Are you Expecting the right things?
Read More: We all have heard that "You can't always get what you want, but if we try real hard, we get what we need" correct?
But it is wrong. The statement should read like this: You can't always get what you want, but you can get what you expect!
And if you let that sink in, I am sure you will agree. If you expect good things they will happen, but if you expect bad things then they wil happen also.
Here is an article that I saw yesterday and felt like sharing with you.
Achieving Success by Expecting Success by Zig Ziglar
When you plan and prepare carefully, you can legitimately expect to have success in your efforts. When you recognize and develop the winning qualities that you were born with, the winner you were born to be emerges. When you plan and prepare to make a sale, for example, you can legitimately expect to make a sale. Although not all your expectations are going to come to pass, you give yourself an infinitely better chance of succeeding by taking the proper steps. Regardless of your goal—losing weight, making more sales, furthering your education, earning a promotion, saving money for a new home or an exotic vacation—you can expect to achieve your goal if you plan and prepare for it.
Also understand that the path from where you are to where you want to be is not always smooth and straight. The reason for the twists and bumps is simple, and it has nothing to do with you. It has more to do with the fact that not everyone is as interested in your success as you are. Some people may accidentally hinder your efforts; others who are in competition with you and have little or no integrity may try to sabotage your efforts.
Keep in mind, though, that when you hit those roadblocks, your character, commitment and attitude are the determining factors in your success. Carefully review your plan of action, seek wise counsel, and be particularly careful to feed your mind good information. An optimistic, positive mind is far more likely to come up with creative solutions than a mind that dwells on setbacks and difficulties.
Bottom line: expect success and you can achieve it!

Zig is one of my favorites!
Thank you, Tim, for caring enough to share. Remembering that thoughts and expectations create the map to our future is a big part of keeping them positive. :-D
Positivity breeds creativity.
Great post Tim! It reminds me of a quote I heard from my pastor: "Forget about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey instead." When we expect great things we won't be troubled by the bumps or holes in the road, but our focus is on our ultimate success!

You get what you Expect
Hey Tim, thanks so much for sharing the article. You are so right, when I finally took the time to stop and think...all my life I've gotten what I've expected. So appreciative I've learned to expect what I want.
"all my life I've gotten what I've expected"
This brings to mind early childhood experiences that determined my outlook later in life.
This is so true Tim, if you
This is so true Tim, if you expect to succeed you must plan and prepare for it. Thanks for sharing
When I Hit The Wall I Look Up!
I know there is good for those who Love Christ! Even when it looks and feels ugly! I cling to that! Expecting goodness in all that we do seems to really impact the positive results that are always there, although sometimes it may take awhile to identify it. Expect, Plan, Do and watch our dreams come true! Excellent article Tim!
