Don’t believe in miracles - depend on them. - Laurence J Peter
The only thing we can control in this life are our thoughts, and you must ask yourself what kind of thoughts are you holding in the forefront of your consciousness today? Are they positive, or are they negative? What is the level of expectancy in your life when it comes to abundance in all things? Is the world conspiring for or against you?
Now let me a little bit up front and honest. I used to live by the philosophy that God hated me, it used to be a running joke between me and my good friend Jim that this was true. If whatever I was involved in could go wrong, it could and would.
My personal level of expectancy was don’t expect too much, the world was not conspiring for me, it was conspiring against me. This is no longer true for me, in fact it was NEVER TRUE except for in my perceived reality that I was consciously creating about me. To put it bluntly I had friends and family conspiring FOR me on a daily basis. I look back now and realize I was the luckiest son of a gun to be walking this planet, and still am today. I tell people all the time I am blessed, and this isn’t some airy fairy affirmation that I am repeating in order to override some thought of negation I hold on to tightly, but something I tell people with all sincerity.
My outlook on life and the level of expectation I have for my experience has changed, so much so that the first thoughts uttered from my lips when I wake up in the morning are, “I bless this day.” This isn’t something I force myself to do, but are words that I am finding that I utter without even thinking before my mind is even fully awake and guess what. Regardless of what happens, my day is blessed because nothing can override the love, respect and appreciation I receive from some of the best people to walk this planet, which are my family and friends and in the end that is all that matters.
I am a wealthy man, I now know this, and because of this my level of expectancy has risen and the Universe works to meet those expectations and continues to bless me. Is my life perfect? Nope. But you can’t say I am not blessed, and when I get up tomorrow I’ll wake up and utter those words once again, walk out the door and expect abundance to continue to flow to me and through me and it will.
