The Power of Expectation

Lately I’ve been trying to explore the key factors of the Law of Attraction in more detail, and today I found myself thinking about expectations and how powerful they are.

Why are they powerful? Remember that our thoughts are simply a form of energy, and all energy gives off a certain vibration or frequency. It’s long been believed that positive thoughts have a higher vibrational frequency than negative thoughts. Try a little experiment to prove this to yourself by repeating different statements aloud. A positive statement like, “I feel so wonderful today!” makes you feel lighthearted and happy, even if you didn’t feel that way beforehand. A negative statement such as, “I’m really struggling today” makes you feel tired and weighed down.

Expectations are simply unspoken thoughts of a certain frequency. If we hold negative expectations, we give off a lower level of frequency than if we hold positive expectations. And as I’ve written about many times before, like attracts like! So, in a very real sense, our expectations are powerful enough to attract corresponding circumstances into our lives.

Hmmm, it really makes you think, doesn’t it? How many times have you set new goals or went after something you wanted, but deep in your heart you doubted you would be successful? How many times have you said, “With my luck, it will all fall apart” and it did?

This is one way we get ourselves stuck in a rut of negativity. We hold negative expectations, have negative experiences, which only seems to reinforce our expectation that things will go wrong, which makes more things go wrong, etc.

It takes a leap of faith at the beginning, but we can learn to hold positive expectations in any situation. We can choose to say, “I don’t know exactly how, but everything will work out wonderfully.” This will begin to attract better circumstances into our lives.

However, it’s NOT an instant thing. And here’s where the tricky part comes in. Because it takes time for our expectations to attract what we really want, we might be tempted to go back to our negative thought processes when it doesn’t work the first few times. It would be really easy to say, “See? I knew that positive thinking stuff was a crock.” And because we believe it’s a crock, it does become a crock. And that’s the most important point of this post: We create the reality that reinforces our beliefs.

Change your beliefs (expectations), and you change your reality. There’s your heavy thought for this nice Wednesday afternoon.
