Expect Amazing Things
If life teaches us anything, it’s this: certainty about how things will unfold is an illusion…
We can't know how anything will play out. Coupled with past disappointments, it's not surprising that this reality activates a preemptive, self-protective lowering of our hopes. But for the miracle-minded, uncertainty offers a shimmering gift: it's an opening for us to place our trust in Spirit and get our expectations up! Tamping down hopefulness is the surest way to block receptivity to the good coming our way.
it's all about trust
As a coach, I’ve seen that those who have a miracle mindset aren’t defined so much by what they expect of themselves as by their ever-growing trust in how Spirit is at work in their lives. They trust enough to expect good things. AND they trust enough to pull back on their own expectations of how things will work out.
we're not here to limit ourselves
If we focused on avoiding disappointment, we’re forgetting the Truth of Who We Are. We are not here to limit ourselves. We are here to cultivate expansive expectations of divinely sourced joy, abundance, and love.
Sure, maybe after countless job applications or dates that go nowhere, it’s tempting to lose hope. That’s the human experience, as we set it up. But if you let the outer world set the tone for your expectations, it’s like driving with the emergency brake on and wondering why you’re stuck.
get your expectations up!
When you let yourself get your hopes up, you’re practicing trust -- trust in the Holy Spirit, in love, and in your own worthiness to receive.
So, raise your expectations -- not because of what the world offers, but because of who you are in Spirit.
This week, take a moment to renew your trust. Your relationship with Holy Spirit is the foundation that cannot fail.
