Expect From Yourself…Anticipate From Others

So I’m sitting waiting for the phone call, expecting the phone call, and guess what it didn’t come. Why didn’t it come, I did what all the books tell you, and what I’ve learnt that if you expect something it will happen, I didn’t have any doubt it would come, so why didn’t it come.

Because I was expecting the phone call from someone else not myself, if I’d been expecting myself to make the phone call I would have made it, I could expect with surety that I would do it, however when you are expecting something from someone else you need to change the word expect to anticipate.

When you expect something and it doesn’t turn out the way you expect it to turnout, or it doesn’t happen at all, you will be disappointed and therefore you will end up expecting things not to happen, and then your focus will be in the wrong direction.

If you anticipate something or someone being a certain way, but expect that whatever way it turns out you will deal with it in a positive way then you will always focus in the right direction.

We are taught when asking anything of Spirit to expect it to be so. Yet we are also taught not to expect things from others. Confused.com or what.

It’s simple, Spirit will always do what’s best for everyone concerned, people only usually do what’s best for them which might not always be what’s best for you.

So remember.

Anticipate others will give you the opportunity to grow in a positive way, expect that you will grab that opportunity with both hands. If you do that every day in every situation you will always come out on the positive side.

I anticipate getting the phone call at some point, I expect I’ll just carry on with what I have to do until then.

Blessings.
