We GET What We Expect

Clarity Tip
We GET what We Expect
Not
What we Want!
Expect the Best!

‘want’ = ‘lack’

Sometimes in my life I have to hear something many times before it becomes a truth for me. Sometimes I have to be introduced to a concept in many different forms before I can embrace the concept in my own life.

Perhaps 15 or more years ago, I heard a woman on a radio show talking about how she was the ‘luckiest’ woman in the world. Her name is Helene Hadsell, she started her winning streak in by entering a little contest and never looked back. She spoke about being introduced to Norma Vincent Peale’s book, and then she went on to create her own method, which she called SPEC for short; meaning Select it, Project it, Except it, Collect it. This is a quote from the article: “…Helene’s lucky streak began in 1958 while she was reading “The Power of Positive Thinking”, by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. She became excited when she read, “You can have anything you want, provided you know what you want. …”

Years later I heard about the Law of Attraction and that made sense too. I’ve always known about the Law of Gravity, but learning to use it in my favour was an adventure. I knew I had to be in the same vibration as the thing I wanted in order to receive it and positive thinking was an important key to attract. I realized I had to be in the now, in order to receive now, of course that seems obvious but so often our minds are not in the now.

The big hurdle for me was my subconscious was always predicting the outcomes, so whatever happened before was likely to happen again. We expect what we know, we expect that if we ate something on one occasion and had a delicious experience, the next time will be the same, the same can be said for our negative experiences.

Today I was reminded of Helen Hadsell and her expectation was always positive; if it didn’t come today it might be tomorrow. She never let ‘what is’ interfere in her feeling good about what was coming her way.

Even the use of the words, ‘I want’, indicates we are lacking something. Helen seemed to be satisfied and in joy while she waited, rather than in the energy of wanting or missing something.

She expected to receive. In my life, which was filled with trauma and drama, I had learned to be prepared for emergencies, pauses in between seemed like rest stops on a freeway; so that is what I expected and that is what came my way.

The healing journey has many layers, part of this, concept of our expectations, can be a hidden program in our subconscious and although we might be thinking we are expecting positives, the truth might be very different.

There are many tools to help us on this journey of life. I have explored with many, some work, some work at different times and sometimes its just a matter of the right insight at the right time and then a light bulb goes off and we make a big change. Really knowing what I am expecting in life, has been a significant insight for me.

Feel free to share, to comment here or on the facebook page. I’d love to hear about your experiences, challenges or insights, with expectations. What do you expect and do you prepare for what you expect? Or are you in the wanting phase? Something to think about, perhaps?
