Expect the Best !

There is a universal law that whatever you expect, you tend to attract. That's why many of us don't get the result we want. We may desire the best, but how many of us really think it's possible? How many of us consistently expect the best?

Throughout the early years of your life you may have learnt to expect the worst. It may have been because your parents were like that and you've adopted the same manner of thinking. Or, it could simply be a negative attitude. But, that too, could have been picked up by associating with someone else.

Or maybe you've developed negative expectations because of past bad experience. Because things have turned out unfavourably before, you believe that they'll continue to be bad. Because you failed before, you find it that much harder to believe that you can succeed the next time round.

But to desire prosperity and success in life, but yet, always expecting misfortune, or to be continually doubting our ability to get what we truly want, is like trying to reach east by traveling west.

A person cannot consistently doubt his or her ability to succeed, and then succeed. These thoughts of doubts will always attract failure.

When you are faced with a difficult circumstance do you expect the worst or the best? Whatever we expect we attract. If it's your habit to always expect the worst you're simply adding fuel to the fire, creating more negative circumstances that will create more negative expectations on your part.

Your beliefs and expectations are the driving force behind your behaviors and your results. If your expectations are fear driven, they will impair your normal functioning and keep you from making positive and long lasting changes in your life.

The good news is, your beliefs and expectations are just habits. Whatever reasons you have developed these habits, if you want to truly change your results, you must, absolutely change your habits of expectation and learn to expect the best.

Like I said before, the reason we possess positive, or negative expectations, is simply due to habits.

A large part of our current circumstances, whether they be positive or negative, are a result of our faith, belief and expectations. If we want to change our circumstances, then obviously, we need to change our faith, belief and expectations.
