long putt lag nicely to within a foot or two of the hole, now I am am frustrated to not hole it at times. Same with bunker play it is no longer satisfying merely to get out in one stroke I am let down to not be in good position for an up and down.
It is not as bad as I am conveying it I just mean to say that as we improve is it natural to expect and demand more from ourselves, and how to use it constructively?
