Expect Good things to Happen!


Expect Good things to Happen!

So many of us including myself at times struggle with this concept. It is so much easier to expect bad things to happen than to be blessed with good ones. Why? when we are expecting them that means they have not occurred yet, therefore the same energy we invest in thinking negatively we could invest into thinking positively. I am right?

I remember several years ago walking into the elevator with a co-worker. The Powerball was in the millions and many were buying tickets just for the chance to win. As we chat about the tickets…he turns around and says, “you know, even if I win this my life will never change, nothing will get better”. I just looked at him in disbelief as in my mind he was cursing himself to never have a different life. To make matters worse he looked me straight in the eyes and said, “you know it’s true”. I shook my head in disapproval and wished him a good day. I could not allow myself to fall into a negative state. Yet many of us do this on a daily basis. We want more, but our words are more powerful than our wishes. We say we want to change, yet in our hearts we believe we can never change. We hope for a different outcome, yet we believe that we will always get the short end of the stick.

It takes the same amount of energy to think negatively than to think positively. It takes the same amount of energy to create a bad outcome or to create the outcome you want. Yet it takes more energy to break your spirit by giving up than to stand up and decide to move forward with faith and hope in the possibilities.
