The Bar is Too High

Have you ever let things get to the point where people have expectations of you that scare you?

Within my time interviewing and working at Grace Fellowship, I have come to realize that people who have seen me speak in front of a crowd noticed that I didn't use notes.

It gets a little scary that people who haven't seen me speak to a crowd, but are on staff, have heard from others that I have a good memory.

I feel the bar has been set too high. The thing is, most of the time, I won't need/use notes when I speak, but there will be times I know they'll be necessary.

I'm already scared of those times. I feel like people have this expectation, after just a short period, that I won't have the necessity of notes.

I hope my memory can keep pace for a while, but I think the bar has been set too high.
