There is another way, even if what you expected isn't working.
What I'm about to tell you may be a game changer. First, some background.
Your thinking and feelings are engines that create what's happening in your life. If you don't like what you see, you can recreate something better.
Let's begin with a straightforward example of visualization using the Law of Attraction — cause and effect — when it operates positively.
A skin care specialist visualized lots of people calling for appointments.
Results? Shortly after, the receptionist reported that she booked several sessions for her – just as she asked for in her visualization.
However, she didn't specify what kind of appointments.
Results? One was for a bikini wax, and she really doesn't like to give them.
Because of her busy schedule, the client couldn't get a wax as soon as she wanted but made the appointment anyway. In the meantime, the visualizer mused about how she didn't want to do the wax.
Results? The client canceled.
She manifested what she envisioned and then reimagined.
Your experience may differ. So let's get to what matters most to you. Why is your life happening the way it is?
Do you sometimes feel like you're drowning and looking for a life saver?
Is this you?
I don't know if I believe in this stuff. I tried it, and it didn't work. I did everything right. I visualized, had a positive attitude, created a vision board, and still no results.
Could it be that one part of you did "all the right things" and another part freaked out with anxiety or doubt? Were you feeling frustrated, angry, desperate or scared? What if it doesn't work? Remember my past failures?
Your world reflects what you predominantly think and feel.
No need to worry. Neville in Your Faith Is Your Fortune wrote this:
"Just as a branch withers and dies if the sap of the vine ceases to flow towards it, so do things and qualities pass away if you take your attention from them; because your attention is the sap of life which sustains the expression of your life."
When you fuss and fret, your attention is on what you don't want. Instead, change your focus, including emotionally, to what you choose.
TIP: Don't EXPECT results.
Say again. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?
Expecting results is a booby trap, and you're no boob. Here's how it can foil your efforts.
In Soulgoals' goal setting, we ask for "this or something better." Why? Because God, the universe or whatever you choose to call the Prime Source of all life, may have a better way to bring results.
Energetic clinging, that is emotionally holding onto a preconceived idea of how and when our goals should occur, can repel positive results.
Consider a girl focused on finding a boyfriend. Just as dogs can detect fear, guys can sense desperation and run for the hills. However, when she clarifies her intention but lets go of the needy pursuit, she creates space for her dreams to come true.
I'm an expert on expectation... and why it didn't always get me what I've wanted.
I can trick myself into thinking I let go when I'm really WAITING FOR, aka EXPECTING, a result from a specific source.
For example, in the past, while putting a group together, I expected my next event would fill it. If I had a financial goal, I expected a particular client to fulfill it. I said I let it go, but I tried to control the outcome: I patiently relaxed to manifest my goals the way I expected. I knew how I thought it would happen… and I took action to make it happen.
Here's the telltale downside. When it didn't happen how and when I expected, I got disappointed. Next came fear and my former default program: Oh no, what am I going to do?
This started a vicious circle of expectation and disappointment which attracted more things to be discouraged about.
Now, I still hold events and have clients that could bring the results I've intended and visualized. But, if they don't, it's called NEXT. God will supply from other sources.
God is your supply.
Don't expect your supply to come from a person, event or anything in particular. You are ALWAYS taken care of by God, but results often come differently than you think they SHOULD. Results come when you let go and let God.
Feeling dejected, rejected or injected with fear is not trusting your Prime Source.
Trust is not giving up, playing the victim or moaning about what's not working. These are childhood responses.
Instead, trust by ANTICIPATING RESULTS. Anticipate your needs are fulfilled beyond your wildest expectations. Adopt a childlike curiosity of wonder instead of dictating an expectation.
It's your job to:
Make a choice.
Pay attention to your inner nudges.
Take action on what you're inwardly guided to do.
Let the Prime Source fill in the how and when and where and by whom.
Remember:
Anticipate, don't expect.
Trust that God can and does manifest goals you choose or something better.
Don't like your new creation? Don't create a story about how you never get what you want, etc. Choose again.
Anticipate the best and you change the way your world is happening for you. This or something better!

Would you like help shifting from anticipating to expecting something better… and forgiving yourself from the unnecessary disappointment and frustration that belief created for you over the years?
