The Power of Expectation

Summary below! This is Brendon freestyle, without notes or prompter.

--------------------
SUMMARY:
--------------------

3 things to focus on so your expectations can have a positive impact on your life:

1. Set positive expectations for yourself.

Those who get ahead in life have positive expectations for themselves. They believe in their ability to figure things out no matter what happens or what opportunity they chase after in life. They understand that there will be struggle along the path but they choose to stay resilient and continue taking steps forward.

2. Have positive expectations for other people.

We expect what we constantly see, so beware of surrounding yourself with jerks or negative people and news. If you regularly watch garbage television or are reading trashy blogs and magazines, then you will start to expect negative things from others. This is why it is so important to have a positive peer group. Your job is to go out and network and surround yourself with positive, visionary, supportive, nurturing people.

3. Have positive expectations for your life.

Expect that you will grow healthier, wiser and more kind. Trust that positive things will come your way, that all things have meaning and purpose, that tomorrow will be another great day or step in the right direction. Good things are coming, and when it feels as if they are not… remember this too shall pass so you can expect another sunrise tomorrow.

Over time, what we expect to happen to us often does. So expect good things from yourself, from others, and from the world. Having that positive expectation will help you experience what we call The Charged Life!

I believe the concept is to let go of your ATTACHMENT to expectations, not the expectations themselves. As you stated, having some level of confidence in knowing what to expect is simply functional, but I think where people go wrong is that they have only ONE expectation. What works for me personally is anticipating a worst case scenario, a best case scenario, and also what most likely will happen. This places whatever actually transpires within a broader perspective while more accurately accepting probability as a range, not a single outcome.
Thanks for the video, Brendon!

Dear Brendon,

great again !!!
One littel note:

in Buddhism giving up all hope´s and expectations doesn´t mean, you don´t expect the outter world to function anymore or be incredibly surprised every time your digestion works. It simply means that all our concepts are standing between us and enlightenment. Or -even better- as long as we think of our hopes and fears we don´t experience the present moment and are literally not living to our full potential. So we say: embrace every moment, no matter what it brings...

Brendon, you decribed it exactly in the way we should finally look at our and other people "expectations": we learn, we accomplish, we think about....whatever we plan -> to get, to reach, to make, and all that WITHOUT any expectations? That would be - stupid. It would mean wasting our energy and dreams (fooling ourselves), wasting ideas and gains we could truly get, and by having expectations (to whatever level) we do motivate ourselves, and this is how we get success: by learning, by educating, by accomplishing and by making things happen, because we EXPECT something from it!
If we try to reach SOMETHING and someone notices this and decides to take it away from the person who tries, giving us the verbal message "to not have any expectations" - it´s stealing other peoples tries & dreams and using it for themselves.
As you said: people who expect something send out their energy and that activates others who reply to it, which explains that there is some exhcange going on. Good points made!

I know that there are many many ambitious people want to achieve their dreams, but they live in places where they can't start, or they fail every time! I know they have a real struggle and pain with limitations, but if you set .. you will keep blaming your community and yourself eventually that you didn't try. So keep trying and find new ways. Stay Positive!
