Are You Living Down to Someone Else’s Expectations?
This past week I saw Montel Williams on “The Doctors” program on TV. In case you don’t know who Montel is, he is a well-known talk show host who suffers from MS (multiple sclerosis). He was on the program to help a young woman who is also living with a disabling illness. During the course of the interview, he made the statement that he decided early in his fight against MS that he was not going to let other people dictate his progress or lack of it. He said, “I don’t have to live down to other people’s expectations.”
Don’t Miss Out on the Unexpected
My four-year-old grandson had an interesting experience a few weeks ago. I gave his mom a box of MultiGrain Cheerios for them to enjoy. The next morning she noticed that my grandson was looking for food in the refrigerator. This was rather odd because his bowl of cereal was sitting on the table waiting for him. When she asked him why he wasn’t eating his Cheerios, he told her that some of them were burned and he didn’t want to eat them. Since this was his first time to eat MultiGrain Cheerios he didn’t understand why some of them were darker than others. Once his mom explained to him that they just looked different because they were made from a different grain he ate them without any problems.
