Expectations Become Reality

When you expect someone to do what you want, and that person treats you with respect or admires/looks up to you, you have already increased your chances of success higher.

The magic word here is “expect”. You expect your child to get high grades in school and he will get high grades. You tell your son that he’s a bright student, you really expect that to happen, and your son will meet or exceed your expectations.

We aim to meet, if not exceed, others’ expectations of us, especially if we stand to gain benefits like getting rewards, earning trust, or being regarded highly. There have been cases where the law of expectation can produce almost miraculous results.

Take the case of cancer patients who were given placebo pills. These are just plain pills that have no healing capabilities. So how did they get well?

The power came from their thoughts. They were told that these pills contain the highest amounts of cancer-fighting ingredients that can effectively cure them in a matter of days. They expected to be healed, and so that’s what happened.

See how powerful your mind is?

They believed that their health would be restored. They have registered in their minds that these pills will cure them of their illnesses. In the process, the belief embedded within their subconscious came to reality.

There was once a weightlifter who couldn’t lift weights in excess of 300 lbs. So his coach devised a clever idea and told him that the barbell he has to carry weighs only 300 lbs. With all his might, the weightlifter managed to put it above his head. After he puts it down, the coach told him that he has just lifted 350 lbs. of weight! It’s all in the mind!

A famous person once said, “Whenever you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.”

If you think you are poor, then you are; unless you properly condition your thoughts to the positive mindset and expect great things to happen.
