What's the Ingredient? It's Positive Expectancy and we all have it in our power to make it an integral part of our life. What is positive expectancy?
Positive Expectancy is all about "New Tomorrows" and the beautiful notion of "Starting Fresh" and "Starting over every day, any day".
The simple reality of it all is that the world wakes up and the world goes to sleep. What happens in between for the most part plays out based on what choices we make all day. The choices could be as simple as deciding to sit on a bus instead of standing.
I had an accident months ago and I played it over and over again in my mind. I remember thinking to myself that if I had left the store when I planned and not gone back for something it would have been someone else and not me in the accident.
The point is that you make decisions and choices all day long. Some work out in your favor and some don't and I say, so what. Why not decide to have an attitude that you're a good person and that you have the right to expect good things to happen to you and for you? It's a simple choice. It's also a numbers game.
The more you believe that you're worthy of good or great personal events the better chance you have of it coming true. Even if it happens initially only 20% of the time that's better than zero times and zero times it will be if your expectations are low or nonexistent.
The exciting reality here is that the more you use, strengthen and adjust your positive expectancy attitude the more your success percentage will go up. Expecting good things to happen every day for you is a choice that every human being should be making. I promise you there's no law, secular or religious, that says that you cannot expect great things to happen to you.
Your past does not determine what your life will be or could be. A firm decision to choose positive expectancy will start you on a journey of success and happiness. Patience and persistence will be the vehicles that get you to the finish line. All you have to realize and then commit to is the fact that you have the right to expect great things and that you'll have great things happen to you.
You have the chance to start your life over 365 days per year. Every year you have 365 chances to make your Dreams come true. Expect good things every day. Every night and every morning tell yourself that although the day may have challenging and stressful situations you still will have good things happen to you. Just say it out loud often and with feeling.
Will this be the day you go for it? Will you go for that dream that keeps you up at night? Will you go for the dream that makes your heart pump faster and your mind spin out of control?
Not today? That's ok. Don't ever give up.You have 364 more chances this year to make it happen.
I wish for you to have a lifetime of very powerful tomorrows.

CHANGE IS GOOD . . . . FOR THE NEW YEAR
BY DR. SHARON M. MELNICK
There is one "master" resolution. Without it all your other resolutions cannot be carried out. The one ability you wantto resolve to strengthen is Self Trust.
Self-trust is relying upon your inner resources (i.e.emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual) to achievedesired success and fulfillment. It enables you to staysteady and expand what you CAN control in this fast-changingworld, rather than try in futility to change marketconditions or other people.
Self trust is about believing in yourself , i.e., whetheryour efforts are worthwhile and will help you progresstowards the happiness and results you seek.
Self trust is about your ability to manage yourself, sothat when it comes time to do the behavior you've said ishealthy or constructive for you, you can get yourself to doit.
Self trust is about viewing yourself as worth treatingwell, i.e., that you are deserving of having the resultsyou are pursuing. This comes from seeing yourself as otherssee you, not through filters of self judgment.
You judge yourself because you think you will only beloveable to others or secure in your career if you live upto an ideal of perfection. Therefore you always compareyourself to this ideal, setting yourself up to fall shortand beat yourself up.
Everyone, no matter who you are, has felt crunched in thepast year or so. Some of us are feeling overwhelmed by thestresses, others of us are feeling resilient, knowing theywill land on their feet no matter what. Resilient peopleare energized and taking action everyday to createopportunities and keep their relationships strong.
Self trust is a key factor that determines how you will navigate through turbulent times.
How do you rate yourself on a 1-10 scale of Self Trust?What is your Resolution for how Self Trusting you want tobe in 2010 and the upcoming decade?
