Expectations Will Happen If You Think About Them Long Enough

September 23, 2014 by Marc Guberti 2 Comments

Mindset

Any expectation, good or bad, will happen if you think about it long enough, have a strong belief that it will happen (in order words, you aren’t just saying something will happen for the sake of it happening), and you put in the work. If you have a strong belief in your ability to make a strong income, and you put in the work to make it happen, that expectation will come to pass.

With this power in our hands, many people choose to use it poorly. Many people put their expectations low or expect themselves to be worse off than they are already. Those kinds of negative expectations also come to pass if you think of them for a long period of time.

Live your life with optimistic thoughts and put in the work that will allow you to turn an optimistic thought into a reality. No goal is too big. What will you do? It’s your choice.

5 Ways To Get Your Goals Accomplished Faster

Goals

The big reason many goals remain unaccomplished is because people do not know how to accomplish them fast enough. Most people go into their goals with no set plan. With this “blindfold mentality,” people do not know how to accomplish their goals. The only reason people remember and still try to accomplish these goals is because they were written on a piece of paper somewhere or just happen to be recalled every once in a while. However, what if there was a way to get your goals accomplished faster? In fact, there’s five ways.

Wake up earlier. Waking up early removes all of the distractions that take place later in the day. The earlier you wake up, less things get in the way of you accomplishing your goals. Waking up early also has several health benefits.
Give yourself the staircase. You cannot get from one floor (where you are now) to the next floor (where the goal is accomplished) without creating the staircase to get you there. If you want to write 7 blog posts every week, you would do 1 blog post every day and add steps to your staircase until you accomplish the goal.
Write your goals on a score card. I wrote a blog post about how my first score card dramatically increased my productivity. Since then, I have been using score cards every week to track my productivity and my ability to accomplish goals within a certain amount of time.
Improve your time management skills. Watching TV is easier than writing. Watching TV does not involve any action on your part, but writing requires thinking and the ability to turn thoughts into sentences. However, writing will help your business more than watching TV will. Many people do not know how to effectively manage their time which is why many hours get gobbled up for unnecessary reasons. These are some tips that will help out with improving your time management.
Never lower the bar. Lowering the bar once results in a temptation to lower the bar even further. Cutting back from 4,000 words every day to 2,000 words every day and remaining that way for several weeks could eventually result in the ability to surpass 1,000 words every day. Lowering the bar lowers hopes, expectations, and dreams.

Those are the five ways to get more done faster. What are your thoughts on the list? Do you have any additional tips that you would like to add? Please share your thoughts and tips below.

The Problem With Waiting For Something To Happen

Some people who think of a great idea wait for everything to come in place. The problem with waiting for everything to align is that waiting does not result in the alignment. In order to get the alignment, you need to take action.

Goals don’t come to the people who don’t go after them. In order to accomplish your goals, you can’t wait for them to happen to you; you have to happen to them. You are the one who controls your own success. The more work you put in towards accomplishing your goal, the more successful you are going to become.

If you keep on waiting, the time will never be just right. The right time to start is now. There is no reason to wait for something to happen. Waiting does not result in progress. Work results in progress.

After enough waiting, it may eventually be too late to implement a goal–someone thought of it already, what you are thinking of wouldn’t be as popular now as it would have been, or something else. In order to implement your goal before its too late, you need to do the work that will allow you to accomplish your goal.

Don’t wait for a goal to happen. Happen to it.
