Expectations: Hidden Life Blinders

What risks and rewards might be hiding beyond your expectations?

Harnesses used for horses sometimes include a flap of leather that sits next to their eyes, cutting off peripheral vision so they can only see what is in front of them. Expectations have much the same effect on our lives - keeping us focused on what we actively expect and hindering our ability to even see what we don’t.

Life will always hold surprises, but we can minimize needless stumbling by widening our perception to see beyond initial expectations to identify the risks and opportunities hiding in plain view.
