Denis WaitleyThe Power of Positive Self-Expectancy: The Psychology of Winning

An Article By Denis Waitley

Positive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top-achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do. And optimism is expecting the most favorable result from your own actions.

There never was a winner who didn’t expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run. So winners accept the belief that hope and a deep, unbreakable faith — forged into a fundamental attitude of positive self-expectancy — is the eternal spring from which all creative, motivating energy flows.

The idea that faith conquers all has been verified from biblical times to current-day medical histories to daily stories of heroism and come-from-behind victories and rags-to-riches success we read about every day in the newspapers. They’re human biographies of greatness we read about, hear about, and watch on TV. And we marvel over these special people who pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.

Let me ask you this: Did it ever occur to you that you, also, are one of these special people? Well, you are! You see, most of the real winners in life are so busy contributing, they don’t even think of seeking publicity for their acts. Most of them are discovered by the media, caught in the act of winning. Only a few famous people are winners, and only a few winners will become famous people. That’s because success is a very individual thing. Success is the way you spend your minutes doing your best for others. It is the way you take the talent you were born with, and the knowledge and skills you have since developed, and use them fully, toward a purpose that makes you feel worthwhile, according to your own individual, internal standards.

In your quest for excellence, there are two powerful sets of great expectations affecting your life. First, there are the expectations that others close to you have for you. And then there are the expectations that you have for yourself. While we all try to rise to the expectations others have for us, there is no question that our limitations and success will be based, most often, on our own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.

As a behavioral scientist studying the lives of thousands of winners and losers, I find that “psycho,” the mind, is your own best fortuneteller to forecast the actions of “soma,” the body. And understanding this mind-and-body, psychosomatic relationship is the key to understanding the importance of the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a winner: that of positive self-expectancy. Winners expect another good day, a promotion, a raise, to find a parking place, a productive meeting, and a harmonious family life — and they usually get them. Winners know that their actions will be controlled by their current obsessions. Losers generally expect more of the same frustration, more problems, the loss of a job, a dull evening, bad service, and failure.  Most importantly, losers expect to feel bad and get sick — and they do.

Careful studies of the life histories of thousands of widely differing people have shown that the probability of health changes, such as sickness, accident, even pregnancy, can be predicted. We are learning that all disease is not necessarily caused by germs. All of us have germs, but only a few become ill as a result. Instead, the cause of disease is loosely linked with the way individuals react to life. The link between stressful life changes, expectant anxiety, and health changes seems to be associated with the body’s immune system, which makes antibodies to fight foreign material and germs. Situations that arouse fear and anxiety suppress antibody productions as well.

Distrustful situations may also upset production of hormones, which have a role in emotional balance. An emotionally upset individual is much more prone to accidents.

But what does all this have to do with positive self-expectancy and winning attitudes? Simply this: Mental obsessions DO have physical manifestations. You do become that which you fear. You get what you suspect. You are that which you expect to be. This power of the self-fulfilling prophecy is one of the most amazing phenomena of human nature. What do you expect for yourself? You should expect the best. The winners in life, believing in the self-fulfilling prophecy, keep their momentum moving upward by expecting better jobs, more money, good health, better family relationships, financial security, warm friendships, and success.

All really successful individuals fervently desire and expect to win — no matter what curve life throws at them. Think about Helen Keller, who graduated magna cum laude and devoted her entire life to the service of others, although she had been deaf and blind since infancy. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had polio. The modern artist Matisse created some of his best work when he was nearly blind, aged, and bedridden. A young woman named Patti Catalano overcame the self-destructive habits of overeating and chain-smoking to become one of the top 10 marathon runners in the world. I remember a little girl who took her optimism from the back streets of Harlem to the center court at Wimbledon — Althea Gibson. In spite of their handicaps, they expected to do their best. They wanted to achieve and expected to excel.

But there’s more to positive self-expectancy than meets the eye. Medical researchers have discovered that the body produces natural morphine-like substances that operate on certain receptor sites in the brain and spinal cord. These natural internal opiates are called endorphins. Secreted and used by the brain, endorphins reduce the experience and screen out unpleasant stimuli. In fact, the presence of endorphins actually causes the feeling of well-being.

In one related study, actors were wired to electrodes and connected to blood catheters. They were then asked to perform various scenes. When they portrayed characters who were angry or depressed, endorphin levels dropped. But when the scene called for emoting joy, confidence, and love, endorphin levels shot up dramatically. Science has shown that positive thoughts produce endorphins. Endorphins, in turn, encourage feelings of optimism and well-being. So it works both ways. You sing because you’re happy, and you’re happy because you’re singing. Sixty to 70 percent of the population who visit physicians are sick as a result of an emotional feeling of stress because of the pressure they feel from life. That’s why it’s critically important to remember that the key to winning positive self-expectancy is to understand that in the long run, every individual receives just about what he or she expects. And if you have faith that if you do things the right way, you’ll be rewarded accordingly — you’ll be a winner!

Optimism is a way of life. Some techniques for generating a greater attitude of positive self-expectancy include the following: First, look at problems as opportunities — search for the favorable aspects of every situation. Next, learn to stay relaxed and friendly, no matter how much pressure and tension you’re under. In the beginning, it’s likely that you’ll have to fake it. But the truth is that both calmness and courage are learned habits, and there’s no better way to learn a good habit than by actually getting in and doing it and living it. Next, and this is very important, in dealing with other people, instead of griping, try praising. In place of cynicism, try optimism. Instead of being unhelpfully critical, try being constructively helpful. You know these are learned habits, too. And everyone is dependent on others for at least part of their own positive self-expectancy.

And next, get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire. You can smell it, taste it, and see it a mile away. Everybody loves a winner. But nobody crowds around a loser’s locker room. Don’t run around with the doomsayers who look up and shout that the sky is always falling. Optimism and realism go together. They are the problem-solving twins. Pessimism and cynicism are the two worst companions. Surround yourself with the “no-problem, can-do” type with big dreams like your own. It’s the excitement of the big dream that carries you through the setback that you encounter. The single most outwardly identifiable quality of a winner is positive self-expectancy — optimism. It’s the key to good health. It’s the key to happiness, and it puts the favorable inclination toward the achievement of every goal you set. Positive self-expectancy is the winner’s edge.

Using EFT To Clear The Top 10 Destructive Money Beliefs

As part of the Emotional Freedom Techniques Series, I will like to share this article by Carol Tuttle with you as posted in the official EFT site.

You can click here to read the article in its natural state or continue reading a summary of what it’s being shared.

Do you know that one of the reasons that you are not making ends meet today, could be that you are holding some negative beliefs on yourself with relationship to Money.

My mum has this negative belief. All the while when I am still young, she is always telling herself that any money earned is meant to be spent. And I can say that, she held that belief very strongly. Any money that she’s earned, it’s spent on something and by the end of the month, she has little left. Being brought up in that environment, I can share that I am still affected by that belief but with the help of EFT and the teachings of many authors of personal development - I have managed to control that bad habit.

If you are truly having similar issues, it’s time to do some research into yourself. Understand how you were brought up, the habits being implanted into you since young or any bad experiences with money you have been subjected to…

One of the ways as shared by the article is that EFT can help to flow and grow money. If you are having limited beliefs about money - it’s time to tap them out.

As shared in the article - while tapping all the points repeat the following set-up phrase to release your destructive beliefs about money.

Even though I am still believing, I now choose to release:

  1. Money is not spiritual
  2. I will never have enough money
  3. I’ll probably just fail anyway
  4. But we can’t afford that
  5. Rich people are greedy and dishonest
  6. If I’m successful, my friends will be jealous and stop liking me
  7. I’m no better than my parents, so I shouldn’t make more then they did
  8. I might forget what’s truly important and not like the person I’ve become
  9. Money is the root of all evil
  10. I’m not worthy

Next, while tapping all the points, repeat this set-up statement with each of the following reframes.

I am now believing and radiating these truths about money:

  1. I am grateful I am free to create whatever I want with money, I now choose to experience money as a spiritual resource in my life
  2. I am grateful that there is enough money for everyone and it is everyone’s birthright to create wealth. I choose to create mine now.
  3. I am successful, I am safe to making mistakes and learning better ways to do business, I am ready, success is my god-given natural right
  4. I am always flowing more in than is going out, I am wise in my purchases and a good steward of my money
  5. I am grateful that I am an honest and generous rich person
  6. I am a great example to my friends and associates, as I choose my birthright of wealth others are more free to choose this as well
  7. I am knowing my parents did the best they knew how, and I am free and it is appropriate to create more than what they chose to experience
  8. I am safe to create wealth. I am always following my spiritual guidance, it does not matter how much money I have, I always choose this
  9. Money is a god-given resource that I am choosing to use to bless my life and others
  10. I am worthy and I am ready, I choose wealth now.

The statements can be adjusted or changed to suit your level of understanding because how each perceive is not the same. So adjust the statement according to your own - do note that the statements must be positive.

Next, with a bit of understanding of how your Subconscious Mind work - Focus on the negative, You’ll get negative; Focus on the positive, you’ll get positive results.

Lastly, whatever the situation you’re in, do not let the lack of money be your focus, rather do what’s required of you to do the right thing and money will come to you naturally.

The Power of Applied Kinesiology and Two Experiments to Try

I had a chance to understand some stuff on Applied Kinesiology, an *ancient term* to me from the book “Be Your Own Guru by Olivia Stefanino”

Disclaimer: I have to use the word “Applied Kinesiology” because according to Wikipeida, the word “Kinesiology” and “Applied Kinesiology” is not of the same meaning. Therefore, I do not want to share the wrong stuff to you. (There is certainly some disputes to this like the Law of Attraction, but who cares when you care, right?)

According to what I have learned, through the understanding of Applied Kinesiology, we’re able to see the connection between our mind, body and spirit.

In simple terms as being put, if there is a substance or thought (do note here) - is good for you, your muscles are strengthened but if it’s vice versa, your muscles are weakened.

A simple two experiments (using physical and thoughts) as shared in the book which you can try for yourself.

The first experiment (physical substance), you will need:

The 21 Secrets To Becoming A Millionaire by Brian Tracy

Way back in June, I shared about a good website that provide a good resource on one of the works of Brian Tracy - The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires. Each secret is based on exhaustive research and interviews with thousands of self-made millionaires and has been tested over and over again.

I went back to that site again. Apparently, they only leave behind the introduction and secret #1.

But they are still collecting email addresses from that site (why is that so?). Since then I have removed the post from my blog. But in any case you feel that you need to refresh your memories on these 21 Secrets, I have managed to get the 21 Secrets but not in any full depth for your reference. Here it goes…

Discover The 90/10 Principle By Stephen Covey

Discover the 90/10 Principle By Stephen Covey (English and Chinese Version)

Discover the 90/10 Principle.
發現了 90/10 的定律。

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
它將改變你的一生（最低限度，它將改變你對不同情況的反應）。

What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.
90/10 的定律是什麼？生命的 10% 是由你的際遇所組成，餘下的 90% 則由你的反應而決定。

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.
這意味著什麼？我們無法掌握那 10% 的際遇。 我們無法阻止行程因汽車壞掉、航班誤點，甚或車子拋錨而延誤。

We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
我們無法控制那 10% 的際遇，但餘下的 90% 則不然。你可以決定餘下的 90% 。

How? ……….By your reaction.
如何？ … 憑你的反應。

You cannot control a red light. But you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
你不能控制交通燈轉紅，但你能夠控制你的反應。別讓他人愚弄你，你能夠控制你的反應。

Let’s use an example.
讓我們舉個例子。

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee
onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.
你與你的家人吃早餐，你的女兒不小心把咖啡潑倒在你的襯衫上，這是你無法控制的情況。

What happens next will be determined by how you react.
下一步將如何則由你的反應而定。

The Three Principles of A Spiritual Millionaire

Just realized that I have been away from my blog for quite some time… days to be exact. To be frank, I have been kind of lost, seems to be lost without any guided directions. Saw my piles of books and notes lying around in the room… Got this hunch to pick them up.

Should say new feelings surge, there was this “inner calling”, that seems to be pushing me forward. That seems to be a new puzzle in my life - the need to find the answer to the secrets of being a millionaire.

And these secrets somehow are linking me back to the Law of Attraction, EFT and many more. So very nice that I came across this email from Dr. Robert Anthony. He shares the 3 Principles that a Spiritual Millionaire needs to have…

I believe this gives me more and new insights as to how I should carry on with this blog. As readers of this blog, I hope I can share my feelings that I have gotten out of those “Millionaire Mindset” books. Most importantly, how this and more are linked. Enjoy this Article…
