"If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome"

This quote by Michael Jordan is a suggestion to not let the expectations of others define our lives. It is necessary to recognize that we have the power to form our own fate and that we ought to not be restricted by the expectations of others. By accepting the expectations of others, especially negative ones, we are essentially quiting our power to produce our own future. We are allowing others to determine our lives and restrict our capacity. Rather, we ought to strive to create our own expectations and objectives and work towards attaining them. We ought to not hesitate to challenge the expectations of others and aim to create our own course. By doing so, we can develop a future that is special to us which we can be pleased with.
