Topic 3.5. The Law of Expectancy

The Law of Expectancy

Whatever I can conceive and believe, I can achieve.

First you believe, then you achieve. The Law of Expectancy is a natural law, based upon a mere hope and the possibility of receiving with no direct provision, promise, or trust. Whether we realise it or not, our total wellbeing is controlled by the law of expectancy. It is consciousness on demand.

Whilst you may not fully understand all that is going on around you, you must place your thoughts on goodness, love, and beauty if you expect to live a satisfying, fulfilled life, for surely what you give will be re-given to you. Your joy, health and success are all dependent upon what you expect from life. What you receive from life, is based upon your thoughts and actions. Expect the best and you will reap positive rewards from the Law of Expectancy.

If you expect to experience joyousness in your life, you must begin to enjoy. Start now! These pleasant, joyous thoughts will spontaneously create within your being a relaxed state of happiness, with increased energy.

One way to achieve an excellent start to each day is to expect to have a wonderful day. Your creative, ever-changing masterpiece, the universe, is full of wonder, beauty, balance and love. Capture the feeling of joy and love within you and love will reflect love back to you, just like a smile will reflect a smile back to you.

The Law of Expectancy also applies to your health: total physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Expect a miracle today. You have all the power of the universe at your disposal, and you can start to tap into this power, just by starting to live with the law of expectancy. The Power that made the body, also heals and maintains it with maximum health. One small step of smiling within, and letting it shine out to the world through your eyes, and your facial muscles – this by itself will allow you to relax, and have a more positive, expectant attitude. You will feel the increased, vibrant energy this allows. Try it now. Relax, smile within and let it shine forth to the world. Feel it! This is a wholesome, natural state in which your body will start to function better and better. Vibrant, joyous, and radiant health is a natural state of the Universe. As quickly as we expect a change, a change will spontaneously start to occur. Yes, your body has limitations of matter, but who knows what the limitations are? No matter what the condition, expect a miracle today, and you will spontaneously and immediately feel more relaxed and happier and therefore be in better health.

The Law of Expectancy is a simple philosophy, where people will rise to meet the expectations you have of them. For example: if a person is continually praised, supported and given a proper, positive vision and feedback about what he or she could become, they will one day become that person. Conversely, if a person is constantly questioned, berated and reprimanded, he or she will not have the self esteem to rise to the challenges of their position.

Treat people as though they were what they ought to be

and you help them become what they are capable of being.

Goethe

No matter what you are doing, the idea of love and joy held in your mind, will automatically give you increased energy and allow the work to flow easier. If you ‘hate’ or ‘dislike’ doing something, you will find that the work becomes drudgery, according the degree of ‘hatred’ or ‘dislike’ you are experiencing. Smile, look for what is beneficial in its accomplishment. Expect to enjoy the work and derive energy from your enjoyment or love of it, and it will be so.

Success and prosperity are controlled by the Law of Expectancy. Expect to receive, in any circumstance, what comes into your mind. Failure arises when a person dwells on problems and failing, and so they fail. A successful person knows that they will be successful and prosperous, and their life is blessed with abundance.

You must develop an attitude and feeling of success and prosperity in everything you do. Just feel it. Live it. Be it. Act as if it were already taking effect.

Keep a positive outlook at all times, and realise that you have the infinite power of the universe working with you. It will work for you, for your failure or success – you get to decide. Engage the Law to work for your success and prosperity. Expect it, and it will be so. Anytime you have a negative thought, doubt, or fear just say to yourself: “Cancel the negativity!” And then replace it immediately with the positive thought and feeling you desire for the good of all, and the law of expectancy will function in all its power for you to achieve your desire. Expect success, and start the action necessary to accomplish that success. Action is necessary. First comes the action of thought, namely, to live the law of expectancy, then, the physical action to achieve the desired results of success and prosperity. Aligning yourself with the law of expectancy can have a dramatic effect on your total wellbeing. Your joy, health, and success are intimately tied into this law. Put the power of the law of expectancy to positive use in your life, and you will have a richer, more abundant life.

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,

whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable

– if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.

Philippians 4:8

If you expect and accept that your life will have its ups and downs, your mind will be a lot more peaceful.
