Heal Your Expectations

What we expect from life is usually what we get from it. If we expect prosperity and honor – that’s what we work toward and receive. If we expect poverty and disruption, that too is something we can achieve.

To heal your life, to put yourself in the situation you desire, start by healing your expectations. Easier said than done? Perhaps, but if you follow a plan for healing you’re very likely to achieve good results.


Start by listing elements of the life you aspire to. What will your income, relationships, and surroundings be like? Use detail. Put it in writing. Include tangibles (a new vacuum cleaner, perfectly compatible neighbors) and intangibles (better ability to concentrate, ability to read faster).

Once I came across a wish list I’d made years before, and was delighted to see that nearly every item on the list was part of my then-current reality. Well, you’re going to go through a similar process, so choose your desired elements of living wisely and well. What is really important, as opposed to what’s inconsequential?

Next, create a list of intentions and affirmations to use while manifesting your new life.

Third, say your intentions once, and your affirmations daily (or as often as possible) for a few weeks. Then let it all go and allow Source to work on and change your life.

Fourth, have faith in the process. Have you read The Magic of Believing?

Fifth, Be grateful in advance for all the help Source Energy (God) is giving you!

Now then, you’ve changed your expectations of life and soon your circumstances will change to come into alignment with your new, more positive mindset. All elements of your preferred life will reach you at the appropriate time.

How to Deal With Distractions

Distractions are very common during our work days. A distraction may be something as little as a dog barking outside, or something as complex as an unexpected phone call with someone who doesn’t ever want to ever stop talking. How we deal with petty irritations that take our minds off our work tells us a lot about the level of our spiritual consciousness connectivity.

The first line of defense is prayer. Ask Spirit to remedy the situation. Say, “God, I need help because __________ is keeping me from being able to work. Please change the situation so I can get some work done.” Now often, this leads to a swift dispersal of the distracting energy.


What if it doesn’t? What might that mean? My first thought is that faith might be lacking. Do you really believe that Spirit (God) answers prayers? Do you have faith that your spirit guides are watching out for your best interests? Words of prayer without the faith are rather empty. Along with faith goes gratitude in advance for the solutions you’re asking Spirit to enact on your behalf.

Another thought that comes to mind in the case of an unanswered prayer is that the supplicant may need patience, and Spirit is using the situation for your benefit, for patience-training purposes. If you have ever prayed for patience you may be getting lots of tests like these! After all, dogs do eventually stop barking and talkative phone callers do eventually hang up. Patience is nothing more than waiting without complaining (internally or externally).

What you may need is a better attitude toward distractions. Perhaps you need more flexibility so you can cheerfully handle these types of events. Go with the flow and be willing to change your plans for a few minutes, or hours, or however long it takes.

Send your love to the dog, to the too-talkative person, or whatever energy assails you. Your love energy will penetrate the distracting energy and change it to something more compatible with your purpose in life. Try it! Love starts with you!

Today’s key thought: Gratitude in Advance – meaning that you know Spirit will help you, so thank Spirit, your angels, and your spirit guides now.

The Power of Flexibility

The person who expects the unexpected and welcomes surprises as challenges rather than as roadblocks is going to be much more comfortable with difficulties than is an inflexible person who has rigid expectations of what life should provide. We’ve entered an era during which humanity may experience devastating shocks on both a personal and global scale. We need to be willing to accept unwelcome changes and move ahead gracefully.

Water is a flexible element. It flows downhill in whatever channel is most convenient. If a river’s course is suddenly altered after thousands of years, the water doesn’t stop to complain. It doesn’t put up a fight. It just keeps flowing on in the new direction, regardless of traditions of the past.


We need to be like that water, ready to take our place in the new world, and willing to give up the past without resistance. Embrace the present moment as it is our opportunity to free ourselves of useless desires for things that can no longer be. It is also the best time – the only time we have – to alter our attitudes and accept the challenges now before us.

Elevate your consciousness! Let the bird of your spirituality fly high above the morass of human controversy and denial. There are things we can’t change (the world’s corruption) and there are things we can change (our own outlook on life). This is the only real freedom we get – the freedom to mentally, spiritually fly above each unpleasant situation because our consciousness has been raised to a level above the evil that plagues humanity.

The more people are able to elevate their spiritual consciousness — the more there are doing it — the more likely it is that there will be a massive shift in consciousness for the vast majority of humanity, and when that happens, evil will be overwhelmed by goodness, and love will finally prevail.

You can be part of that change by preparing yourself spiritually to be flexible enough to flow through turmoil and chaos when it appears in the civilization around you, without any trauma to your emotional or mental bodies.

Remember this phrase: Fly Above The Situation – meaning, mentally soar in higher consciousness when difficulties assail you.
