What do you expect from yourself? What do you expect from others? What do you expect from the universe? Does the universe truly conspire in your good favor? Yes it does; when you master the force of your expectations the universe will work in mysterious ways.
“Hope for the best and expect the worst”
For the past year I have lived by this motto. Recently I have found it is a negative approach to living life. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy; when you set your mind to expect the worst, can you still truly expect (or see) the best?
Its extremely contradictory!
Using the law of attraction, the best cannot happen even if you are hoping/praying for it to happen as long as you are expecting the worst. Its like taking 1 step forward, but 2 steps back leaving yourself behind your own expectations.
Thinking in this manner results in a crisis of confidence. Take responsibility!
Find the pattern in your expectations. Are you willing to sacrifice for your own good. If you don’t mind giving up how you think you should be and become the person you want to be
I changed my proverb from “Hope for the best and expect the worst,” to “Expect the best, hope for the best.” I even moved my expectation in front of my faith because through this force my faith shall strengthen. Try it out!
