John C. Maxwell Expectations Quotations

Negative expectations are a quick route to dead-end thinking.

The primary limitation in life is our low expectations for ourselves and others. When we expect minimum results, that's usually what we get.

If we treat people as who they can become, they will be inspired to rise to the level of our expectations.

Good people always rise to your level of expectation.

Disappointment is the gap that exists between expectation and reality.

People rise and fall to meet your level of expectations for them. If you express skepticism and doubt in others, they will return your lack of confidence with mediocrity. But if you believe in them and expect them to do well, they will go the extra mile trying to do their best.
