Expect the Best

I hope that I am not the first person to inform you of the solemn and inevitable fact that life is not fair. Unfortunately, we do not always get what we want or deserve or earn. We do, however, inevitably get what we expect. We move inexorably toward our most dominant thought.

It has been said a hundred ways by great men and women over the last five thousand years of recorded history that we are what we think about. Many times, success or failure become a habit. People who seem to move from tragedy to tragedy in their lives, becoming ever-more beaten down, will often be heard to say, "I knew that was going to happen." On the other hand, the winners in every arena of life seem to continue to win time after time and expect it as their due.

As we go about our daily lives, it is important to remember that we always find what we're looking for. If you set out today thinking that this is going to be a bad day, shortly things will begin to order themselves to meet your expectation. Conversely, if you set out with an expectation of greatness, this can be one of the greatest days of your life.

Ironically, the circumstances may not change, but we always find the result we are seeking. How many great days do we all miss because we are too busy highlighting the negative things around us to revel in the wonderful things life gives us?

Please do me a favor. For one day, expect great things to happen; look for them at every turn; and watch them come to pass. By the time you put your head on your pillow, you will have enjoyed an exceptional day. If my system does not work for you, you'll be happy to know it comes with a money-back guarantee, and you will have all the days of the rest of your life to expect, look for, and live through the worst.

Life isn't so much what happens to us as it is how we perceive what happens to us. I wish you a life full of whatever you expect.

Today's the day!
