We all have dreams and desires (at least I hope we all do), but do we expect those dreams and desires to come true? I mean without expecting them to come true then we’re basically just wishing for something to happen. I’ve wished many (many) times to win the lottery, but I didn’t necessarily expect that I would. I’ve even wished to win the lottery, but didn’t buy a ticket! How crazy is that? Expectation is a big thing when it comes to your desires, and it’s a big thing when it comes to the Law of Attraction (LOA).
Expectation is the force that pulls your desires to you. It’s easy to see this on the negative side. For instance, if you’re taking a class, and say it’s not something that you’re particularly interested in, and you haven’t been going to class or listening while in class, you will probably expect to fail or make a below average grade. When you are expecting something that you don’t want, you will likely get what you expect to get. It’s real easy for us to expect when it’s something we don’t want. Now, can we expect things that we do want?
Expecting our dreams and desires to become a reality takes some work. It takes confidence. It takes a true belief that you’re worth having it. It takes a real yearning for whatever it is you desire. And, it takes action. You can’t just lay around daydreaming about wanting a yacht and then expect it to be sitting in your driveway when you get home (I know. I know…bad example!). It’s not that easy! You have to put the work in.
There’s a saying that God feeds the birds and supplies them with an abundance of food, but he doesn’t put the worms into the bird’s mouth. The bird must go out and search of the food. So, like the birds, we must do something more than just wish or even pray.
When you expect to achieve your dreams and desires, you are essentially believing in the probability of it. You have a belief that you will succeed in getting what you want. When your expectation is there, your energy is then drawn to the interest of your desire even more. Your eagerness, enthusiasm, and keen interest of whatever it is you desire is then intensified. It’s through this intense desire that the LOA works its’ magic. It’s through this intense desire that your interest and attention are drawn to the desire; therefore, giving you inspiration to take right action to achieve it.
The LOA says that like attracts like, and the more powerful your magnet (which you get with intense desire), the easier it is for this Universal law to give you what it is you’re attracting (your intense desire).
In the words of Raymond Holliwell: To desire is to expect, and to expect is to achieve.
Now start expecting your dreams to come true — I know I do!
