In Kate's Sincere Discussion series, we share, listen, and discuss openly the things that make life both simple and complicated at the same time. We're all on this journey together, and we're all equally confused, so maybe if we talk about it, we can feel a bit less alone and a bit more understood and capable of understanding!_x000D_ _x000D_ This week, let's talk honestly and openly about the often unclear idea of your own (and others') expectations for your life! What do you hope to have and experience? What do you expect to have and experience? How are those two the same or different? How much of your expectations for yourself are actually yours? How much of them are influenced by society? Your family? Your status? Are they really what you want? If not, what do you want? And is it ok if you don't know? Are any expectations on your life simply unrealistic? Unhealthy? Boring? Limiting?_x000D_ _x000D_ The truth is we all have expectations, whether they're our own or they're thrust upon us, we have them and they affect pretty much every single thing we do. So let's talk about yours. Let's share each other's expectations and dive in to how they may have changed over the years. Maybe we'll set some new ones. Maybe we'll get rid of some old ones. Let's definitely get a handle on how they affect us and try to make them do that positively. _x000D_ _x000D_ Let's look at science, psychology, sociology, and real case studies, and let's share our own experiences. Let's have a deep, important, and fun discussion!_x000D_ _x000D_ 在Kate的真诚讨论系列中，我们分享、倾听并公开讨论那些让生活既简单又复杂的事情。我们都在这段旅程中，我们都同样困惑，所以也许如果我们谈论它，我们会感到少一点孤独，多一点理解和理解的能力!_x000D_ _x000D_ 本周，让我们开诚布公地谈谈你自己(和他人)对生活的期望。你希望拥有和经历什么?你期望拥有和经历什么?这两者有什么相同或不同之处?你对自己的期望有多少是源自你自己的?他们中有多少人受到社会的影响?你的家人怎么样?你的状态呢?它们真的是你想要的吗?如果没有，你想要什么?你不知道的话可以吗?你对生活的任何期望都是不切实际的吗?不健康的吗?无聊的吗?有限制的吗?_x000D_ _x000D_ 事实是我们都有期望，无论是我们自己的期望还是强加给我们的期望，我们都有期望，它们几乎影响着我们做的每一件事。我们来谈谈你的吧。让我们分享彼此的期望，并深入了解这些年来它们是如何变化的。也许我们会设置一些新的期望。也许我们可以扔掉一些旧的期望。我们一定要弄清楚它们是如何影响我们的，并试着让它们积极地影响我们。_x000D_ _x000D_ 让我们从科学，心理学，社会学，和真实的案例研究角度出发，让我们分享我们自己的经验。让我们进行一次深入、重要、有趣的讨论吧!
