You can't hold someone else to a standard they don't hold themselves to.
Ever found yourself frustrated because someone didn't meet your expectations? In this episode of Inside The Mirror, Kyle David dives into why holding others to your own standards can lead to disappointment and frustration. He shares personal insights on the importance of clear communication to bridge these gaps. Kyle begins by acknowledging our natural tendency to expect others to do what seems 'right'. However, he points out that not everyone shares the same values or priorities.
What’s important to you might not even be on someone else's radar. This mismatch can create unnecessary tension in relationships. Kyle uses a relatable analogy: building a house. Imagine two builders with different expectations and standards. If they don’t communicate, the project could end in chaos. But with clear communication, they can collaborate effectively and create something that satisfies both. This principle, Kyle argues, applies to all interpersonal relationships.
He also touches on the education system, sharing his own struggles with feeling pigeonholed by letter grades. Kyle advocates for a more personalized approach that recognizes and nurtures each student's unique strengths and talents. He believes that the current system often fails to do this, leading many to feel undervalued or misunderstood. Towards the end, Kyle briefly mentions the fast-changing world of cryptocurrency, hinting at a deeper dive into this topic in future episodes.
This episode is a quick yet impactful listen that encourages you to rethink how you manage your expectations of others. By communicating openly and understanding that everyone has different priorities, you can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
