The Law Of Expectations Tm

October 2009 by Adam Sky Expert Author

More planning, (thought out expectations),

predictably results in more success.

Planning Is The Key To Mastering Your Future!

All plans have a goal. The goal is to satisfy a specific expectation, borne of desire. If we perform a certain action we expect a certain result. If we capriciously chance (act), our expectations are usually within parameters of probable results.

Internally created expectations, (those which are not the result of promises or external origin), seemingly from nowhere and which are not explicitly designed, (thought out), may be cleverly masked subconscious desires, aching for expression. Our entire life consists of an unending string of expectations. It starts with our Mom's 'expecting' us; to when we learn to expect the inevitability of death; and all thats expected of us in life between. We expect and are expected to play, to go to school, to graduate, go to college, to marry, to procreate, to work, to die. Not a minute goes by that we are not in the grasp of expectations, manifested by actions to achieve them. Or, to avoid them. The question is then, can we tweak expectations for greater reward?

Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation. Charlotte Bronte:

With all respect to her generally true, albeit sad remark, I propose.

How to create designed expectations. Tm

Expectations resulting from planning plus specific actions, are designed expectations. And thus differs from daily expectations or promises, threats, vague wishes or improbabilities.

Designed expectations offer the greatest probability for their successful outcome.

The why and wherefore of deliberate (designed) expectations...

Visualization reveals desire. Desire is mentally transformed to a simple formula. If I do this I can expect that. As envisioned actions necessary for success are formulated, expectations grow. Greater planning feeds expectation and turns expectations possibility to probability. When you put your plans into action, your expectations become a tangible quest. All action is external,* and that is why it is tangible. Simply casting your bread upon the waters creates an innumerable chain of physical events. Yet ripples and sinking are the usual expectations. If we were seeking to hit a fish we would need to exact more plans, trial and error attempts and expend greater actions.

You desire to go on a camping trip. You visualize being there and what you'll need to take with you. You also plan how to get there and what you expect to enjoy on reaching your destination. You even put a time frame to it all.

This is the same process whether you're going to lunch, the market, camping, or visualizing a successful business. The process is all the same. Worrying about paying small bills takes the same energy and thought process about paying big bills. Only the amount is larger. This is one of the great secrets of success. Think Big!

Learning to understand and use your thought processes (operating system) towards greater goals is just a matter of substituting goals. Whether you eat a baked potato or a steak. Count single dollar bills or 100's. You already have all the processes ingrained. What matter if you decide to go to the mountains for a vacation or to an exotic location. Only the target is changed. Please don't think.. yeah only it costs ten times as much. You're missing the point of the mental process involved.

People learn to live within a budget, or try to, instead of learning to create more wealth. We spend enormous time contemplating our expenses instead of contemplating how to raise our income. Look back at what you did to earn what you do and the lifestyle you have created. Then duplicate, replicate, copy your every successful step. Or those who've succeeded and share their journey.

Where do dreams end and concrete expectations begin?

When a life of mundane expectations doesn't satisfy

or the need to exceed makes its presence known.

Lights! Desire is illuminated. But, without a plan desire is wishful thinking.

Camera! Imaging; Visualizing your dream as an expectation. Creating your plan, your goal.

Action! Working your plan to a successful conclusion. Expectations realized.

* Thought is our only invisible action.

Knowledge is not power! It is the use of knowledge that is power.

Knowledge = options. Knowledge =s Opportuities.

Let's explore knowledge. I see knowledge as:

1- The accumulation of all that is known since the beginning of time.

2- The knowledge we individually possess, learned from all exposures; instinctual, taught, inputted, acquired, experienced and divined.

3- Specialized knowledge which one has that separates him or her from the pool of generalized knowledge. Experts, et al. Specialized knowledge is the unique advantage one possesses.

All these sources come from the past, or are in the past. An interesting definition of knowledge, is something that is believed, although it may be true or false. At most, whatever one knows, or how much, it is still only partial knowledge. The wizard of Oz or Mr. Knowitall might take issue with that. Knowledge presupposes known facts or information which is the past.

Like the moment that just passed is now the past, so is it with knowledge.

It is the future that is unknown and we all wish we could get tomorrows paper today.

Imagination is the birthplace of future knowledge. Through imagination we think what might be if we impose certain conditions to manipulate various conclusions. The combination of knowledge of any sort, at any level, manipulated with imagination, also of any level, can and does result in newledge.

Propaganda!

What does that word mean to you. Spreading lies? Indoctrination? Mind control?

Well, it could mean all of those, since, as a verb, it is used to disseminate information. But it can also be used to spread important or otherwise useful information. We are given daily doses of propaganda from all political agendas. It is for us to decide which is true or false. In that decision lies the seed of knowledge, id est., knowledge is what we believe to be true.

During the cold war with Russia, there was a story about a two car race, between the USA and USSR. Of course, in this rendering, the USA won. It was reported in the news thusly:

USA wins first place, Russia comes in last!

Russian papers reported:

Russia wins second place in race, USA comes in next to last!

I repeat this for the purpose to exhibit how important it is to understand the way to write and how to express points we wish to impart, is an art. Not only through content and for whom we write, but also how to choose and compose words and phrases, of the most useful or dramatic impact for you the reader.

Remember the starving and indigent. Thank you.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DETERMINATION FOR SUCCESS..

Some of least intelligent, most uninformed people make the greatest successes. Is it because they are not distracted by various interests. Is it that they can maintain a focus which a more imaginative, busy mind cannot? If you watch sports, you can easily see how many decisions need be made in seconds. Especially tennis where you have not only to anticipate your movements, but also your opponents. Sometimes in milliseconds. Instinctive and learned reactions, yet repetitive, except for that last great shot. It appears to me that some players just want to win more than their opponent, equality of play being similar. Greater determination.

Determination has two meanings. To make a decision, or to have resolve. Lets talk about resolve. But, our language is crazy. One would think by prefacing termination with de- would be to reverse it, like de-rail. But nay. And resolve.. shouldn't this mean to solve again? Nay again. It means dedication. Or what Napoleon Hill* referred to as definiteness of purpose.

If you ask successful people what was/is their most guiding factor to their success I believe you would hear determination, more than any other quality, or attribute.

Whilst there are many factors involved in any success, which for this writing, is whatever you imagine it to be, determination will be the most important, of all your mental processes. It will be the ultimate mental activity that will drive you to action and success.

Everyone at some time or other thinks they have a good marketable idea. And everyone has their dreams. Frankly, good ideas and even intelligence mean nothing without determination. All factors for success, or failure, pale or fail, in the presence or lack of determination.

So where do we get determination and how do we harness it.

Some people are born beautiful. Some with high I.Q.'s. Etc, etc., and some with more determination than others. And of course, for many it's a learned response to life's situations. But forget all that. Lets start with a clean slate.

How well do you know what you want? How badly do you want it? This is the starting place. We are so busy living we don't take time to dig deep into our psyche. Or that we don't have the confidence to embark on our journey to the center of our being? There are so many limitations imposed upon us, we hardly have time to consider our deep desires, other than to consider them a fleeting fantasy. Fear of losing what we have is greater than the fear of not succeeding and keeps us from moving ahead. Fear of ridicule. Fear of failure. Fear of factors which may only exist in our minds. All these work against us.

But all are second to not knowing what we really desire. In fact all our work and responsibilities are against it, keeping us involved in other activities. So many of us try to re-live our deepest desires through our children, only to learn they want to make their own decisions. Is it because we feel it's too late for us, or because were too busy, too many responsibilities. We fit in time for them, which in effect allows us to live two or more lives.

In Act And Get Rich, (yours free to read in www.skysnolimit.info/ I revealed my unique visualization exercise, to enable you to get in touch with your deepest desires. And from there to review that vision daily, with strong emotion and conviction, while reciting your daily affirmations, to reach the realm of passionate believability.

Doing this, automatically reinforces your determination. With passion, comes determination. It's a package deal. A quinella. (First and second winners) A one-two punch. And, your determination can be further consciously forged, to higher and higher degrees, with each exercise and advancement towards your success.

Your great pyramid of success.

So~
