Do You Hope For The Best?

I was reading a book a few weeks ago ("The Other Mind's Eye" by Allen Sargent) and it talked about hoping for the best versus expecting the best.  When we hope for the best, our thoughts are less concrete.  When we expect the best, we make plans.

Here's the inside scoop:  having a plan for what we want to happen, then figuring out what we gain from it happening (a sense of belonging, security, unconditional love) then planning to put ourselves in situations where we can feel those feelings before we meet our heart's desires is the secret of "The Secret".  Since there is no perfect childhood and we are all humans, no one has every basic human need met to its fullest extent.......most of us want more.

If you felt secure and loved unconditionally as a child and have never had cause to question it, you've probably already met some of your goals.  If you started life without unconditional love and security, or you had trauma in your life causing doubts about feeling secure, your first step needs to be reconnecting to that sense of knowing everything is ok.

So let's all begin to expect the best life has to offer, instead of hoping for the best.  In our minds, we can take a first step toward our goals, and begin to feel the feelings of what success and happiness mean to us.  We all deserve good things to happen to us.  We have to believe that about ourselves.

Have a great day!!
