You Become What You Expect – Life Coaching Skills
Your outlook in life defines your reality. You don’t always get what you want in life, yet you will get what you expect . It’s simple, powerful, and profound all at the same time. The question is, “Do you expect the best possible outcome for yourself and others?”
If you do expect that positive things will happen, they generally do. Not every single time , but in general, when you expect to succeed you will . When you expect to win you do . When you expect to live a full and satisfying life, it happens. Conversely, when you expect to be unsuccessful, miserable, anxious, conflicted, etc…. you are .
This is not a secret at work. What this means is that your thoughts, attitude and overall mindset influence what you will experience and the results you will create Positive people are surrounded by positive influences.They created a support group of positive people who support them when faced with adversity or challenges. Negative people only receive more negativity and doubt when they are faced with adversity or challenge.
The expectations that you present to the world about yourself, and the people around you , will usually manifest. Just the way our expectations of others influence how we relate tothem, they also determine how other people respond to us .
If you’ve ever worked with a person who is primarily negative you will know what I’m talking about. A negative workplace is the least productive, least satisfying, and least motivating environment to be in. Negativity is like a black hole that even the brightest light can’t escape from. Once you get caught up in negativity, it is almost impossible to break free. To avoid this trap you can work on developing positive expectations about yourself and others.
This does not mean you can choose any expectation and expect it to come true. Aside from being positive, your expectations must meet two other criteria before they can help you become the person you want to be. They must be realistic and true to your self.
Unrealistic expectations are just as damaging as negative ones. When you never achieve success you begin to doubt yourself. All your positive energy is swiftly transformed to negativity. This brings you right back to where you don’t want to be.
If your expectations are not true to the person you want to be, then you won’t commit to making them a reality. All too often people try to live up to the expectations of others, such as a parent, a manager, a significant other, a teacher or another authority figure. Make sure your expectations are congruent with who you really are. That is the only way you will achieve success, and the only way your expectations will continue to remain positive. Consider the following tips from a personal life coach:
- Commit yourself to setting positive and realistic expectations about all the things you truly want and deserve.
- Write an affirmation statement that asserts your expectation of a positive outcome. Repeat this message to yourself over and over again.
- Take the necessary steps to make your self-affirmation a reality.
- Develop your confidence and take full ownership for your own life.
- Remind yourself that you do not always get what you wish for, but you will get what you positively expect – most of the times .
- Create a powerful visual message that you can refer to when you feel negativity set in.
- Work everyday at bringing to you the resources you need to make your expectations a reality.
You will find both power and joy when you begin to set your own standards and expectations based on what you believe is possible . You are what you believe, and you become what you expect. Expect the best, and only the best, from life, from others, and from yourself!
