Your immediate and long-term success depends upon your desire, emotion, and action.

How do you define success?

Success in life can mean a number of things to different people. Some chase fame, many want material goods, while others pursue the peace and harmony that results from spiritual attainment. Nevertheless, no matter how diverse success is defined, there are three essential ingredients necessary for a life of personal achievement. Desire, emotion, and action are powerful forces that can lead a person to achieve the ultimate success in their life. 

Desire, a deep burning desire for your goal can help you achieve the seemingly unachievable.

In Napoleon Hill’s writing’s, he clearly believed that desire was critical for achieving success. However, it must be a burning desire, a desire for fulfillment that takes over your entire life and you simply must reach the goal desired in your mind in spite of any and all obstacles.

Belief in achieving your goal is not enough to achieve your goal.

Although people may believe they have an intense desire for their goal, they never realize what they’re after. They let excuses get in their way. They don’t have the money needed to start a new business or they don’t possess the knowledge or the time just isn’t right. They allow their present circumstances to rob them of their desire. 

Excuses can dose your burning desire to reach your goal.

When you feel that your burning desire is waning, it is crucial to rekindle the flame and remain focused upon the end goal, and not allow excuses to take away your need for success.

The intensity of your emotions helps you achieve what you desire most in this life.

The second part of the equation is having emotions for the goal you want to achieve. The intensity of your emotions helps you get around, over, or under the obstacles that can be put between you and your goal. Positive emotions of faith, abundance, enthusiasm, expectancy, passion, and gratitude change your psychological and physiological Self.

Your outer world mirrors your inner world.

Just think when you’re sad: your outside mirrors your inside since there’s no hiding your true Self. Now, think when you’re happy: you feel good on the inside and your outer Self reflects that good feeling as you walk tall and confident. You are harmonious with the universe and your goal.

Harmony between your goals and your thoughts manifests your goals.

In turn, being in harmony with the Natural Laws opens up the floodgates of the universe to bring together the people, the circumstances, and the right moment for your personal success. So, look in that mirror and get those emotions out, they’re crucial for personal success.

Action is often missed; you cannot achieve your goals through inaction.

Even though one’s desires and emotions are in harmony, a goal can never be accomplished unless you take action. Actions produce results that bring success. It’s clear that the little things done consistently bring about huge results over time.

Plan what action you will take daily to reach your goal.

In order to achieve your goals, plan daily and be sure to do the most important thing needed on a daily basis to succeed. It’s wise to start your day off on a positive note and write down what you need to do that day to get closer to your dreams.    

Manifest your goals through desire, emotion, and action…it’s the Law.

No matter how you look at life, a healthy dose of desire, emotion, and action will result in the manifestations of your goals.

Develop a deep sense of appreciation for everything and everybody that enters into your life, no matter the consequences.

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world

Everything that occurs within your outer world is a reflection of your inner world as a result of each one of us being under a sundry of Natural Laws. This must be the case since the universe around us is created as such: there is order and not chaos due to many Laws acting as the sacred glue.

Energy permeates the universe and is the glue that binds all together

As well as these Laws, the universe consists of a field of energy that permeates every nook and cranny. This energy is found within every space and within every object, from the largest galaxies and the smallest particles; hence, everything large and small must be under the same Laws. These Natural Laws are immutable, they are constant and can never change from what they are or our universe would cease to exist. 

A web of energy, which is neither positive nor negative, surrounds each of us and all things.

As the founding legends of many of our ancient peoples indicate, we are surrounded by a web or net of energy. This seething mass of energy, unlike electrical energy which is either positive or negative, is neutral. A neutral field means that it is non-judgmental; thus, an event or circumstance is neither good nor bad, it just is. Knowing the properties of the field, how can we benefit from this energy found in a neutral universe? It is shown that our emotions stimulate this energy which then responds to us as a mirror reflects our image back to us.

Our emotions result in actions and events, and therefore, consequences.

As a result, when we channel our prevailing emotions into the vortex of energy we must receive back what we send forth originally. Now, this being the case, we must ask how does appreciating everything that occurs within our life impact our past, present, and future. 

The past is not our present or future unless we let it influence our thoughts, actions, and words.

Although we cannot return to our past, many are held back by past failures. For example, if a relationship did not work out we are reluctant to give our heart away again fearing that we will be hurt one more time. However, focusing upon past failures cannot help, it will only hurt. Rather than dwell upon the misfortunes of that relationship, develop a deep appreciation of what you experienced.

Don’t weep over loss; rather, learn from it to grow spiritually, intellectually, and financially.

Instead of condemning your loss, ask questions that help you understand how you benefited from the loss. In the end, it appears that we are able to grow when we face difficulties and we are given these tests by the Source only when we can handle them. Hence, let’s not look at these troubles as failures, rather, as platforms for spiritual growth.  

Control over our emotions manifests a different present and future.

Now that we know emotions are the stimuli of natural energy, we must control the emotions that dominate our life. Therefore, if we live in an unpleasant present, we must accept it as it is with full knowledge that we and we alone create the cause and we also can manifest the change of our present circumstances. Do not feel malice towards your job, spouse, anyone, or anything else since you will not be able to escape the now with such negativity. Negative emotions such as malice, fear, and hate can only produce more negatives in your life.  

We are creators and not passive observers of our life.

It is our present emotions that manifest our future. Science points out that we are creators and participants within our mighty cosmos and not just passive observers. Have complete faith that you have control over your future and when you change your emotions you change your future. Your emotions will manifest the persons and things required to achieve what you desire.

Harness your emotions to create a wondrous future.

We are bound or released from our circumstances by our own emotions. We must truly appreciate our dreadful past and our unpleasant present in order to live an incredible future.

The money you have in your pocket is the manifestation of the thoughts you have in your mind.

Is modern-day economic survival really that difficult?

It’s not very difficult to think about a life of poverty, a lack of opportunity, or an absence of hope in our modern-day world. The media portrays doom and gloom at every opportunity they possibly can. There’s the meltdown on Wall Street, the bankruptcies of major corporations, and the recession which threatens the world. Still, there are many people who will continue to thrive in spite of these economic times and you must be one of them, nevertheless, it all starts with your mindset. 

There is abundance everywhere, still, you need to open your eyes, heart, and soul to this universal truth

One of the Natural Laws found within our cosmos is The Law of Abundance. Clearly, as we look around us there is abundance, there is an unlimited abundance, even the universe itself is ever-expanding as time unfolds. There is lots for everyone and you cannot lose something so another person gains something.

You will not gain as others lose; the Law of Abundance doesn’t operate that way

And the opposite is true as well since you will not gain as another loses. The abundance of the universe is ours to have and enjoy and even though one supply should cease to exist another supply is created. This is the nature of the Law of Abundance.

Negative thoughts, words, and actions are contagious

When you have your Monday morning coffee at the office, notice how the general conversation moves to the current situation in the world. Most workers are in a state of fear, panic, and anxiety since they might be the next person who faces the axe from the boss. This kind of thinking is contagious and infectious to all those that subscribe to it and nothing good can ever come of it.

Your thoughts, words, and actions manifest your dream or your nightmare

These negatives sap your energy, take away your creativity, and can cause mental and physical ailments. How can a mindset of poverty, lack, and fear ever lead a person out of their current situation? And, this mindset even drives to them what consumes their mind.

Feel, see, and touch a world of abundance inside your mind, body, and soul

In order to thrive financially, set aside the current economic turmoil within the outer world and replace it with an inner world of abundance. It might be difficult to see plenty since we are constantly being inundated by any number of negatives from the media. Still, in a universe where order is the rule and not the exception and where our inner thoughts must manifest in the outer world, we do have complete control over our future.

You have complete control over your thoughts, words, and actions…watch what they are very carefully

Therefore, based upon the Natural Laws, if you think abundance, you will see the abundance around you and you will attract abundance which then must manifest abundance for you. This is the Law. In spite of these tough times, when you maintain a mindset of abundance and plenty, you can only attract and retain plenitude in your life. Continually keep your thoughts focused upon abundance and your pockets will be overflowing, even in such troubled times.

The ‘Woulda’, ‘Shoulda’, ‘Coulda’ dilemma can rob you of a life of success.

Did I accomplish too much in my life?

When a person is taking their last breath on this earth, I wonder who would think that they had accomplished far too many things in their life? Of course not, unfortunately, it’s just the opposite where most would believe that they didn’t achieve all that they wanted in their life. However, there are a few things you can do to get the most out of your life.   

Unfulfilled dreams are those that have slipped away

You’ve probably heard it all before: I woulda’ been a great doctor; I shoulda’ finished my degree; I coulda’ traveled the world. These people have unfulfilled dreams that were once important and worthy of achievement, however, for whatever reason have slipped away with time.

We spend more time planning our vacation than our life

If you have a goal, but, never make an effort to reach it, what holds you back? When you ask most people this question, ‘How much time do you spend planning your next vacation?’ the answer will probably not surprise you. Then follow-up this question with, ‘How much time do you spend planning your life?’ Unfortunately, most spend more time planning their next vacation than their life with only 5% of the people ever writing down (and achieving) their goals.

Create a long list of goals; how to achieve them at this point isn’t important

With this in mind, create your personal goal list and write down what you want to achieve in your life. This should be a spontaneous list and you should write down a minimum of 50 things you want to accomplish.

Rank your goals of importance to you

Then break the goals down to the most important, your Number 1 goal, Number 2 and so on. Next, break down your No. 1 goal to a daily to do list. Finally, after a period of time, you can review the past 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to see what has been accomplished. With this action plan, you will quickly see where you are at and where you want to be. 

Don’t wait until everything is perfect, it might not happen

Remember, you don’t have to be an expert to achieve your goals and you certainly don’t have to wait until everything is perfect to accomplish what you want in your life either. What you need to do is set a goal and to take action, however small, to move towards your goal. Let’s hope that you’re not sitting in a rocking chair one day and thinking about your own wouldas’, shouldas’ or couldas’.

Your blueprint for success must include awareness, decisiveness, and thankfulness

Photo by George Hiles on Unsplash

You need a destination before you start your journey

You can compare your life to a road trip: as you travel along, you must navigate around potholes, cross over bridges, and go through tunnels. If you plan to journey across the country, you would not just pack up your car, fill it up with gas, and point it down the road without a final destination.

Where’s my roadmap?

No doubt, you would take the time to find a roadmap that shows you how to arrive at your final destination. If you take such meticulous effort to plan leisure time, why not take the time to find a roadmap for a successful life?  

A blueprint for your life can help you succeed

On a road trip, you need a map and on your life’s journey, you need a blueprint. One succeeds at life by having a blueprint that has been proven to be successful by others through time, trial, and observation. After many years of experimenting with this idea, I’m suggesting the following as part of your plan for success: you need awareness, decisiveness, and thankfulness to achieve big goals in your life. 

Awareness of our creative powers changes our emotions and ultimately, our results

Many believe that they are powerless and insignificant in the universe. As a result of these feelings, they believe they have no control over their future, and thus, over their results. However, modern-day science is proving that we are both participants and creators within our cosmos. When we are truly aware of our power over our own destiny, naturally, our emotions change. As our emotions change, then our results change.

Use your intuition to make decisions quickly and change decisions slowly

Once you have awareness, you now need to have decisiveness. Many people fail in life because they cannot make a decision. They change their minds as they change their socks. Or, they hope with all hope that someone else will make their decisions for them. Research has shown that achievers make their decisions quickly and then change their decisions slowly, if at all. They react on their intuition since their gut feelings lead them rather than being led by the crowd or circumstances. As you acquire decisiveness, you must move closer to your goals.

Thankfulness for your present will change your future

Thankfulness for wherever or whatever you are at the present moment is critical for success. If you find that you have not achieved what you wish, you still must show your thankfulness. It is imperative to show sincere thankfulness since the universe mirrors back your emotions. If you send out emotions of lack, need, or want, you can only receive the same back in your life.   

Success is the result of your awareness, decisiveness, and thankfulness

When you are aware of your power, when you can make a decision, and when you show thanks, you have the blueprint to make your life a success. Follow these suggestions to achieve the life you desire.

We move towards our goals while being in a state of relaxation; we cannot move towards our goals in a state of agitation.

Emotions can be either positive or negative; however, the results of our emotions are very different

We are constantly being told by personal development experts that we must keep our eyes upon our goals and then pursue them with emotions in our hearts. This is well and true…our emotions can be a positive that leads us to our goals, however, they can be a negative that leads us away from our desires as well.

Emotions that interface with actions manifest HUGE results

Emotions are the super-fuel that powers us to our goals and we must have our emotions interface with our actions to produce big results. Just think of the opposite; a half-hearted attempt at being the best salesperson or an uninspired public speaker delivering a message, it just doesn’t seem possible to achieve much without emotions. In the end, emotions are the catalyst to success. 

Control of our emotions is key to our success or our failure

While emotions are critical for success, we must be aware of our controlling emotions. I don’t mean to throw away all your emotions, it is important to have intense emotions for your goal. It’s the negative feelings and thoughts that are detrimental to success; for example, if you are anxious, this emotion can only drive a goal farther away.

Anxiety and a lack of faith cannot possibly manifest your dreams

When you’re anxious, this means you fear that you will not achieve your goal. And when you have no faith in the Natural Laws and no belief in yourself, you cannot attract that which you desire most in your life.

Your personal barriers can and will come down with positive emotions such as faith and surrender

The key then is to pursue your goals with emotions, positive emotions, and not allow the negatives to occupy your mind and build barriers to your goals. It has been written that faith can move mountains, in contrast, a lack of faith can keep you exactly where you are at this moment. Give in to the Creator of the universe to get what you want.

Have a strong belief that you have already achieved your set goals before they happen

It is important that you have 100% belief in your own ability to achieve success. That’s not to say we must be arrogant about our own talents, rather, we must believe without a doubt that we are capable and will succeed in our pursuits.

Each goal is in your mind before it’s in your hand

Act as if you already have your goal: smell the leather of that car interior or take an imaginary walk around your expansive new house. At first, you must have the goal in your mind, and then it appears in your hand. 

Harmony and gratitude are crucial to your success

Expressing gratitude to the universe will manifest two positives. First, you are relaxed since you are genuinely thankful for what you have achieved to the moment. Second, the universe acknowledges your harmonious state and returns more of the same energy back to you.

The universe will deliver your desires and wants as a result of your positive emotions

Positive emotions act as powerful magnets that attract your goal to you while negative emotions repel your goals farther and farther away from you. Be calm and receive what is truly yours and what the universe wants to deliver to you.

Celebrate disharmony in your life

Is disharmony an evil or the unawareness of being in disharmony the real evil?

Volumes have been written about the evils of disharmony in our lives. Disharmony occurs when our thoughts, our wants, and our actions are incongruent, and thus, contradictory to the Natural Laws of the universe. This idea has been supported by others who believe that being in a state of disharmony can never bring you happiness; being inharmonious with the Law is a sign of failure; and being out of sync with the Natural Laws can only produce more of what you have at the present moment.

Being unaware of disharmony is the real state of tragedy in your life

In spite of these words, I believe that the evil is not being in a state of disharmony, but, not recognizing it nor doing anything about it. In the end, disharmony should be used to work for you in your pursuit of success.

Our present manifests from our past thoughts, actions and words

Our present circumstances are the results of our past thoughts, actions, and words. If we have made changes in our life, it is because we have maintained certain thoughts and then have taken specific actions. However, if we have not made changes in our thoughts, we have not made any changes in our actions or words, and then our circumstances will surely remain the same.

How can we define a disharmonious state of being?

Let’s consider when a person is in debt, accepts their situation, and does nothing to get out of debt; are they not in a harmonious situation? You are not in a disharmonious state when you are in debt and do nothing about it; you are not in a disharmonious state when you are in a bad relationship and take no action to change things. You are in a harmonious state as your thoughts, actions, and words thus, your circumstances are one in the same.

A heightened state of awareness results in personal growth

On the other hand, when you are in a disharmonious state and realize your true situation, you are in a heightened state of awareness, a true connection with your spirituality, and this is a positive situation to be in. Since you understand that you are thinking one thing and doing just the opposite, you will experience personal growth and achieve your goal.

Recognize disharmony to find true success

It’s important to recognize disharmony and get to work to change things. Think back in your own life to see what fear, what discomfort you escaped as a result of making changes in your thinking and your actions. Don’t we study to have a better education to make more money? Don’t we start our own business to become self-fulfilled?  How can we realize personal growth if not for disharmony?

Chaos always proceeds growth

Chaos always precedes growth. And when you understand that you’re in a state of disharmony, this is the beginning of change and the beginning for taking action and making advances towards your goal. Embrace disharmony in your life as your springboard to success.

Do what you fear to do.

Fear is a Dream Stealer

Fear is the masterful thief of success. Fear is larceny of the mind. Fear is the tether that binds you to your present unpleasant situation. Fear is our Number 1 killer of dreams as we allow this negative emotion to consume our everyday life and steal wonderful opportunities from our very fingertips.

Energy mirrors negative or positive emotions, feelings, and thoughts

Science indicates that we inhabit a world that is surrounded by a field of energy, energy which appears to mirror back to us what emotions we feed into it. And this web of energy does not judge the input and does not judge the output. Thus, if we feed positive emotions into the field, we receive positive results back into our life.

Emotions can free us or shackle us

The same holds true when we feed negative emotions into the field, we can only receive back negative results. As a result of not having what we could identify as a conscience, this field of energy manifests what we want in life, either the most or the least. Hence, there is no escaping the emotions that dominate our life. 

Eliminate fear to live your ideal life

Even though fear is a formidable opponent, you can conquer it by being aware of it and taking steps to eliminate it in your life. Think back upon some of the most adventurous times in your life, that first ride on a two-wheeler without the training wheels. Or, that first kiss with your adolescent sweetheart. No doubt, most of us were apprehensive about taking that first step into the unknown. Even though fear consumed us, we went ahead and jumped onto the seat or awkwardly puckered our lips. Then we just did it and a sense of accomplishment immediately vanquished our fears. 

Fear lingers deep within us…we must revisit it to eliminate it

Why does fear preoccupy our lives? It must be past conditioning, thus, if we failed once or twice at love or business we are still being haunted by the outcome. Those feelings of failure still linger in the recesses of our mind and hold us back from success. However, we must revisit those experiences from a different perspective and learn from them.

What does fear tell me about me?

Question why things happened as they did? What could I have done differently? What did I learn about myself? Errantly, we judge our future success by our past, and if our past is riddled with failure, we then feel fear of success. In the end, we must look at our triumphs and not at our failures to gauge our self-worth.

Focus upon past conquests not upon past failures

When we focus upon our past conquests and not our past failures, this builds confidence and rids our lives of fear. And to reiterate, we do receive what we want or fear the most.  The universe is intelligence which reacts to our emotions and when we feel fear we can only receive what we fear into our lives.

Fear can and does impact your physical, economic, and spiritual life

Fear can destroy your health, your wealth, and your Self. You must be aware that this negative emotion, above all others, can bring despair to your life. Still, when you do the thing that you fear the most, your circumstances will change as this negative emotion is pushed out of your life.

Approach FEAR head-on.

Climb that mountain. Run that race. Start that business.

We must make a conscious decision to gain, retain, and sustain control over our thoughts.

Photo by MAX at unsplash.com

Our thoughts are priceless

Our most valuable possessions are not parked in our driveways, are not worn on our wrists, and certainly are not the walls that surround us when we sleep at night. Our most valuable possessions are the thoughts that swirl around in our mind. Although these are the most precious things we have in life, many neglect their thoughts like a gardener who lets weeds take-over his land.

Control of our thoughts creates success

Since it is our thoughts and our thoughts alone that lead us to success or failure, we must learn to be in control of our thoughts and not let the weeds of fear, jealousy, poverty, envy and self-deprecation dominate our thinking. If we let these negatives rule our spiritual world, we can only expect to have more of the same in our physical world.

Gain control of your thoughts as the first step in your journey

In order to be successful, it is important to gain control over the thoughts that we harbor within our minds. Many may not believe that they have control over their thoughts. However, we have been given the choice by our Creator to let our thoughts control us or for us to control our thoughts. If we don’t gain control of our inner world, we are like a ship that is being tossed about on the open ocean. We are pulled one way and then pushed in another.

How can we gain control of our most precious gift?

Yet, we can gain control by consciously deciding upon what we constantly think about. If a negative appears, replace it with a positive; two thoughts cannot occupy our minds at the same time.

Retaining control over your thoughts is the next step towards your success

After we have come to the realization that we can gain control of our thoughts, we must now be able to retain that control or we will slip back into our old habits as the negatives quietly creep back into our minds. In our day-to-day activities, it can be difficult to retain control over our mind: there are always negative colleagues complaining about the company or the nightly news explaining about the latest downturn in the economy.

Negativity is all around us, however, don’t let the darkness take control

Doom and gloom is nothing new. Still, if we are constantly monitoring our thoughts and make adjustments when necessary, we can retain control of the most valuable asset we have.

Sustaining your thoughts is the final step in your journey

Successfully controlling your thoughts can only be short term if you aren’t able to sustain that control over a lifetime. Over a period of time, we develop a habit…either good or bad.

It’s a conscious effort

Your conscious efforts to control your thoughts will change into an automatic response and keep you on course like an automatic pilot within the latest jetliners or cruise control in your vehicle. Be patient and let time work for you. 

Be careful what you plant…you can only harvest the same as what you sow

Be aware that planting a positive seed within your mind will produce a harvest of fruit within your life. Only allow what you want to enter within your mind since you have the control to do so.

I think that we’re all done with 2020. Most would want this past year in their rearview mirror.

“Positive expectancy is the driving force that changes problems to solutions, difficulties to possibilities, and adversities to opportunities.” Roger Kenworthy

This past year has been difficult for may of us, however, we cannot lose sight of the fact that we can come out on the other side of this pandemic much stronger if we look at our problems as solutions, our difficulties into possibilities, and our adversities into opportunities.

Roadblocks are not meant to end our desires; rather, they are there to instruct us.

When we set out to accomplish big goals and big dreams, we often run into roadblocks that appear to stop us from achieving what we truly desire in life. However, these are mere detours set before us to test our resolve. Although we encounter problems, difficulties, and adversities along the path to success, The Law of Expectancy can turn these into solutions, possibilities, and opportunities.

You will only achieve what you expect to achieve.

The Law of Expectancy will bring about big changes in your life as a result of your mental attitude. Because you achieve what you expect to achieve, according to the Law, your attitude sets off a chain reaction to bring about your success. So, we have thoughts of success that cause us to react in a positive manner which draws all the people and circumstances that are necessary to achieve what we want.  

Failures manifest victories if you persist and not surrender your goals

Thomas Edison certainly had the Law on his side when it took him over 10,000 attempts to discover the incandescent light bulb. And The Law was working for Sly Stallone when scores of Hollywood studios turned down his script about a prize fighter from Philadelphia. In spite of repeated failure and rejection, these men had an attitude of victory and not of defeat which helped them get around, through, and over the obstacles that were stopping them from achieving their ultimate goal.  

Positive Expectancy is a key component of your success

It must be said that the opposite is true as well, if we think we can’t then we certainly can’t reach our goals. This is evident with many people: on the surface, it looks like they should attain whatever they strive for. They plan their goal, are sure to be positive in life, and do all the right stuff, however, unless they have positive expectancy, chances are they will not reach their goal no matter how long or how hard they try. This is self-sabotage. And as they continue to sabotage their efforts on an unconscious level, they are not even aware of what or why they don’t achieve the success they want out of life. 

Clearly define your goal, visualize your results, take consistent action, and remain in a positive state of vibration.

The Law will provide for you if you do the following: have a clearly defined goal, visualize your results before they occur, never lose sight of your goal, take consistent action towards your goal, and remain in a positive state of mind. 

Expectancy of success PLUS positive thoughts will manifest your desires

Even though you maintain positive thoughts towards your goal and your success, it is not enough just to be positive. More importantly, you need positive expectancy to accompany optimism. You have to feel a sense of expectancy as well as think positively to succeed. Expectancy of success, coupled with positive thoughts, will manifest what you want to achieve in your life.

“Positive expectancy is the driving force that changes problems to solutions, difficulties to possibilities, and adversities to opportunities.”

When we set out to accomplish big goals and big dreams, we often run into roadblocks that appear to stop us from achieving what we truly desire in life. However, these are mere detours set before us to test our resolve. Although we encounter problems, difficulties, and adversities along the path to success, The Law of Expectancy can turn these into solutions, possibilities, and opportunities.

You can only achieve what you expect to achieve

The Law of Expectancy will bring about big changes in your life as a result of your mental attitude. Because you achieve what you expect to achieve, according to the Law, your attitude sets off a chain reaction to bring about your success. So, we have thoughts of success that cause us to react in a positive manner which draws all the people and circumstances that are necessary to achieve what we want.  

Failures lead to victories if you keep pursuing your goals

Thomas Edison certainly had the Law on his side when it took him over 10,000 attempts to discover the incandescent light bulb. And The Law was working for Sly Stallone when scores of Hollywood studios turned down his script about a prize fighter from Philadelphia. In spite of repeated failure and rejection, these men had an attitude of victory and not of defeat which helped them get around, through, and over the obstacles that were stopping them from achieving their ultimate goal.  

Positive Expectancy is the driving force for your success

Have a clearly defined goal, visualize your results, take consistent action, and remain positive to achieve your goals

The Law will provide for you if you do the following: have a clearly defined goal, visualize your results before they occur, never lose sight of your goal, take consistent action towards your goal, and remain in a positive state of mind. 

Optimism, when married to Positive Expectancy, manifests your desires.

Even though you maintain positive thoughts towards your goal and your success, it is not enough just to be positive. More importantly, you need positive expectancy to accompany optimism. You have to feel a sense of expectancy as well as think positively to succeed. Expectancy of success, coupled with positive thoughts, will manifest what you want to achieve in your life.
