The expectations I quietly put on others is the reason they clam up. Acceptance opens them back up. My life just feels better when people no longer disappoint me. How does this happen? Do they suddenly stop being imperfect? No! It happens as I learn to accept rather than expect. Acceptance liberates the mirroring of Christ; expectation limits us to what others expect from us…it is the mirroring of false projections resulting from performance pressure.
