Don’t HOPE for Results – EXPECT Them!

in #psychology7 years ago

We all hope for just about anything we want to happen. That’s the defining aspect of hope, isn’t it? To deeply want something, or for some particular event to occur? There’s nothing wrong with hoping at all. In fact, it’s hope that helps keep all of us driven for a brighter tomorrow… but that doesn’t mean that “hoping” is going to get us the results we want, and the things in life which we desire.

Right now, I want you to think about your future. What do you want your future to entail? More money? A deep, loving, fulfilling relationship? A fantastic home to live in? Nice cars to drive? As you think about your future, I want you to hope for all the things you desire. Hope for a better life. Hope for financial freedom. Hope for a higher standard of living… but as you do, you’re probably beginning to realize there’s something missing…

When you only have hope driving you forward, your visualization of the future you want to create is less vivid. It’s almost as if you’re seeing your future as being a “maybe”, like you’re looking at a fuzzy picture, or viewing it through a black-and-white lens. That’s because you’re missing a key ingredient.

To get truly vivid visualization of your own future, you must EXPECT the things you want, not just HOPE for them.

What does this mean? It means that in order to have more money, to have a deep, loving, fulfilling relationship, to have an incredible house, to have nice cars, and to have all the other things you desire, you have to EXPECT that you will truly receive all these things.

When you come from a level of expectation, how does it feel? I know that when I personally expect something to happen, to believe in it, I feel a deep level of secure calm and certainty about it.

For a demonstration, if you have a job, what do you expect to happen on payday? Well, you get paid, of course! Now, when payday comes up, do you go to work HOPING that your employer hands you a paycheck for all the work you’ve done, or that the money you worked for will HOPEFULLY be in your bank account later? No, of course not!

When it’s payday, you EXPECT to get paid, with all faith, with all certainty. Unless you’ve expected there to be some sort of payment error, you expect to be compensated for your work. It’s this manner of expectation that you need to have. You need to trap this very sensation and use it in all other desires of your life. Don’t just hope for a better future, expect it!

Notice how much lighter you feel when you expect something, how much more secure the sensation is than simply having hope by itself. This very manner of thinking, of believing, will greatly improve your ability to achieve your dreams and desires.

Conditioning yourself to have these kinds of beliefs, to have this level of confidence and certainty, of genuine expectancy, can be very difficult. For most of our lives we’ve been conditioned to be pessimistic, conditioned only to hope for things, while at the same time fearing the worst case scenarios. It takes dedication and persistence in order to break down the disempowering thoughts you’ve adopted as you’ve grown, but it’s very possible to do.

The key to shifting your thoughts and beliefs is through altering the way your subconscious mind behaves. Your subconscious mind is what will affect every aspect of your life. From your thoughts and interpretations, to your beliefs and habits, your subconscious mind has incredible and lasting impact on all of what your mind takes in. Because of this, your love life, your health, and your finances will be ultimately swayed by your subconscious mind.

Empower yourself and improve your life! Stop hoping for improvements, and start expecting them. If you don’t know how, if you’re subconscious mind fights you every step of the way like most people’s do, then learn to condition yourself to EXPECT the success that you deserve. Take action. Don’t put it off for later, start today, right now!
