THE POWER OF BELIEF AND EXPECTATION by Kate Corbin |
“If you think you can do a thing or think you can't
do a thing, you're right.”
– Henry Ford
Are you aware of how powerfully your life is influenced by your beliefs and expectations? As Check Emeril would say, belief and expectation are ingredients that “kick it up a notch.” Your life experience is determined by your belief system and the good news is that you can escape the prison of limiting beliefs by replacing them with new expansive beliefs. Deciding you can be and do and have whatever you desire, refusing to take “No” for an answer, insisting on having it your way – this is the power of belief and expectation that enables you to create the life of your dreams!
What Is a Belief? A belief is a habit of thought. A belief is nothing more than a thought you keep thinking, which means you can change your beliefs by changing your thoughts. All feelings from abject powerlessness to full empowerment are a result of your practiced thoughts. As you practice bold, empowering thoughts, your beliefs will become bold and empowering. If you expect your life to be difficult, you will experience one hardship after another. If you believe that your life can be a grand and glorious adventure, your life will indeed be grand and glorious.
Transforming a mediocre life into a meteoric existence is simply a matter of expanding what you believe is possible. It’s not important or even helpful to try to figure out where your beliefs came from. What’s important now is to make sure that your beliefs are contributing to your happiness rather than undermining it.
“When you believe you can – you can!”
– Maxwell Maltz
You’ll See It When You Believe It. If everything is determined by your belief system, how do you get yourself to believe something you don’t currently believe? The first step is to decide what you really want. Next, focus on your clear, strong, passionate desire and talk yourself into believing you can have it. Set your intentions to see the manifestation of your desire. Employ the power of dreaming, imagining, and visualizing. Start small. Start with things you’re good at and grow from there.
Joe’s experience is a good example of starting small and working up. Joe had significant resistance to attracting money and didn’t really believe it was possible for him to have abundant resources. What he was really good at was finding parking places. In fact, he told me he had not had to hunt for a parking place in the five years since he learned about the Law of Attraction. He took the confidence he had developed in this one area and built on that. As he focused on each new desire, his mantra was: “I did this, so I bet I can do that!” It worked, and he continues to build on each success to improve every aspect of his life, happily living the prosperous lifestyle which had previously seemed impossible for him.
When you have confidence in one area and you build on that, you can work up to the place where you not only believe, but KNOW, that you can be and do and have whatever you desire. Truly, you’ll see it when you believe it.
“I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.”
– Mohammed Ali
I Can Do This. Years ago, I worked for a company in the process of downsizing. As one employee after another was laid off, I was given their jobs. I was literally taking on new responsibilities every day. The work was piling up. The phone was ringing. People were lining up outside my office. In desperation, I started repeating to myself – “I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.” I clearly did not believe it at first, but as I kept saying it, I started believing it. Then, as the power of belief and expectation kicked in, I was somehow able to handle it all with ease and grace.
“Something’s coming, I don’t know what it is but it is gonna be great!
The air is humming, and something great is coming!”
– from the movie, West Side Story
If you accept that the circumstances of your life are a direct result of what you believe and expect, then why not harness the amazing power of belief and expectation! How about expecting and believing that something great is just about to happen!
