Friends
How about them Broncos? Overcoming challenges, erasing a
large deficit and, with a little help from lady luck, winning by a hair. The
photo finish victory was made all that much sweeter by my low expectations.
Better living, right? Well, sort of. While it is true that if we assume things
will go poorly we are pleasantly surprised when they don’t, this only holds
true if the person with the lowered expectations is not the one doing the work.
If you watched the post-game interviews, nobody on the team had any doubts
about Simeon. His teammates gleamed when speaking of his poise and how they
were glad the world now sees what they did. If the Broncos had expected to
lose, I imagine that would have become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’m sure
there’s a moral there for all of us. Fortunately, you were not involved in the
confection of the Holy Donuts I brought-in this morning so… go ahead, lower the bar! You
might be pleasantly surprised when you take that first bite.
Happy Friday!
