Be positive anyway
When you experience a setback, it may seem natural to respond
by lowering your expectations. Yet that is not the only
choice you have.
Just imagine what would happen if you did exactly the
opposite. Just imagine what would happen if you decided to
raise your expectations in response to each setback.
With such a strategy, negative momentum never has a chance
to take hold. For even the disappointments serve to push you
forward.
Your current expectations have much more power and influence
than anything that has occurred in your past. For it is your
current expectations that give direction to your energy and
your actions.
Choose to make that direction a positive, valuable, creative
one. From even the most burdensome difficulty, you can begin
to move forward immediately.
Base your expectations on your most treasured dreams and
your most profound purpose, rather than on life's random
events or circumstances. And nothing will be able to hold
you back for long.
