“Expecting more from people than they are capable of giving is a recipe for frustration. You cannot expect someone to give you something they have never been given themselves.”
The Trench Reality:
Evaluate Your Discipline
Stop holding onto toxic resentment because someone isn’t treating you the way you expect. Their background is different, their baseline is different, and their mind simply does not calculate reality the way yours does. If you hold grudges against someone who lacks the capacity to give what you need, you are running on empty.
God’s plan works, and you don’t get where you’re going unless you continue. I am celebrating 11 years of sobriety because I chose to stand on objective truth instead of running away from the front lines.
The Command: Drop the shield of your own pride. Evaluate your own thinking patterns before demanding compliance from others. You can do it too. Let’s do the work.
