Manage Your Own Expectations

To achieve more, expect more. In many areas, optimists achieve greater success than pessimists. Optimists and positive thinkers achieve more because they expect more, and as a result work harder and more persistently toward their goals. Whatever you expect with confidence, positive or negative, becomes your reality. If you confidently expect to succeed, if you confidently expect to learn something from every experience, if you confidently expect to become wealthy as a result of applying your talents and abilities to your opportunities and you maintain that attitude of confident expectations long enough, it will become your reality. It will give you a positive optimistic cheerful attitude that will cause people to want to help you, and will cause things to happen the way you want them to happen.

Work to make your expectations a reality. You are most likely to get disappointed if you just expect something to happen but don't work on making it happen.
