Life Shapes Itself To Meet Our Expectations

"Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations."
~Richard M. DeVos

What are your expectations? Are they for your dreams or are they just enough to get by? Unfortunately, we have been taught to not expect too much because if we don't get it, we will be disappointed. We were taught that by well meaning people but guess what? You can't protect people from disappointment!! It's part of life and it allows us to grow. But most people keep their expectations low.

As a Sales Trainer, I always ask my students when they go to meet a client, if they expect to make a sale. Most of them say no. My answer to them is "Why bother going?" You create your reality with your expectations so always be expecting the best. Sure, you might be disappointed some times but more often than not, you will be rewarded for your expectations!

Just 4 words separate the most successful people in the world from those who struggle to just get by: Expect More ~ Execute Better. Are you expecting more and executing better? Sounds simple, but it's not easy. You have to train your brain to expect more and you also have to work on executing better. Those 4 words are what separate the most successful people from those who are struggling. Expect More ~ Execute Better. Start expecting more NOW!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Winners And Losers

"Losers focus on making a living. Winners focus on making a life."~Larry Winget

Wow, Winget just slaps you in the face with the truth! Are you focused on making a living or making a life?? Are you really?  I know when things get bad that we just try to ride out the storm and we are just focused on making ends meet.  That's NOT making a life!  That's playing small!!

I think that most of us started out to make a life, but then life got in the way and now we are just focused on making a living. To pay the bills, to take care of things, to take that vacation...When people ask you "how are you doing?" do you answer with "I'm just paying the bills?" If so, that's all you will ever do. You need to change your outlook!  You need to focus on making a life.

How can you start to be focused on making a life?  Start out by defining what you want in your life.  And then start going after those things!  Too many people stay stuck in thinking about what they don't want in their life and that's why they never get what they do want.

Action:
Get clear on what you want out of life and then go after it. Most people don't get what they want because they aren't clear or don't have any idea what they want. Get clear now!!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Exepct More!

What Do You See?

"One never sees what has been done, one only sees what needs to be done."~Marie Curie

How often do you look and admire, respect, glow about what you have accomplished? We are so busy trying to do all that needs to be done, we don't take the time to enjoy what we have done already!

It's not vainglorious to admire what we have done, in fact, it should inspire us to do even more. I know that when I do something well, I look to see what else I can do to the same level. We need to Claim what we have done as our own.

Where is your vision, both your eyesight and your mental vision? What are you focusing on? Does that focus allow you to enjoy what you've done? Why not? We don't reward ourselves enough for what we do. We are always trying to do more.

Thoreau had it right when he went to Walden Pond and asked himself if he was the richest man in New England because of what surrounded him, or if it was because he had so little need for anything else...

Give yourself a 5 minute party today and celebrate your achievements and then go back to doing what needs to be done. I guarantee you that it will make your day and you will have a different outlook on doing the things that need to be done!
