Plan Every Year with Positive Expectancy!

By Paul J. Meyer

This year can be the “year of your dreams;” the year of great accomplishment: the year you realize and utilize your untapped potential; the year you receive merited recognition; the year you achieve long-sought goals in your spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, financial, and family life.

This year will be exciting and rewarding only if you make it so. How can you determine to make it such a year? The year will hold accomplishment, realization, and achievement only if you expect it to happen: only if you enter and live each day with POSITIVE EXPECTANCY.

POSITIVE EXPECTANCY is the attitude you must adopt and maintain. The greatness of your accomplishments depends upon your understanding and application of the principles of positive expectancy: you must expect things to happen, and your expectations must be positive.

To illustrate the power of positive – and negative – expectancy, Norman Vincent Peale tells the story of a group of people who, at the end of one year, committed to writing their expectations for the coming year. Each person sealed his expectations in an envelope to be opened and read aloud at the end of the following year.

At the end of the year the notes were opened; the expectations of each had been fulfilled. The man who had written “All I can expect is more of the miserable same,” received in the new year exactly what he had expected.

A woman who had listed 10 worthy goals she expected to achieve found that 9 of the 10 goals had been accomplished.

Another man, basing his expectations upon the negative outlook for his Capricorn birth sign, predicted, “I look for difficulties and frustrations.” His negative expectations were realized. A woman in the group, whose birth sign was the same, did not know she should expect difficulties and predicted a satisfying year which had indeed come to pass.

Another man in the group had written, “as none of the men in my family have survived beyond the age of 60, therefore, I expect to die this year.” The man’s death had occurred one month before his sixtieth birthday. Each of us receives exactly what we expect, whether our expectations are positive or negative. We can see from these examples and from the many we have met during our lives that an attitude of positive expectancy is crucial to accomplishment and personal success.

How can we plan with positive expectancy?

First we must VIVIDLY IMAGINE—

We must develop the faculty of seeing with our “minds eye,” of concise and clear imagining. The law of attraction that we “tend to draw to ourselves” cannot be broken, and we must understand and exploit the tendency to become precisely what we imagine ourselves to be. The picture we hold in our minds tends to come to us.

Second, we must ARDENTLY DESIRE—

With the vivid imagination of our goals, our desire becomes more and more directed toward our goals. An ardent desire burning within creates in every new day an opportunity to earn and justify our rewards; to develop the consciousness and habits of success; to expect dividends commensurate with our investment; to seek a challenge to climb to greater heights. We accept enthusiastically the challenge to accomplish our dreams.

Third, we must SINCERELY BELIEVE—

The fruition of our goals, however vividly imagined and ardently desired, depends also upon a sincere belief in our ability and worthiness to attain our goals. Speaking of the power of such beliefs, Benjamin Disraeli said, “Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creature of men. We must understand that God has given us the power to perceive, picture, believe, struggle for, and attain good things.” William James affirmed the same truth when he said, “Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the only thing that insures the successful outcome of our venture.”

Fourth, we must ENTHUSIASTICALLY ACT—

“Enthusiasm” and “Action” are complementary and effective partners in bringing imagination, desire, and belief into reality. We must plan the action that will see our goals accomplished, making use of appropriate short-range goals. We must plan for obstacles we expect to meet and meet them as opportunities for creativity and as challenges to our desire and belief.

An important part of the power to act enthusiastically comes from the spirit of love and sharing with which we view our fellow man. The positive state of mind breeds acceptance of ourselves and of others. In such an atmosphere of acceptance and selflessness, we soon find that the more we give, the more we are capable of giving, and the more we give, the more we receive in return. The unfailing cycle of giving and receiving reinforces our commitment to positive expectancy.

Does living with positive expectancy mean that life will be easy, free from disappointment, frustration, and difficulties? Fortunately not! The “negatives” of daily life are like obstacles to our goals: they challenge and strengthen our abilities, resolve, and understanding.

One who lives with positive expectancy knows how to turn problems into procedures, how to recognize responsibility as opportunity, and how, in adversity, to see equivalent benefit. With positive expectancy pervading our thoughts, we seek growth and welcome change.

If you and I want to live with positive expectancy, we must vividly imagine great accomplishments. We must ardently desire that this year be the best year of our lives. We must sincerely believe in our abilities and in the goodness of man and of God. We must enthusiastically act upon our own plans and seize every opportunity to achieve.

I challenge you to plan and live this year with your thoughts and dreams filled with POSITIVE EXPECTANCY.


“The person who expects great things,
makes noble plans and daily pursues
them cannot help but succeed.”

With these thoughts, I leave you, this first day of Jan. 2006
Have a GREAT Year!

Can't say enough good about Adland Pro, Click and check it out.

I have been a member of ALP for almost 2 years now. Not knowing what I was doing, I didn't know what I was missing. For most of the time I only used ALP for their free advertising. Not being a great righter of ad copy the ads I placed there did quite well. One day I thought I woud find out why my sucky ads did so well at ALP. I saw a button named networking and I clicked it.

Sence then I have made hundreds of friends. Many of them helping me in all kinds of different ways. I am now involved in two projects by ALPr's for ALPr's to turn my more or less" Hobby Business" into a home business that will let me retire in style. I will keep you informed. I may be able to show you how if I'm not too dumb.

Anyway. If you are trying to start or run an online biz, check out Adland Pro. A community full of people that want to help others. Try them, you'll like them!

Thoughts on saving gas, Federal Trade Commission

According to this site you can not make a vehicle get better MPG unless you install pedals and drive like great granny!

I think this is pretty closed minded. Come on! Simple detergents and lubricants will improve the MPG of an old dirty engine. But they cause more pollution. How can a product like Enviromax Plus that makes gas burn up to 80% more complete, not save gas, lower harmfull pollutants, extend engine life and reduce maintainance costs?

Here is a link to check out Enviromax Plus

Another point of view

Speaking of that, I am doing research on Biodiesel. Any body got any interesting info on it? Let me know.

Sorry it has been so long between posts, tis the season to be busy,busy,busy.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

May you have plenty of GAS throughout the holiday season :)

Till next time.....Scott

Got to change the subject for a minute

Click on the title above and check out the site that has helped me the most in my online presance. I found them looking for free advertising. I found it and a lot more. Adland Pro is a great place to advertise, I have been getting hits from them sence I placed my first ad. Not knowing what I was doing I just left my ads and went looking for more spots to advertise.

Don't get me wrong the ads everywhere else got hits also. But Adland kept a steady flow comming in so I had to go back and see why. After looking at everything Adland offered I saw there was a great commnity there waiting to help everybody that asks. Now I am an active member in Adland Pro's communty. Never before have I had so much fun learning so much and meeting so many great people.

Whether you are new to internet marketing or an old Pro, Adland Pro can help you with adverising, leads, building your list and you may end up with some great new friends.

Everybody seems to want to make Enviromax Plus and Extreme Research into a scam or ripoff.
They are having a hard time of it! Any one who has tried EMP has seen inprovements in power and smoothness of running. Some with brand new vehicles do not see a great increase in MPG, but if monitered carefully all would see improvement. You have to. The fuel is burning up to 35% more effecently.

You can not make Enviromax Plus a ripoff, ItWorks! Extreme Research is a company tring to make money for them and their Co-Partners that are helping them make it. Not a Scam!

Anyway thats my point of view, clik on the link and read the point of view of others.
