Something to think about to be less stressed with people. #youtubeshorts

Several years ago I was attending daily Mass before Christmas Eve. The pastor got up and said he knew a lot of us would be travelling to see family. He said he didn't want to say anything to stir up conflict but made the point to not put any expectations on people.

People are who they are, and sometimes we expect sudden change. This can cause stress and I unfortunately did this a lot in my police career because I would put false expectations on supervisors who weren't good leaders. Fortunately most of the supervisors I had, were leaders. But still, don't put expectations.
