The Sign That You’re Not Ready for Success
What would happen if you went to your mailbox today, and there was a check for a million dollars in it? What would happen if you checked your bank account balance, and there was an extra $100,000 in the account? What would happen if all of your goals for this year were achieved tomorrow?
You’d probably be very shocked, right? You might even call all of your friends to tell them about it. But your excitement is a sign that you’re not ready for these events to take place in your life.
What would happen if you went to the mailbox and found a check for $1? What would happen if you got on the scale and you were one pound lighter than you thought you were?
Nothing would happen. Why? Because these are things that you might expect to happen, and what you expect, you get.
The reason you’re not going to get the additional $100,000 in your checking account is because you’re not ready for it, and you know it. The proof that you’re not ready for it is “your surprise.” When you believe success is coming your way, when you really believe it, you expect it, and you position yourself to receive it.
If a woman is nine months pregnant, she acts differently from a woman who is not pregnant at all. Why? Because she’s “expecting” something, she’s getting ready for what she knows is about to come.
What are you getting ready for? What are you expecting? You will only get in this life, what you expect! If you’re expecting little things, then you’re going to continue to get little things. I wrote this article today, because I want to encourage you to expect big things. Big things!
You can’t rise any higher than your expectations. If you’re a balloon, then you’re expectations are the string that you’re attached to.
I remember when I purchased the home I’m in now (you can read about it here: How I Manifested a 7 Bedroom Home at 24). I was excited, but I wasn’t nearly as excited as I thought I would be. I had vividly imagined living here for so long, that I had lost some of the excitement. It wasn’t the first time I had purchased this home, I had purchased it dozens of times in my head.
I’ve reached other goals, and to be honest, I wasn’t really excited about them at all, because I had already been there so many times in my imagination. Currently, I think I’ll be excited when this Web site gets 2000 subscribers, but the truth is, I’ve seen 2000 subscribers so many times in my head, that when I get there, I probably won’t be as ecstatic as I think…I’ve seen it in my imagination for so long, the day it happens I will most likely be imagining 3000 subscribers.
My goal for this year was to lose 9 pounds and weigh 160 pounds, I thought I would be excited when I reached that goal this year. I weighed in at 159 pounds last month, and while I am grateful that I reached the goal, I’m not ecstatic about it, because I arrived to the goal first in my imagination.
Whatever your goal, you must begin to see it in your mind, take time daily to visualize your goal. Nothing is more important than this; you must see who you want to be. If you can’t see it, you can’t have it! If you can’t believe it, if you don’t think you’re worthy of it, you will never get it. So let me encourage you to see what you want to be today. You have the ability to see it, you deserve to have it, you just have to commit to changing your thoughts. Decide to spend a few minutes in your mind where you want to be in reality, and the directions to get you to your goal will become clear to you. It’s a matter of raising your expectation through meditation. When you do this, you will arrive at your dream destination, …and you won’t even be surprised.
