Podcasts about failed expectations

We are so hard on ourselves when we hit a wall or fail. I've found that the reality so often for me is that my expectations weren't based on any facts or experiences, just hopes, and dreams. No wonder it didn't work out! Stepping back and rethinking the process can change it all.Hopes + Dreams + Experience + Knowledge = a smoother and straighter road to success. I hope this episode meets you where you are, encourages you, lets you know you are not alone, and sows the seeds of hope that there is another way. I hope you enjoy this episode. ~Lisa Z.

This Isn't Therapy...this is a conversation about failed expectations. Through two lovely listeners story submissions (and an article, see below), Jake and Simon explore the impact of not meeting the expectations others put on us, as well as the expectations we put on ourselves. Woof! Big stuff - especially around this "new year, new me" time of year. How do we navigate impossible expectations? Or unrealistic standards? And how can we maintain progress in our goals once the initial excitement fades away? Tune into to find out, Mary!!  Don't forget!

In this episode of PING, APNIC's Chief Scientist Geoff Huston discusses the major themes from his recent blog on “Failed Expectations” In a trip down memory lane, the podcast ranges over the 40 year plus history of how we came to have the current Internet as we know it, and some of the “road not taken” alternates which were under consideration at the time. In this context. “Failed” doesn't have to mean “failed to work” -it can mean the technology simply wasn't chosen, or it can be the “failure” to turn off something which was believed to be at best temporary! In part, the story of IPv6 deployment is part of this mismatch of expectations and reality, because nobody sought the outcome we're now living through, of a 20 plus year transition from 32 bit addresses to a world of 128 bit addressing. IPv6 was designed with an eye to the needs of addressing at scale, but the emergence of a transfer model, and continued improvement in NAT (and deployment of Carrier-grade NAT or CGN) at scale, worldwide has perpetuated a 32 bit address and routing world. IPv4 Internet is the “little network which could” and refuses to go away quietly. The views expressed by the featured speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of APNIC.

Have you ever set out to do something with clear expectations, and fallen completely "flat on your face?" Well, Sam has (pfft, let's face it... haven't we all?) and she is here to spill all about it. After following the guidance of a channeled message from Micki, Sam travelled to Australia to promote the properties in her business, Host to Host. She set an expectation to increase the members, status and ultimately, sales. But this did not happen...not. even. close. So why? Why go all the way there? Why do all of the things if your expectations are not met? Because expectations are essential in order to motivate you to do the thing. If you didn't have that expectation of exactly what you wanted, there wouldn't be any reason for you to do it. You need to expect your desired outcome, in order for you to take inspired action so that the Universe can carve out the path with the gifts; the experience; the wisdom; the connections; the journey that supports and guides you to your ultimate manifestations. Does this suck sometimes? Yup. Will you cry? If you're like us, probably. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Wishing you a life of joy and abundance,  Sam & Micki -- https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/our-manifestation-journey/id1484270331?i=1000571070188 (Listen to Episode 92) for Full Details on Sam's Tour & Experience -- Let's continue the conversation!

As we reach the end of the year, there is always a sense of guilt that this year didn't go the way we expected. We wished to see our dreams, goals, and expectations happen this year but unfortunately, it hasn't. In situations like these, we might wonder; Has God abandoned me? or Is he still working in my life? Questions may pound our heart making us leave discouraged and hopeless about the coming year. In the Bible, there's a character called Gideon who goes through a similar situation; he had an expectation but it wasn't fulfilled for a period of time. There are some very valuable lessons we can learn from the life of Gideon about failed expectations. In this sermon, Pastor Joshua shares valuable insights from the Life of Gideon. Listen, share and be blessed.

On this month's book review Diane Stemple interviews Mike Edison, fellow Heritage Radio Network host (Arts & Seizures) about his latest memoir, You Are a Complete Disappointment, A Triumphant Memoir of Failed Expectations. With the title pulled from real life––it was one of the last things the author’s father said to him before dying––there's a lot to get into here! Cutting the Curd is powered by Simplecast.

Luke 7:18–35 Where do you go when your expectations fail?

We all have failed expectations in our lives. John the Baptist’s expectations of Jesus weren’t quite what he expected and in a moment of doubt, he wondered if Jesus was who He said He was. Many times God will fail your expectations so that later...

"Failed Expectations" Matthew 11:1-3 Pastor Richard B. Haynes | 03/26/2017 11:00am

This book is flat out, flat out! The tease goes like this... His dying father is in a hospital room hooked up to breathing apparatus making it difficult to communicate. He motioned the author Mike to come a little closer. He told Mike he was glad he was there and went on to tell his son, "YOU are a complete disappointment!" And he was just getting started.... This is a really raw, painful, intimate and ultimately joyful look at a very complex father/son relationship. But I think it could just as easily be a mother/son, daughter/father or mother/daughter relationship. It crosses all boundaries. I find it difficult to believe that this is as isolated as one might think. I believe people don't talk about it or are embarrassed to talk about it. How does one begin to process such a thought? A parent who is competitive and jealous of their own offspring. This is a must read for many reasons...it's entertaining and actually has some very funny moments, there are moments that made me uncomfortable but there is learning and growing and revelation too. This is one of those books that was a page turner and very easy to read. Reach out to Mike Edison at www.mikeedison.com/

Today's Guest: Mike Edison, author, You Are A Complete Disappointment, I Have Fun Everywhere I Go, Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!   Watch this exclusive Mr. Media® interview with Mike Edison by clicking on the video player above!  Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of boys and girls who can look forward to a lifetime of dumbass sh!t their parents are genetically bound to say to them in the years ahead… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! In his past appearances on Mr. Media, I pretty much swooned over the arc of Mike Edison’s career as a writer and editor: Editor, High Times magazine. Foreign correspondent, Hustler magazine. Paid letters writer, Penthouse magazine. MIKE EDISON podcast excerpt: "When my dad died, he was pretty abusive and a bully, to me. But when he died, I cried a lot. Of course I did, like any son would when their dad died. I had an odd sort of closure because his last words to me were, 'You are a complete disappointment.' And he was just getting started." You can LISTEN to this interview with writer MIKE EDISON, author of YOU ARE A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT, by clicking the audio player above! Contributor, the Huffington Post, Daily Beast, New York Observer, Spin, Interview, and the New York Press. Author, I Have Fun Everywhere I Go and Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Screw the guy in the Dos Equis commercials; for my money, Mike Edison is the most interesting man in world. In his third and – I suspect – not last memoir, You Are A Complete Disappointment: A Triumphant Memoir of Failed Expectations, we learn how much childhood and adult grief Edison has overcome in his life at the hands of a disinterested mother and a criminally, emotionally abusive father. MIKE EDISON podcast excerpt: "No matter how successful you are, no matter how much money you make, you cannot improve on meatball pizza and root beer and Elton John on the jukebox! My father never got that. He didn't know how to live in the moment." The title comes from the last statement the senior Edison said on his deathbed, in Arizona, to his son. The good news is that the man is no longer walking the earth. The bad news, as Edison writes on page 117, is that he is still only a phone call away: … the fact that, years later, his voice is still on the outgoing voice-mail message on my step-mother’s house phone does strike me as somewhat ghoulish. I can imagine it must be traumatic to erase it, but imagine how people feel hearing it? When I want to call his wife to check in – and I do – I always call her cell phone. I can’t handle the old man telling me to leave a message – or do anything, for that matter – from beyond the grave. Key interview moments: • 2:45 Mike Edison explains the title to his book, his finally "inspiration" from an abusive dad; • 18:15 Memories of eating meatball pizza at the White Birch Inn in Metuchen, New Jersey; • 35:30 Parents, you know those dirty books you think the kids don't know about on your nightstand? You're wrong. "I went on to become a pornographer!" Edison says. "I went to write Penthouse letters!"

In this brief series on Advent, Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us face the shame we feel from failing to meet expectations - those others have of us, and those we have of ourselves. Not all shame is proportionate to our failure, but when shame rightly fits our shortcoming, what do we do? The joy of Christ's first arrival gives us hope for His return. Because Christ in His mercy took away our shame at His first coming, we can look to Him with confidence at His return.

Failed Expectations, Part 1, in the series: Providence

Our daily expectations of how life should proceed or how people should behave, is one of our major sources of anger. For, whenever things tend to not go as we expect - the noise level from our neighbors, the quality of service from the restaurant, the behavior of our kids, the speed of traffic, etc. - we too often become agitated and occasionally erupt in a rage. At the heart of this attitude is self-centeredness, where we are attempting to control the world and people to conform to our vision of life. Our anger is intended to drive people and events into submission. The truth is that we will never be successful with such an agenda, and ultimately it will just cause rebellion and greater strife. Conversely, by assuming a posture of empathy and prayerful assessment, we are able to look beyond our own agenda and toward the needs of others ... in doing so, our anger centered on unfair judgment and self-centeredness is relieved and it is replaced by grace and freedom.
