Your expectations can be a curse or a blessing.

I bet you’ve heard of manifesting!

I bet you’ve even taken part in manifesting meditations

Well, how would it land with you if I threaded an idea that manifesting is a form of expectation?

See the meanings embedded below

The basic difference is that manifesting is abstract or theoretical.

I believe until made real… visionary

I would set clear expectations between people and things that I know I can create and execute.

David Robson mentions this in his book. The expectation effect:

“The most mind-blowing results concern the aging process. People with a more positive attitude to their later years are less likely to develop hearing loss, frailty, and illness—and even Alzheimer’s disease—than people who associate aging with senility and disability. In a very real sense, we are as young as we feel inside.”

Research suggests that negativity can manifest in many different ways, look at the list below:

5) Jumping to Conclusions: Assuming something bad will happen because of circumstances in the present.

6) Catastrophizing: The belief that disaster is inevitable.

10) Heaven’s Reward Fallacy: A type of negativity that assumes there will always be a reward for hard work and sacrifice. When the reward does not come, you become bitter and depressed.

We have so many unheard expectations and poor manifestations that accumulate and circulate through our minds all day long

It is up to us to address these and switch them in such an empowering way that expectations become a blessing to our future self.

How you may ask!

If your question is how, you must sit and realise why you MUST.

Seeing our potential in the future, projecting and a positive self-image of whom we are becoming is a form of manifestation, however, tweak this a little and create an expectation.

Take it one step further from theoretical, to realistic and make some solid decisions to achieve your new expectation!!!

I believe that we are what we believe based on our actions!!

Your actions tell the story of what’s going on in your head!

Steven R Covey mentions this in his book. 7 habits of highly effective people:

“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”

Everyone has the ability to empower others based on the way they manifest, expect, and encourage others to be their best version!

Go and Be Exceptional

I believe in you!
