What do you
Expect?
One of the
things that I think is missing when many people practice manifesting what they
want to attract is “expectation”.
Remember back
to the time of childhood when you couldn’t sleep the night before Christmas because
you were “expecting” what you asked for. Remember too when you traveled with
your parents to a relative’s house or to a cabin, “Are we there yet?” was a
question you probably asked more than a few times! You were expecting great
things when you arrived.
Now, thinking
back on times like those I’ve mentioned; what was the “feeling” you had when
you were “expecting”? To me it is much like the (very slight) anxiety one feels
just before giving a speech, the unknown feeling like when you are about to ask
a girl for a date; something like that, do you know what I mean? Have you felt
that?
Now, ask
yourself “When was the last time I actually felt this feeling?”
Most of us
live our lives in a long drawn out routine. Everything is pretty much on “auto
pilot”. We go from home to work and from work to home five or more times a
week, work in a little square space at a desk, come home to the usual type of
meals at the same time each day; just pretty much the “same old same old”.
Hopefully you’ve
followed me this far because now I will share my main point. If you are in
sales you are probably not making sales because of this one thing. If you have
wanted to make more money, quit smoking, exercise more, be disciplined in any
area of your life; add anything from your own day to day life to this list
which you are not achieving and ask if this “one thing” is holding you back.
The one thing
is: “expectation”. Think about this. How many times have you come back from a
sales call, a visit where you’ve shared a business opportunity, asked someone
out for coffee and you got rejected! You did not expect the positive outcome. You
treated this event as you do with the usual consideration that you would in
brushing your teeth each morning. There’s no exhilaration, no fun, and no
expectation!
Try this. The
next time you are going to make a phone call to set an appointment to see
someone, when you’re on your way to make a sales visit, when you are going to
ask your boss for a raise; “feel” like you did on Christmas morning, like you
did when you were a kid going on a family vacation. Feel that awesome feeling
inside that you did because you know that when you get that appointment, when
you make that sale or get that raise that you are on your way to getting that
car, that house, that vacation that you want to manifest; get excited, expect
it and it will happen!

THIS JUST IN: I am editing this; adding this note because I just received a confirmation to everything that I've written here. I just watched a video and the very last thing stated was: "You've just got to move yourself into more expectation". You can watch the video here. The Key to Effortless Manifestation
