A ME-ist to a WE-ist: How We Can Change the World One Person at a Time

CHAPTER 3

Don’t Judge Others

It’s difficult to become a We-ist when you’re plagued with being judgmental of other’s behaviour for their selfish ways or actions; your colleagues taking too long lunchbreaks; a overweight runner on the treadmill at the gym; or ‘they’ are always disagreeing with your decisions. Let’s face it; we all lose our patience with the way our friends and family members act at times. Is it realistic to be completely judgment free? Perhaps, the best we can do is to be vigilant and work on damage control. If we realize even a slight improvement in our Self and the number of times we judge those around us, isn’t this walking on the correct path to real change? Therefore, it appears to me that judging others provides the potential to experience real growth in your life as you make strides to be less judgmental in those situations. When we judge others and their behaviour, are we judging them or are we judging our self? The Dean of Personal Development, Earl Nightingale, believes that we are holding up a mirror of our Self because “judging someone does not define who they are; it defines who we are.” It might be our own insecurities that prompt our judgmental words, actions, and thoughts.

            So, as we judge our colleagues for taking those extra minutes for their lunch, are we looking at our own behaviour and our own (in)ability to control our time? Or, as we frown inside when we see that fat runner on the treadmill, are we worrying about our own bodies becoming overweight as the years in our lives add up? Perhaps, when we judge our partner who questions or disagrees with every decision we make in life, we have innate fear that we are making the wrong decision, but this fear manifests as judging the other person’s reaction to us? In the end, a recent blog by Shola (2017), sums up what is brewing within our minds as we criticize the actions and words of those around us; “usually, we harshly judge others because we do the same to ourselves.” Isn’t this the truth? Accordingly, when I judge someone for being late for an appointment, I’m really saying that my way is the correct way, the only way, to live life and there’s little tolerance for not living up to my standards of behaviour.

            Our judgment of other’s actions and words act to reinforce our own core values, beliefs, and assumptions that ultimately, create our reality. As we pass judgment, we are able to comprehend how ‘their’ core values, beliefs, and assumptions fit in with ours. Here’s the problem; according to Dutta (2017), “everything in life looks morally incorrect and wrong, until we do that thing ourselves. What we don’t do ourselves is often unacceptable to our mind.” If different, we build a wall between us; if similar we build bridges. We may see that judging others negatively, who are different than we are, is morally and ethically wrong, but still, it is difficult to change our thoughts, words, and actions. If we see our own prejudices as they are, we must live with those or even more alarming, we must change to be more accepting of those who values and beliefs of life are not the same as ours.    

When we judge others, we add negative energy to our inner and outer world. Do we need to increase negative energy with the state our world is in at this moment? I don’t believe so; to make changes in our lives and our world we need to live with more positive thoughts, words, and actions which will create more positive energy. Once again, here’s a wonderful opportunity for personal growth in your life. We cannot live within a realm of negative and positive energy at the same time; it’s scientifically impossible. So, it’s either one or the other and we have complete control over what state of energy we live within. Since judging our family members, colleagues, and friends is mired in negative energy, it simply is not possible to add to the greater good of the planet when we judge others. There is no way that anyone can rationalize being judgmental helps the Me-ists of the world become We-ists. Think, speak, and act positive towards those you once judged. Imagine a world where there is an abundance of understanding and positivity rather than judging and negativity.

What’s the fuss about living in a state of negative energy? There is much to be concerned about and this is proven by modern day science, not just the words of the poets or writers. The trillions of cells that comprise our body respond to our thoughts, words, and actions much the same way as they are influenced by pharmaceutical drugs and our internal juices (Pert, 2010). Stress can result from negative thoughts, words, or actions, and when this occurs, our bodies react by creating a cornucopia of chemicals that include adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol. Their release in our body is associated with surviving when trouble strikes; while helpful at the time of danger (shutting down what bodily functions are not needed, such as digestion, growth, and reproductive system), if our bodies keep producing cortisol, for example, when not required, this leads to serious damage. Klein (2013) reports that “Too much cortisol can suppress the immune system, increase blood pressure and sugar, decrease libido, produce acne, contribute to obesity and more.”  Passing judgment upon those around us draws negatives towards us, and soon we are languishing in ill-conceived chemicals that result from negative energy.

Bad things happen to good people, however, in order to move forward, we need to re-channel our negative thoughts.

Sometimes the road we’re on gets bumpy with roadblocks and potholes

As we travel along our journey, most will encounter rather rough times which can occur to ourselves, our family, our friends, or our colleagues. While we are not able to change the situation, we are able to control our reaction to the situation. With our thoughts, we can re-channel negatives into positives that are more beneficial to our mental and physical health in the long run.     

Grief is part of the healing process

When we have a loved one die from disease, taken by a sudden accident, or other unexpected trauma, naturally, we experience a great deal of grief. This is expected and is part of the healing process and getting past the terrible things that can happen to us throughout our life. However, we must not let our grief take control of our life, keep us under its control, and prevent us from living a full and productive life. 

We can accept what IS but we can’t change what WAS

Although we endure suffering and pain, we must accept what is since we cannot change what was.  Our inner resistance to the bad things that occur to us causes us more pain and we must realize that we cannot change the death of a loved one or the loss of a friend or colleague. Once we accept this fact, we can regain control of our thoughts, our feelings, and our life.

Accept grief for what it is and reject destructive coping activities

However, if we are unable to accept the grief that accompanies a tragic loss and bury our feelings in our subconscious mind, this can lead to a long list of coping mechanisms which are unhealthy and downright destructive. Being unable to cope, many have feelings of fear, anxiety and depression while others develop addictions to food, shopping, alcohol, and drugs. These choices are not good choices.  

Re-channel negative thoughts, words, and actions with positive thoughts, words, and actions

How do we then take a negative situation and put a positive spin on it? We need to re-channel our negative thoughts and actions into positive thoughts and actions. If we have a loved one die from cancer, in order to re-channel we can volunteer are at a nearby cancer center and help those who are suffering from this terrible disease.  

Forgive those who have done you wrong

Or having been betrayed by a loved one, in order to re-channel after the initial shock and disbelief, you can immediately forgive that person and see only good things happening to them in their present and future.

Regain what was lost times 10…you’ll be healthier and happier in mind, body and spirit

A close friend borrows a large sum of money and never repays it, in order to re-channel you can forgive your friend right away and then vow to regain that amount of money, plus another 25%, within 60 days.

Re-channeling creates growth of the inner you, your forever spirit

Re-channeling your negatives into positives helps you grow spiritually which then results in a happier and more fulfilled life.

Uncontrolled imagination manifests as limited possibilities – controlled imagination manifests as unlimited possibilities

Photo by Boys in Bristol Photography on Unsplash

Controlled imagination, not just imagination, unlocks unlimited possibilities

Imagination opens the door for possibilities and all we need to do is look back upon the dreamers of our times and earlier and this is apparent. For example, the vision of Henry Ford, the thoughts of Bill Gates, the imagination of George Lucas and there are many, many more great thinkers we can list to support this idea. However, a truly successful life manifests not merely from imagination, but from controlled imagination.

Uncontrolled imagination is akin to wild horses running through the grasslands of our country

Imagination is the key to success and we must rein-in our imagination to receive what is rightly ours from the benevolent Creator. One’s uncontrolled imagination can be compared to a wild horse running erratically throughout the grass lands. While this wild and beautiful spirit is wondrous to behold, it does little to help you advance to your goals.

Idol dreamers choose new goals like they change their socks, the results are then predictable

And if a person chases one goal this week and then another next week, that person is an idol dreamer and not a determined doer. Pursuing the flavor of the week can never make you successful. This must be the case since uncontrolled imagination does not allow the universe to catch-up with your ideas, with all the necessary pieces of the puzzle needed to achieve a goal before the ideas and goals change again. 

The universe requires a certain lag time, based on universal laws, to provide what is necessary to achieve your goal

There is a lag time which is necessary and cannot be circumvented with money, fame, or charm. Uncontrolled imagination can only leave you frustrated and unhappy since you can never reach your true potential.   

The fabric of your being can be changed trough controlled imagination

On the other hand, when you learn to possess controlled imagination, you have the ability to change the fabric of your destiny. You have the future in your very hands and the means to achieve what you desire. This idea correlates with the vision many experts hold of the holographic universe where we are not spectators, but creators.

Endless possibilities equal endless means to achieve your wants, dreams, and desires

Due to the malleable universe, we have the power to change what will be. In a universe where there are endless possibilities, you have the means to direct your own future. This future can be a fulfilling one or it can be a frustrating one, it all depends upon your ability to have a controlled imagination.   

DEEP FAITH is the first step to accomplishing that whish you desire

The first step to having a controlled imagination is to have complete faith in the Creator: deep faith then manifests calmness and assuredness that you will succeed. This state of mind then permits you to access the power of the universe and when you are in control of your emotions, you are in control of your imagination. There are also daily exercises to gain, retain, and sustain control over your imagination.

Your controlled imagination unites with visualization to cerate your future

A proven method is visualization which helps you to sharpen your focus upon what you desire. Hold the thoughts of your goal in your mind and think from the future about your goal.

Meditation goes hand-in-hand with a controlled imagination

Another method to help, if you lack the ability to remain fixated upon your goal, is the practice of meditation. If you cannot commit many years of training to meditate effectively, many companies have CD’s that help to focus your mind and receive the most amount of benefit. 

Your destiny is controlled by your ability to take charge of your imagination

Control your imagination – control your destiny. In a world that spins wildly and creates many diversions for success, you hold the key to your success.

Don’t let the ‘Right Now’ dilemma take control of your future

Photo by Eduardo Olszewski on Unsplash

Time is provided equally amongst the rich and poor, young and old, and educated or uneducated

It makes no difference if you are the richest or the poorest person, the happiest or the saddest person, or the most grateful or least grateful person walking on this earth, there is no getting away from the fact that we all have the same amount of time each day. While we all are given an identical amount of this precious commodity, it’s what we think about time that differentiates successful from unsuccessful people.

Time is not an evil roadblock to success…in reality, it is an ally and not an excuse to forfeit your dreams and goals

As you talk with your friends, most likely many express the fact that they have unfulfilled dreams and that TIME is the major factor that prevents them from achieving their dreams. They rationalize that TIME is the evil that builds roadblocks to their goals. As a result, as they think so they say and so they do:

I want to start an on-line business, however, ‘Right Now’ I work every week-end.

I really want to take my family on that special vacation, but, ‘Right Now’ I don’t have any spare time.

Time is malleable…it can and does accommodate the required hours to achieve your success

As these people think, and rightly so, they are creating and receiving all the conditions and circumstances to make their goals impossible to reach. They simply don’t realize that they are pushing their goals and their dreams farther away with their thoughts, words, and actions. What these same people do not understand is that time is elastic…it seems to accommodate what we want to get accomplished no matter what. Time is malleable IF we don’t believe in ill-thought up excuses.   

Singer-songwriter Harry Chapin believed most don’t take the risks required to achieve their success

The late singer-songwriter Harry Chapin believed that we should make the most of the time we have on this earth without any excuses. In an interview not long before his unfortunate death, he mentioned that many people go through life never taking any of the little risks. And since they shy away from the little risks, they miss the biggest risk of all – they haven’t tried everything they wanted and they find out that they have not lived a full life.        

Get out of bed a few minutes early every day and use that time to pursue your goals

If you want to write a book and work full-time and on week-ends as well, get up a half hour earlier each day and write a few pages. From my own experience, I wrote Voice of the Sage over several months by grabbing the short time I had before going to work and finishing my breakfast.

Set big goals and set the time to move towards your goals

After starting my day working on my goal, I was excited for hours; it was empowering. If you want to earn an on-line degree, sacrifice a set amount of time before dinner or bedtime to complete your assignments. I earned my PhD working full-time and writing a number of books by stealing an hour here and a half hour there.  

Manage your time efficiently to receive the dreams and goals you envision in your life

Like I managed to do, make the most of those few minutes that just slip away from you in your day-to-day living. And, over a few weeks or possibly months, you will see amazing results and have made progress to your goal even though you were never given any more time during your day. That’s how my twenty-plus books were completed…by taking a few minutes here and a few minutes there.

Your goals manifest not from your objective attention, instead, from your subjective attention

Photo by Austin Schmid on Unsplash

Your success is not determined by anyone else accept your Self

Some are confused when it comes to goal setting and goal achieving: these people put their faith in the success or failure of others to measure their true potential and possibility of success in their own life. However, they fail to understand that their goals must originate and manifest originally from within their inner world, their spiritual world, which is theirs and theirs alone.

Cultivate your most priced possessions…your original thoughts

Hence, since our thoughts are the starting point of all achievement, we must carefully cultivate our most precious possessions. Fortunately, our inner world can be immune from the forces of the outer world only if we make a concerted effort to protect this world from the invasion of negative and potentially dangerous thoughts and beliefs.

It is your success you must focus upon…not a mentors or friends

Many have an idea that they want to achieve great things in their life before they even make a commitment to their new idea. Yet, to develop their new Self, they look to others for support and guidance. We then see a person who wants to become an Internet marketer ask a friend who has never been successful or has never even attempted to be an Internet guru for advice.

Do not depend on others who are not successful to guide you to your success

Or, an inspired writer wants to write a best seller and asks someone, who has little experience as such, if their idea will be successful to the reading public. Needless to say, this one act of seeking advice may in and of itself crush the inspired person’s dreams for an entire lifetime. We simply cannot allow other’s objective attention to rob us of a life of happiness, health, and wealth which each of us is entitled to receive from our benevolent Creator.  

WE are responsible for creating OUR own success

While it is admirable, it is very dangerous to ask others for their opinions about a new idea which has not yet reached fruition since this kind of thinking is inconsistent with the Natural Laws that govern our universe. In the holographic world which we live, we are both responsible for and capable of creation. This act of creation starts with our own vision of what we want to become, be it a wealthy Internet guru or a prize-winning writer.

OUR thoughts, actions, and words begin the process to OUR success

As our own thoughts begin the process to achieve what we hope to achieve, the wheels are then put in motion to receive all that is needed to reach our goals. Naturally, this is a long list which includes the necessary people, circumstances, situations, and opportunities to manifest those goals.  

Subjective not objective means and methods create your dreams, wants and needs

We must accept this way as the only way to achieve our goals and not entertain or subscribe to the many objective methods in our outer world for a measure of our true potential or future success. When we have this attitude towards our future success, we have attained a higher plane of awareness which we then share with the Creator of the universe. This spiritual connection then carries us to our end goals. 

Faith helps create your wants and needs…through subjective attention.

Do not allow others or other circumstances to steal the goals you set for your life. Have faith in your ability as a creator of your dreams. In the end, it is your subjective attention that will manifest what you desire – your results can never be foreign to your original thoughts.

In order to receive something from others, we need to give something +1 back to others

Photo by Jason Dent on Unsplash

Give BEFORE you receive

Many think that they will start to give after they receive. This thought manifests from fear…fear that what they have in the present is given away and leaves them with less than what they will have in the future. Little do they realize that this reverse thinking can only lead them back to a life of want and poverty.

Your thoughts, words, and actions determine what vibrational state that you occupy

When we fear that we will lose our material wealth, we enter into a state of vibration that can only attract to us what we don’t want in life. By contrast, we can create abundance with our gifts and not create lack. Therefore, when we give freely to others, this action puts us in a creative and cooperative mode and not a competitive mode. Being in this positive state brings success to our doorways. Empires have been built upon this premise; think about the success and the philanthropy of the great motivational speaker and writer, Anthony Robbins.

Successful internet marketers know it is best to give before they receive

Here’s yet another example of how we can reach success by giving to others first before we receive what we want. The successful Internet marketers have taken this simple idea and have it down to a science. They understand the concept that they must give in order to receive. So, when you purchase their latest e-book for $39.99, they give you six free gifts worth hundreds of dollars more than your original investment. And the chances are that you will buy again from the same marketer in the future since you have received much more than what you paid for.

Give of your Self and not just give money to help others

Nevertheless, this is not just about giving money, it’s about giving of your Self. It’s about giving your time, your expertise, or of your knowledge to help others. For example, you can volunteer at a homeless shelter, conduct a fund raising event, or tutor young entrepreneurs in your hometown. In the end, it’s not about what you give, rather, it’s about how you give.

However, you must give without a scale to measure what you will receive back for your philanthropy

When you give freely of yourself or your material goods, without guilt or obligation, you receive deep joy and gratitude for what you have done. As a result, these feelings place you in a state of positive vibration which then attracts even greater benefits back to you.

Don’t think to get this I must give that…this kind of thinking will backfire on you

This is not to say that you should just give and give and not expect anything in return. I mean that you should receive, however, it certainly is not by thinking that you should get that when you give this. This kind of thinking will surely back-fire and your goals will be pushed further away and manifest as grief in the future.

Give freely to manifest positive feelings which in turn, manifest the results you are striving to attain

You get what you want in your life when you help others get what they want in their life. No one holds a scale to weigh what you get is equal to what you give. It is beyond the materials that are given. It is the positive feelings that you emit to the universe once you have freely given to others, in whatever shape or form that may be, which triggers the gates of abundance to be opened to you. Surely, when you consciously make it a point to give more to someone than what you expect back, you benefit greatly from your own unselfishness acts. this is the Law. 

It’s a WIN -WIN situation for them and you

Think about this when giving: I give something +1 to others for them to be successful which helps me to become successful. At the heart of this thinking…it’s a WIN-WIN situation.

You must not dream FOR your future, however, you must dream FROM your future.

Photo by drmakete lab on Unsplash

YOUR imagination is the pathway to YOUR success

It has been written that we must have the imagination of a child to truly be successful and achieve what we want out of life. With such abilities, we do not look upon the present as our absolute reality, rather, just a moment in our journey to our end goal.

Accept the reality that YOUR goal/success must be in YOUR mind long before it’s in YOUR hand

As well, we must think of ourselves in possession of what we truly desire at the present moment even though our goal has not yet materialized on the physical plane. And if we attach a date to our goals, we think the goal becomes more tangible. However, when we are dreaming FOR our future instead of dreaming FROM our future, I believe this kind of thinking is pushing our dreams further away from us rather than towards us.

There is a huge difference between thinking/saying FOR your future and thinking/saying FROM your future

Now, some may say that this subtle difference between FOR and FROM is a meaningless if not an entirely moot point. I disagree since the difference between winning and losing is seldom that great, especially in real situations such as sporting events. For example, the winner of the Women’s 400 meter race in the Summer 2008 Olympics won by only .02 seconds – 2/100’s of a second secured first place and victory over the second place runner. That is a blink of an eye or less!

Words do make a difference in your outcome/success

The same can be said about words, although there are subtle linguistic differences that exist between our choice of words in a given situation, it is much more since it is about your conscious and subconscious thoughts and therefore your conscious and subconscious actions that manifest from the words which you focus your attention upon. 

Somewhere in the future can be summed up by thinking/speaking FOR your future

As such, when you are thinking about your goal…let’s say a new home and even before you have achieved it, if you are thinking FOR the future you are comparing the size of your old home with your new home. You are thinking about what that new couch will look like in the corner of the living room and how the new refrigerator will fit in your new kitchen. This is a superficial means to view your goal and does little to bring you closer to your goal.

Thinking/speaking FROM your future plus your emotions and imagination equals your success

By contrast, when you live FROM the future you do so with a different lens. Thus, when you imagine your new home, you are in your home at this very moment, you are cooking dinner with your family around the dining room table talking about the day. Your emotions fuel your thoughts and you feel the excitement in the air as your family exchanges the events of the day. From this prospective, your imagination accompanied by your emotions place you in your new environment and to bring about all the needed thoughts and actions to manifest your home.  

Live FROM your future…the simple yet effective means to achieve your success/goals

Live your life and goals FROM the future and have complete faith that the universe will answer your dreams. It is by the thoughtful use of your imagination and your imagination alone that manifests what your desire.

You mustn’t run away from your present, however, you must run towards your future.

Photo by lucas Favre on Unsplash

The unpleasant present

Have you ever found yourself in a miserable situation with no apparent way out? Perhaps, at this very moment you are in a low paying job, a bad relationship, or a mountain of debt. While it seems like the entire universe has plotted against you and has placed roadblock after roadblock in front of you and your path to success, you must not run away from your present situation. Instead, you must run towards your future when things are the lowest in your life. 

Negative situations often result in negative responses…WRONG

Most people face negative situations in life with negative responses. They blame others for their unhappy and unsuccessful life. They blame their spouse, their boss, their age, their height, their weight, and their parents for their lack of success in their life. And while they blame others for their unsuccessful life, in the same breath, they also look to others and other things to solve their problems.

What’s your plan if you run away? Just running doesn’t solve the problem

As a result, they need to be with a person to feel whole, they need a shiny sports car to feel worthy, and they need a new house on the right side of town to feel successful. And when they construct barriers around their dreams, they want to run away from it all with no plan or vision of how to achieve the future they want.

Your life is a mirror

Little do these blamers understand that their present is a reflection of what they have been thinking about and what they must receive from the benevolent Source. These same people do not realize that their attitude can change an unpleasant present into a fabulous future. 

Don’t be a blamer…claim responsibility for your unpleasant present

Now, consider your own situation. If it’s not what you want it to be, do not blame everyone else for your results and do not look at everyone else for your solutions. Take full responsibility of the present knowing that your attitude can change your results.

Be sincerely grateful where you are at this moment

First, you must take the initiative and be grateful for whatever situation you find yourself in. And next, while being in a positive state of gratitude, you must also create an inner world of peace and calmness. This positive state occurs when you have a concise vision of what you long to achieve.

Clarity of purpose cerates empowerment

Finally, with a clear vision of what you want, you feel empowered and enthused about the future, hence, you can run towards your future knowing that your goals are attainable. 

Change? Change your attitude along with your thoughts, words and actions

In the end, it’s all about your attitude and your reaction to the situation you find yourself in. If you run away from the present, you are reacting out of hate, fear, and doubt. These are negative feelings which only serve to block your path to success.

Run to your future with a heart, mind, and soul full of love, faith and belief

In contrast, if you run towards your future, you are reacting out of love, faith, and belief. These are positive feelings which can only build a bridge to your success. When you find yourself in a situation, carefully think about your reaction to get where you want to go.

You get what you want because you want what you get

We are creators within the universe

This new era of spirituality is growing at an alarming rate. Why? It’s because we are finally beginning to comprehend our role as creator and not just a participant within the magnitude of the universe.  Running parallel to this moment of enlightenment, we have also witnessed the meltdown of many major corporations and Wall Street.

Our material goods can be taken away from us in an instant

It is frightening to think that our wealth can be taken away without notice. The fruits of our labor snatched away like candy from a baby. However, in spite of this scenario we can, should, and will succeed. As in any economic meltdown, they are those that will succeed and there are those that will fail. As result, we need to think and do things differently to come out successful in the situation we find ourselves in.

A Winning Equation in Life

The key to success in these tumultuous times is a plan. Just as you developed strategies to succeed within your formal studies, there is also a Winning Equation in Life. With awareness and application of the Universal Laws, each one of us can reap the benefits knowing that success can be narrowed down to an exact science like mathematics or physics.

The Complexity of Success can be simplified, understood, and thus, overcome by an equation

The complexity of success can be set in the following equation:

Goals + Faith + Intuition + Moment + Gratitude = SUCCESS

BIG GOALS

You must decide upon what you want and be sure to make your goals BIG. Now, BIG means different things to different people, however, you cannot succeed in a BIG way if you don’t have this thought in your mind. And it takes the same amount of energy to decide upon large goals as it does to decide upon small goals. It is vitally important not to let your past influence your future goals. This thought will shackle you to your present and drive your desires away from you. And be sure to share your decision with a person or persons who can support you fully.

FAITH:100%

When you have 100% faith in the Source and yourself, you will achieve those goals you originally set. Faith is an amazing ally: fear, anxiety, doubt, and other negative emotions are driven away from you when faith permeates your soul. 

INTUITION

In this scientific age, we all too often turn away from that voice within, the voice of the Source which is meant to guide us and give us strength. We need to heed our intuition knowing that we are never given a goal unless we have also been given a plan to achieve it. Be sure to have those quiet moments and listen to your intuitive soul to receive your sacred guidance.   

THE MOMENT

We also need to enjoy the moment: enjoy it as a child with great amazement and wonderment in your connection with the Source. Be sure to use all of your senses when you think about the present moment; this will provide a greater sense of amazement and wonderment. Even though you do not have what you want in hand, still, you must to act at this very moment as though it is already received. 

GRATITUDE

Express your gratitude daily to receive more of the good you deserve from the Source…this is the Law. When you look at life and success as a formula, you must win and receive what you set your mind on.

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

Roadblocks are only temporary detours meant to measure your resolve.

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.

We can only receive what we expect to receive.

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.  

Would you still try after facing 10,000 failures?

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 prizefighter from Philadelphia.

Defeat is an attitude; success is an attitude.

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.  

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t.

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,

Positive Expectancy is the key to goal achievement.

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. 

You must have Positive Expectancy, not just a positive attitude.

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. 

What’s the driving force in your life?

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.
