Focused by expectations

Positive expectations don’t necessarily cause good things to happen. Yet they certainly do enable those good things.

Your expectations focus your attention toward certain possibilities and away from others. Those expectations allow you to see opportunities that are aligned with whatever you expect.

Someone has to put in the time and do the work to bring value into your world. That someone usually turns out to be you.

In doing that work, your thoughts, efforts, and perceptions are heavily influenced by expectations. Because of that constant influence, your expectations can absolutely drive your reality.

Your time, your capabilities, and your actions are always focused in some particular direction. Your own expectations serve as a significant focusing mechanism.

Expect the best, but don’t expect it to magically pop into being. Expect the best, and let those expectations combine with your own time and energy to make them happen.
