My SED held her Director's meeting today jointly with her other local upper level directors. One of the Execs there read this and it really moved me. It is from the book Scriptures and Meditations for Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen. (I stopped by the bookstore on my way home and bought myself a copy!) This made me realize that I do not truely belive in my abilities and that I am holding myself back....well, no more! You'll read about me in the CN one of these days :)

Enjoy!

RAISE YOUR LEVEL OF EXPECTANCY

God is extremely interested in what you see through your “spiritual eyes”. If you have a vision for victory in your life, you can rise to a new level. But as long as your gaze is on the ground instead of on your possibilities, you risk moving in the wrong direction and missing out on the great things God wants to do in and through you. It’s a spiritual as well as a psychological fact: We move toward what we see in our minds.

Your life will follow your expectations. What you expect is what you will get. If you dwell on positive thoughts, your life will move in that direction; if you continually think negative thoughts, you will live a negative life. If you expect defeat, failure, or mediocrity, your subconscious mind will make sure that you lose, fail, or sabotage every attempt to push above average. If you raise your level of expectancy, you will enlarge your vision.

It’s important that you program your mind for success. You must think positive thoughts of victory, of abundance, of favor, of hope. Each day, you must choose to live with an attitude that expects good things to happen to you. Start your day with faith and set your mind in the right direction, then go out expecting the favor of God. Expect to excel in your career and rise above life’s challenges. Believe God for a great future. You have good things coming!

THIS COULD BE THE DAY YOU SEE YOUR MIRACLE.
 
Thanks for posting this, Linda. It's along the same lines of how people "create their own luck." It's so important to remember and make into a practice.
 
Love it!!!!!
 
Thanks Linda I need that. I'm going to have my husband read it too.
 


Dear friend,

Thank you for sharing this powerful message. It is a reminder to all of us to raise our level of expectancy and believe in the great things that God has in store for us. I am so glad that you were moved by this and have taken action by purchasing the book. I have no doubt that it will continue to inspire and motivate you on your journey to success.

As a pampered chef consultant, I have seen firsthand the power of positive thinking and having a vision for success. It is not always easy, but with faith and determination, we can overcome any obstacles and reach our goals. I am excited to hear that you are no longer holding yourself back and are ready to step into your greatness. I have no doubt that you will achieve amazing things and I look forward to reading about your success in the CN.

Always remember that with God, all things are possible. Keep raising your level of expectancy and trust in His plan for your life. I am cheering you on and I am here to support you in any way that I can. Let's continue to inspire and uplift each other on this journey to our best lives now. Have a blessed day!

With love and encouragement,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

This mindset shift can result in increased sales and greater overall success in your direct sales business.

What mindset changes are necessary to raise my expectations?

To raise your expectations, you need to cultivate a growth mindset.

This holistic approach can enhance your overall well-being and happiness, creating a more fulfilling life.

Can raising my expectations lead to burnout?

While raising your expectations can drive motivation and success, it’s essential to balance ambition with self-care. Setting unrealistic expectations can lead to stress and burnout. To avoid this, ensure that your goals are challenging yet achievable, and remember to celebrate small victories along the way.
