Living a life of expectancy is a new lifestyle. It will take some getting used to - but once you do, it becomes a happy habit. And it becomes natural to you because the benefits of it are so wonderful. One way to infuse this new way of living is to change your physiology. What I mean by that is to change the way you walk and talk. When a person is feeling sad it's easy to see. The shoulders are slumped, often the head is down, there is no smile. . . And we often don't want to be around this person - put them in a group of others and they can bring down the energy of the whole room.
But if you lift your head up. stand tall and proud, walk with a purposeful stride, speak clearly and with confidence and carry a big smile - you can't help but feel good, even if you started out feeling blue. And everyone around you will be infected with some sort of good feeling. And if other people are infected, believe me, the energy around you has already been infected.
Walk and talk with pride, confidence and full expectancy. And you will see more, greater and better showing up in your life.
The Master Teacher said "keep on . . .
And I'll remind you again to be patient with it - it takes time to adapt to this new way of thinking and living. So don't get discouraged and in the meantime make it a game. Keep a log of how often things show up in your life that you might normally not have expected.
When you incorporate the power of expectancy in your life, your ultimate goal is for it to become your way of living, thinking and being. The ultimate goal is to reach the point where you have no doubts, no fears, no hesitations. A place where you always have high expectations about yourself and about life.
Total expectancy allows you to be free to use your imagination and problem solving abilities to their highest potential. The Ultimate goal is to reach a place in your life where you have no limits on your thinking. And when you have no limits on your thinking, you place no limits on God. When you take the limits off God, everything then becomes possible.
I like to tell people that God is not a genie in a bottle. Many people have a misunderstanding of how Universal Power works. It is a mistake to believe that you can just pray and God is going to grant your wishes. The thing we need to understand is that God, (Life, the Universe), will only give us or do for us what we allow. If we don't let Universal Power to operate within us, then what we desire will not come to pass.
That is why I say take the limits off God. Take the restraints, chains and shackles off your mind, your thinking, your living, so that Life/The Universe/God can do the work you want it to do for you and through you.
Once you embrace these thought patterns; these habits and reactions that equal living a life of expectancy - life will be absolutely wonderful for you.
►Expect that you will accomplish your mission.
►Expect that you will achieve your goals.
►Expect that you will have what you want, need and desire out of life.
To expect anything less is to defeat yourself before you even get started.
Remember, you are an ambassador of the Universe, a special one of a kind creation, an heir to the greatest kingdom of all. But you also have a mission. and in your mission, you are not alone. The powers of God, the Universe and Spirit are all waiting for you to plug in, download what you need and do the work you are here to do. And all creation is in your corner, cheering for you, wanting you to succeed.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
