The Folly of Expectations

Written by Administrator | 24 November 2010

Expectations represent the denial of True Power because they keep you in the limitations of the mind, cause disappointment and deny potential.

Expectations are very subtle. They spread silently throughout the unconscious psyche like bindweed. They block the natural flow of your intuitive wisdom and knowing.

Expectations stem from the illusory belief that you are separate from the authentic power of your Being. This illusion creates a fear which makes people want to know and control outcomes.

Expectation is an unconscious habit of conditioned thinking. I fell into the expectation trap recently. When the www.truepowerstrategy.com website went live I had an unconscious expectation that it would immediately result in people e-mailing to book courses and consultations. Instead of taking calls for work, a fault arose with my internet connection. I fell into another expectation believing that if I reported the fault it would be corrected quickly. Instead the technical support adviser forgot to report the fault. Days passed before I was advised that it may take a month before the fault is found and I am back on line. The result of these expectations was initially frustration, disappointment and stress demonstrating an absence of true power. Had I been open to any outcome and kept my consciousness in the now, I would have remained in the true power of my Being and avoided the discomfort of feeling stressed.

How do you recognise expectation? By becoming conscious of how expectation infects and affects your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Begin by monitoring your thoughts. Before you take any action be aware of what outcome you are expecting and then dismiss it. Allow the outcome of any action to be as it will. Listen and follow your intuitive guidance before taking any action and above all trust yourself. Finally, bring your consciousness into the now moment. This will release the true power of your Being.
