Positive expectations are powered by the faith that we can achieve our God given potential. They are not preconceived notions or demands that would limit us from receiving something greater than we initially expected. When we turn expectations into demands, they become attachments: beliefs that we cannot be happy without getting what we expected.

Expectation is a powerful, heart-based feeling filled with faith, commitment, and gratitude. Rather than an anxious state of mind, it allows our desires to manifest in the right way, in the right place, and at the right time. Yet, it is important that we remain aware and choose our expectations purposefully.

How many times have you found yourself "expecting the worst" while wanting the best? We must observe our thoughts and feelings each day. Dr. Maurice Nicoll once said, "Nothing is more useful or more interesting than to pull yourself up suddenly and notice where you are inside and where you are going."

The Law of Expectation states that whatever one expects, with confidence, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Our external lives mirror our thoughts, feelings, and actions. We do not need to look far into our own histories to see this truth. So how can we exceed our highest expectations? We can do so by being willing to receive not only what we expect, but what is in our best interest. We must allow each expectation to manifest in its best way and time without force or demand.

Think of one of your primary objectives. Describe your desired outcome in detail. Then ask yourself: What do I expect to receive, and am I willing to allow that expectation, or something greater, to become a reality in my life?

Our highest expectations need not have limits.

Exceed your highest expectations today by taking actions necessary to fulfill your dreams. Allow the seed of each one to germinate and grow to its greatest potential. Invite the universe to meet or exceed your greatest needs and desires, allowing room for God's wisdom to bring you every blessing you could imagine. Then, enjoy each moment in joyful anticipation and gratitude for all the blessings you will receive.
