Positive Expectationalism

Technology

A great strong machine. That’s what expectation is; it projects outcomes. Project positive ones. You can easily predict the results of expectational statements like this: ‘It won’t work out,’ ‘I’ll get nervous,’ ‘I won’t know what to say.’ We hear them often but the irony is people’s surprise when the results match the statement. That’s why people don’t get what they want—they expected not to.

Think of the expectation process as robustly active. Instead of making a sigh and resigning yourself to an unpleasant outcome (as though you have to accept what someone else gave you), decide a new robust outcome you are manifesting.

This is the expectation machine. Think about the different results we’d get from these statements: “I’ll find my way and be engaged” and “Abundance is everywhere.”

Deliberately using expectation is like shoveling coal into the locomotive’s furnace. They say we get what we focus on—what we throw coal on. What do you throw coal on?
