Expectations, Confidence and Letting Go


Many of us have been to fairs and carnivals where they have games for which you can win prizes, like the games that test your physical strength.

There is a formula at work there.

If you hit something with the correct amount of force, then you win and get a prize.

You know what strength you have and when you pick up that hammer and go for it, you have some expectation of what will happen.

If you've been working out regularly and feel strong and capable, then the chances of you getting that prize are good. But if you don't have confidence in your ability, then your expectations are not aligned with winning. And if you feel that the games are rigged, that also defines your expectations.

Ofcourse there are always those cases which surprise you.

The equation here is that when you feel confident about a situation, it increases your attraction factor to get you what you want. Expecting to get what you want increases your attraction factor tremendously.

What should you do if you are not able to maintain the correct level of expectation required?

For those cases where you find it difficult to retain your joyful expectations, surrender helps.

Surrender to the Divine power. Not everything has to be worked out by you.

You can let go and let the higher powers help you. You may just about end up having a delightful surprise waiting for you. The trick is in giving up the worry in a situation and seeing it unravel beautifully in front of you.

State what you'd like to see happen clearly, and then let go.

And meanwhile work on having positive expectations and increase your confidence. Remove all resistance that reduce your expectations. This is not about expecting from a feverish and attached point of view, but expecting from the space of knowing that something is already yours. It really tilts things in your favor.

The Universe will make a way for you. Learn how to play the game of expectations and win. It's fun.


Love and light.
