There's something that I want to share with you on the topic of expectations. We know that you will attract whatever vibration you hold. So if you're feeling happy, happy finds you. And if you're feeling ornery, then ornery finds you. It's really quite fascinating, actually. And if you're ever unclear about which vibration you're holding, pay attention to the experiences and people that arrive in your life. If you find that grumpy people check you out at the supermarket...well...I think you know what your vibration is. Doh! (Yeah, you do that to yourself.)
But I started this conversation (okay, it's really a monologue, but I can totally feel you with me) on the topic of expectations. So there's also something else you should know. Ready for it? Say yes. Your experiences will match your expectations. Have you ever been speeding in your car and just known that there was a cop somewhere on the freeway catching people? And then, BAM! Out he pulls onto the freeway. And of course, if you were really worried about being pulled over, he starts chasing you down the road, right? Right!
Or how about this one: did you just know that you were going to hit horrible traffic on your way home because you're in a rush and you need to be somewhere in a hurry? And by golly, you're right!
It's true. These things happen. The universe coordinates exactly what you expect. It is impartial. It has no bias over whether your expectations are positive or negative. It just wants to deliver exactly what you expect to happen. Isn't that lovely? (Nod your head yes.)
So here's my challenge to you: next time you just know you're going to be inconvenienced by something, change your mind. Decide that something different will happen. Look, I live in Los Angeles, and I spend lots of quality time bonding with the 405 freeway. I'm sure you can tell this by my examples above. But once in a while, for some strange reason, traffic actually moves. And dang it, if it can happen once, it can happen a million times! It's kind of irritating to have to own the experiences of your life like that. I know. I lived in that thought for a little while, too. But c'mon, you know it's true. Hey, people win the lottery all the time. Why not you? Well, right now it's because you really don't expect to. The odds are terrible, so you're sure it won't happen to you. You hope it will, but you don't really expect it to. But I promise you this: when you truly expect it, when you know it in your gut, it absolutely will happen. It's law. (The Law of Attraction, of course.) It has to. Chew on that one for a bit, eh? Imagine the possibilities.
All of a sudden you're really paying attention to your thoughts, right? And if you're like me you will go through a phase in which anytime you realize you're expecting something annoying to happen, you freak out and and think, "No, no, that's not what I meant! I know it can be awesome. Totally, yeah, no, I'm really looking forward to my work meeting with all of these lovely people in my office." But eventually you will genuinely get there...when you realize that it actually is possible to find joy in everything that you do. You won't be there all the time, and that's ok. (Whoopsie, right?) But you will have more and more moments when you realize that you can create happiness in all situations. And, well, to use my dad's famous line, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." You will always prove the Law of Attraction true.
So, cheers to expecting great things...and to being right!
