Joseph Sternberg challenges the Trump administration's antagonistic view of the EU, citing polls showing the institution remains popular among Europeans. He argues that US policy should not be based on the expectation of the EU's collapse, noting that the UK's exit was unique to its specific history and not a continental trend. 1810 BRUSSELS

Last week we uncovered the Expectation Trap — the moment you realize you're holding someone to your internal rulebook and feeling irritated, disappointed, or flat-out furious when they don't follow it. This week, we take it further. Because once you see the trap clearly, the real question becomes: now what?This episode breaks down your three actual moves when someone's behavior clashes with your values, standards, or instincts: let it go, make an adjustment, or enforce a boundary. These choices help you reclaim your steadiness, drop unnecessary resentment, and lead your home with more intention, especially during the holiday pressure cooker.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How your expectations get built — and why the internal ones hit the hardestThe power of choosing your battles instead of reacting from urgency or indignationWhy “letting it go” is sometimes the most strategic move in an autism householdWhat adjusting looks like when someone simply operates differently than youHow to enforce a boundary without drama, panic, or self-judgmentWhen you stop holding people to your personal rulebook, you stop burning energy on the wrong things and free up bandwidth for what actually matters to you.Ready to take this work deeper?Work with Me: This is where we clean up the mental load, the resentment, and the overfunctioning so you have capacity again: https://talkwiththeautismmomcoach.as.me

Ever feel like the more you expect from yourself, the tighter you get? The pressure builds. Your focus slips. And instead of living free, you start overthinking every move – at work, at home, on the field, wherever you compete. Let's be real. High expectations don't automatically lead to high performance. In fact, when your mind is overloaded with expectations, your performance usually pays the price. What feels like discipline often turns into pressure, anxiety, and hesitation. What I've learned through my work with pro and executive athletes is simple but counterintuitive: performance doesn't come from expectation – it comes from preparation. And when your preparation is dialed in, freedom shows up. Freedom fuels confidence. And confidence unlocks your best game. In this week's 5-Minute Drill on Coming Up Clutch with J.R™, I break down the exact mindset shift and 3-step strategy I use with elite competitors to help them: Stop choking under pressure and start playing free Reallocate expectations from results to preparation Trust the outcome while staying locked into the process So if you're tired of gripping tighter and getting worse… If you're frustrated that your talent isn't translating into consistent performance… And if you want to bring your best – not just at work, but at home too – this episode is for you! In this episode, you'll hear: Why overloading yourself with high performance expectations often leads to worse results. The story of an MLB player who immediately regained freedom, confidence, and high-level performance after one subtle shift in his mindset. Science-backed reasons that explain why focusing on preparation over outcomes is a must. A powerful biblical example from the story of David and Goliath about how trusting God and leaning into your preparation leads to victory. The 3-step strategy to overcome the expectation trap. Key Quotes "When your mind is overloaded with performance expectations, your performance typically pays the price." - J.R. "Preparation creates freedom. Freedom fuels performance." - J.R. "We're not guaranteed success because of high expectations. We're put in better position to enjoy success because of our preparation." - J.R.

In this Advent message, we explore the powerful, often misunderstood nature of biblical hope through 1 Corinthians 13, Romans 8, and Romans 5. Scripture shows us that hope is both eternal and temporal: it endures beyond this life, yet it sustains us right now as we wait in the tension between promise and fulfillment. This teaching unpacks: • The difference between cultural "wishful thinking" and biblical hope (elpis) • Why faith, hope, and love remain — even when other things pass away • How hope operates in seasons of suffering and waiting • Why hope does not disappoint, even when life is painful • How the Holy Spirit intercedes for us and anchors us in God's love If you're weary, waiting, or struggling to hold on to hope in the middle of suffering, this message will remind you that God is faithful, His promises are sure, and the glory to come far outweighs the trials of this present age. Be encouraged. Keep hoping. God is not finished yet.

1-STJW 12-14-2025AM - Series: 2025 Christmas Series - Title: The Expectation of Messiah - Scripture: Luke 2:25-32

A short talk on expectation from our family Christmas service.

In Episode 234: Expectation Roadblocks, I'm diving into one of the biggest hidden barriers to connection—especially during the holidays, on the mission, and in our closest relationships: expectations. This time of year brings an avalanche of pressure—how we "should" show up, how others "should" behave, how family gatherings "should" feel. But in this episode, I unpack why expectations—spoken or unspoken—almost always create disconnection, frustration, resentment, and emotional distance. And more importantly, I show you how to shift from expectation to true connection, autonomy, compassion, and emotional maturity. You'll learn why expectations feel like safety to your caveman brain, why they function as subtle attempts at emotional control, and how they create unnecessary pain—for both the person holding the expectation and the person living under it. I walk you through real-life mission examples, family dynamics, missionary companionships, and holiday interactions to show exactly how expectation roadblocks form—and how to move beyond them using supportive tools like boundaries, requests, intentions, emotional ownership, and unconditional Christlike love. We'll talk about the signs you're stuck in expectation mode, the emotional fallout it creates, and the powerful mindset shifts that help you release pressure, drop resentment, and create genuine connection with the people in your life—companions, roommates, family members, mission leaders, friends, and even yourself. If you want more peace, more authenticity, and more connection this season (and always), this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Notes: Contract Law Exam Ready GuideUnderstanding Contract Law Remedies: Expectation, Reliance, and RestitutionThis conversation delves into the intricacies of contract remedies, focusing on the primary types: expectation, reliance, and restitution. It emphasizes the importance of compensation over punishment in contract law, exploring the limitations on damages, special rules under the UCC, and the concept of equitable remedies. The discussion provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how damages are calculated and the legal principles that govern them, making it essential for law students preparing for exams.In the realm of contract law, understanding remedies is crucial for both students and practitioners. The primary goal of contract remedies is compensation, not punishment, aiming to place the non-breaching party in the position they would have been if the contract had been performed as promised. Let's delve into the three main types of remedies: expectation, reliance, and restitution.Expectation Damages: The Default RemedyExpectation damages are the most common remedy, designed to give the injured party the benefit of the bargain. This involves calculating the value of what was promised minus what was actually received, adding any incidental or consequential losses, and subtracting any costs avoided due to the breach. This forward-looking approach ensures the injured party receives the future they were promised.Reliance Damages: Looking BackwardWhen expectation damages are too speculative, reliance damages come into play. This remedy aims to restore the injured party to their pre-contract position by reimbursing expenses incurred in reliance on the contract. It's particularly useful in cases where future profits are uncertain, such as new business ventures.Restitution: Preventing Unjust EnrichmentRestitution shifts the focus from the injured party's loss to the breaching party's gain. This remedy ensures that the breaching party does not unfairly benefit from the contract. It's especially relevant in scenarios where the market value of the work done exceeds the contract price, allowing the non-breaching party to recover the reasonable value of their services.Key Limitations and ConsiderationsContract law also imposes limitations on these remedies, including foreseeability, certainty, and the duty to mitigate damages. These constraints ensure that damages are reasonable and justifiable. Additionally, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides specific rules for the sale of goods, emphasizing real-world mitigation strategies.In conclusion, understanding these remedies and their limitations is essential for navigating contract law effectively. Whether you're preparing for an exam or dealing with a real-world contract dispute, mastering these concepts will equip you with the tools needed to achieve fair compensation.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in contract law.TakeawaysThe goal of contract remedies is compensation, not punishment.Expectation damages aim to put the injured party in the position they would have been in if the contract had been performed.Reliance damages restore the status quo ante, reimbursing expenses incurred in reliance on the contract.Restitution focuses on preventing unjust enrichment of the breaching party.Damages must be proven with reasonable certainty; speculation is not enough.The injured party has a duty to mitigate their losses after a breach.The Lost Volume Seller doctrine allows sellers to recover lost profits even after reselling goods.Specific performance is an equitable remedy used when money damages are inadequate.Liquidated damages clauses must be reasonable estimates of potential losses, not penalties.contract law, remedies, expectation damages, reliance damages, restitution, UCC, equitable remedies, legal principles, compensation, breach of contract

How do Buddhists make sense of anger? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explains that anger becomes harmful only when we identify with it or rationalize it, and that mindfulness allows us to observe anger as what it is rather than claiming it. Through examples of everyday reactions and Buddhist concepts, Bhante Sathi illustrates how anger often masks deeper emotions and becomes habitual “mind food” when left unexamined. By befriending anger—treating it like a difficult visitor—we can learn from it, prevent it from controlling us, and ultimately transform it into a powerful teacher.

In this Sunday solo, Sarah breaks down what “reading subtle energy” actually feels like in real life: soft, fast, surprising, and usually easy to dismiss. She shares how presence (and loosening ego/expectations) strengthens intuition, why most intuitive info doesn't arrive like a crystal-clear movie or voice memo, and how real-time feedback with a practice partner can change everything. Along the way, she tells powerful stories—like a psychometry exercise that unexpectedly brought through “horse energy,” and a moving reading where a father's apology, a closet door with white slats, and two dragonflies opened the door to forgiveness, humor, and closure.   Subtle energy is quiet and quick. If you're waiting for fireworks, you'll miss the “pops.” Your body is a YES/NO instrument. “Random nope,” “full-body hell yeah,” chills, pressure, emotion shifts—these can be intuitive language. Presence is the gateway to presence. To feel Spirit with you, your awareness has to be in the current moment. Expectation shrinks the channel. When you “need it to be this,” you filter out the bigger message (and Spirit doesn't obey ceilings). Intuition arrives clean—then the mind narrates. The moment you hesitate, analysis takes over and the signal fades. Practice partners create traction. Feedback + intention = learning faster (and trusting yourself sooner). Evidence can be both tender and funny. A reading can hold shame + forgiveness + dragonflies + a cocktail-party couple saying “just take it.” Guided writing is a real, accessible tool. Calm state + pen moving = a channel for gentle, guiding language.   “Expectation kills openness.”   “For most of my life… I had no idea what reading energy meant. I thought that energy was what I was billed for monthly to keep my electricity running.”   Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

We all know one difficult person in our life who, despite our best efforts, doesn't seem to want to be kind to us. But what if we viewed those situations as opportunities for compassion and inner clarity rather than obstacles? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explains that, according to the Buddha, compassion toward those who treat us unkindly arises from recognising their limitations, letting go of expectations, and holding the same unconditional attitude a wise parent has toward a struggling child. Mindfulness allows us to see that suffering comes from our own expectations, helps us catch our reactions in the moment, and guides us to step away from harmful situations without responding with anger.

This Sunday is the Second Sunday in Advent. Advent is a four week preparation for the celebration of the coming of Jesus at Christmas. Advent has two themes related to the coming of Jesus. His first coming at Bethlehem, and His second coming at the end of time. This hymn is found in the Advent section of our hymnal(s), but was actually written by Laurentius for the end of the Trinity Season as a reflection on the Savior's return on the Last Day. The hymn is based primarily on Jesus' parable of the Ten Virgins, which highlight the importance of preparation for Jesus' (the Bridegroom) return. The hymn writer calls believers to live with lives of watchfulness but also with confidence as we wait for the coming of our Savior. The words direct our attention away from the sin and brokenness of this world and to the promise of Life in Heaven. While we suffer now, those sufferings cannot compare to the glory which is yet to come for the Child of God. The Christian's hope does not rest upon the things of this world, but in the work of Jesus and His promise to come again and to set all things right. Jesus is our Hope and Expectation. Thanks be to God for the coming of our Savior, both at Bethlehem, and His promise to come in the future for our deliverance from this sinful world!

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Kruti Lehenbauer, Founder of Analytics TX. Kruti is a longtime statistician and economic consultant who has held leadership roles across analytics, data, and research. She holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Political Economy and helps organizations audit business data, uncover hidden efficiencies, and navigate strategic planning, AI adoption, and more. She regularly shares thought-provoking insights and translates complex analysis into clear, actionable takeaways. We were delighted to hear her perspectives on interest rates, inflation, tariffs, and more ahead of next week's Fed meeting. In our conversation, we explore the “panic narrative” around the economy and why the past five years may feel worse than what the long-run trends suggest. We discuss the health of the U.S. economy, whether we're truly in a unique moment, how rapid interest rate hikes have worsened the debt picture, and why Kruti believes rates should already be moving back toward ~3%. She shares why the expectation that “everything must rise exponentially” is misguided, invoking Joan Robinson's reminder that “in the long run we are all dead, but not all at once.” We cover what data Kruti thinks the Fed should focus on (employment, GDP, true inflation) versus short-term headlines and political noise, the interplay between aggregate demand and aggregate supply, and why productivity and technology matter most for long-run growth. Kruti also explains how tariffs effectively raise real interest rates, how consumers adapt, and the flaws she sees in how we measure inflation today. We touch on why she believes fears of mass job loss from AI are overblown, the importance of adaptation, and her concerns about declining quality in higher education and its impact on high-skill labor and future productivity. We address fiscal versus monetary policy, why overreliance on the Fed is risky, and long-run structural issues including savings behavior, financial literacy, and long-dated household debt. We also discuss India's role as a rising economic partner and end with the “magic-wand” reforms Kruti would prioritize including leaner government, updated inflation metrics, and policies that expand the economy's productive frontier rather than over-managing it. It was a thought-provoking discussion. Mike Bradley kicked us off by noting that broader equity markets rallied on a rebound in Bitcoin, bond yields have been inching higher, crude oil remains under pressure, U.S. natural gas price continues to surge, and copper prices are hitting all-time highs. The 10-year bond yield inched higher this week to ~4.1%, after trading near 4% last week, on rumors that Kevin Hassett is the front-runner for Federal Reserve Chairman. Bond volatility will likely continue into the December 10th FOMC meeting. The DJIA and S&P 500 were both up on the day but remain flattish to slightly lower for the week, with Technology leading and Energy lagging. On the oil market front, WTI price continues to be under pressure (trading just under $59/bbl) due to continuing concern around an early 2026 global oil surplus (~2-4mmbpd). This bearish oil thesis/trade is very-very-very consensus. OPEC+ convened over the weekend and agreed, as expected, to pause oil output hikes through Q126 and to call for third-party verification of OPEC+ members Maximum Sustainable Capacity for 2027 production baselines. He closed by highlighting that cold weather has finally arrived, spiking prompt U.S. natural gas price to ~$5/MMBtu (while the 12-month strip holds steady at ~$4.15/MMBtu). He noted the remarkable surge in Lower-48 dry gas production, from 108-109bcfpd a month ago to a weekend peak of ~114bcfpd, now settling in at 112-113bcfpd. Jeff Tillery shared a few themes he's watching heading into the next few quarters. In traditional energy, oilfield services stocks are jumping even as oil prices fall, raising the question of whether the market is signali

Send us a textOur faith in God gives us the confidence we need. Faith functions as confident trust in God rather than a push to make everything happen on our own. How do we exercise patient endurance? Why is patient endurance not passive waiting but an active, steady posture that keeps us doing God's will?Our mindset of faith is a divinely inspired framework to turn vision into reality: expectation, anticipation, preparation, and realization. Expectation begins when we receive a promise; anticipation imagines the future joy and impact; preparation translates belief into obedient steps taken in response to God's guidance and timing; realization is the fruit that arrives in due season.  Satan attacks us in our minds. His tactic is to create doubts.Often, he whispers, "How can you make that happen?"A key insight is that we don't make things happen. We receive by faith what God has already provided.God gives us a decisive response. Submit to God's faithfulness, power, and love; resist the thought in Jesus' name, and then proclaim your promise from God aloud. Practice this regularly to build confidence and align your heart with God's Word, reinforcing your faith during spiritual battles.Our daily mindset becomes a practiced response. Over time, we learn to focus on the next step as God directs, to rest in the wisdom of His perfect timing, and to allow Him to lead us into the realization of His plan for us.Your life will positively impact your family, colleagues, clients, and those you meet along the way.Listen to God's plan and receive courage to keep going, a plan to move forward, and power to fight doubt. The outcome of expectation, anticipation, and preparation is the realization of God's promises in your life.https://www.seldicompany.com/

In this episode, Tamsin Ballard, Chief Investor Initiatives Officer at the PRI, reflects on a pivotal COP30 in Belém and what it means for investors navigating the next phase of the net zero transition. She is joined by Jan Kæraa Rasmussen, Head of ESG and Sustainability at PensionDanmark and member of the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance Steering Group, and Daniel Gallagher, Senior Lead on Climate at the PRI. Both guests were closely involved in investor engagement around COP30, offering on-the-ground insights from São Paulo and Belém.Together, they unpack the shift from pledges to implementation, the growing involvement of finance ministries, and the rapidly evolving expectations for investors across mitigation, resilience and nature. They explore what COP30 delivered, and what still needs to happen to unlock the capital required for a global, just and investable transition.OverviewCOP30 marked a step change in how investors were integrated into climate discussions, with strong participation from finance ministries, MDBs, asset owners and global policymakers.From São Paulo to Belém, conversations were more grounded in real-economy transition needs, with a stronger focus on:scaling finance to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs)strengthening NDC quality and investabilityreforming multilateral development banks (MDBs)mobilising catalytic capital for climate and naturerecognising the centrality of the climate-nature nexusJan and Daniel reflect on why investors must remain at the table, how policy signals are evolving, and what COP30 revealed about both the opportunities and risks in a multi-speed global transition.Detailed CoverageFrom pledges to implementationCOP30 reinforced that international negotiations alone cannot deliver the speed or scale required. Brazil's presidency emphasised an action agenda bridging policy and the real economy, pushing for greater alignment between investor needs and national transition pathways.Investment flows and the net zero transitionDaniel highlights PRI's latest analysis presented in Sao Paolo on investment flows to the clean energy transition, yet stresses ongoing misalignment between where capital is flowing and where it is most needed, particularly in EMDEs.

Now that we are only a few weeks away from the Playoffs. Jones and Keefe reset expectations for this Patriots team based on where they are now and how the rest of the league looks.

In this episode, Pastor Matt invites us into a deeper posture of holy expectation — not hype, not striving, but the steady awareness that every moment is already sacred because every moment is union.We explore what it means to live awake to the Presence we already carry, to prepare our hearts not through effort but through tenderness, and to recognize the appointed moments where heaven and earth meet.This message calls us to end the ebb-and-flow mindset, embrace the truth that we are God's resting place, and step into the kind of expectation that opens the heart instead of exhausting it.If you're hungry for a lifestyle of union, communion, and holy anticipation, this teaching will mark you.Listen and lean in — awareness is the doorway, and union is the invitation

In this first lesson of the Advent season, Jesus teaches us how the little fig tree can help in figuring out when the second Advent will take place. The message is called "Hope & Expectation" in this episode of TURNING HOME.

What do you do when you're praying for good things and nothing is happening? This message tackles “expectation frustration” — the gap between what you hoped for and what life is giving you. We'll explore why God sometimes delays, how to recognize the wrong doors, and how to stay close to Him when you feel stuck. If you're in a season of waiting, this message will give you clarity, hope, and direction.

In Mark 2 the paralytic came to be healed. Jesus healed him AND forgave him of his sins. He exceeded his expectation. If what you are experiencing right now is not lining up with your expectation it is a set up for God to give you a revelation of who He is! He wants to exceed your expectation!

When Thomas Pfanner's eighth-grade son walked out of his life for six months, he realized something had to change - and it wasn't his son. In this powerful conversation, Thomas breaks down his FORGE framework (Faith, Ownership, Respect, Groundbreaking Adventure, and Expectation) from his new book "Dads Who Lead," revealing why teen rebellion happens and how fathers can shift from being the "police officer dad" to becoming a trusted guide. We dive deep into the critical mistake most dads make (focusing on changing the kid instead of changing themselves), the concept of your "dad brand," why listening is more powerful than lecturing, and how to create groundbreaking adventures that build unshakeable bonds. Thomas shares practical strategies for handling the daily friction of homework, screens, and expectations, while maintaining the bigger vision for who our kids are becoming. Whether your kids are still young or you're in the thick of teenage rebellion, this episode offers a roadmap for showing up as the father your family needs - starting with mastering yourself first.Guest Links:Dads who Lead By Tom PfannerWebsite---------This episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.
