What Do You Expect?
佛罗伦萨·斯高伏尔·西恩/Florence Scovel Shinn
信念意味着期待——你的信念造就了你这个人。
我们也可以说,向你期待的方向发展,最终成就你自己。那么,你期待的是什么?
我们常常听人们说“我们期待更坏的事情降临”或“糟糕的事情还没有发生”。他们这是故意给自己找麻烦。
我们也会听到这样的说法:“我期待更好的改变。”这样的人已经把幸运之神请进了他们的生活。
所以,改变你的期待,你的境况就会得到改善。
当你已经形成患得患失的习惯时,怎样才能改变你的期待呢?
你首先要坚定信念:自己能够成功,一定会拥有幸福美满的生活。你还要做好充分的准备。
做一些事情,以表明你的期待。实际上,这种积极的信念甚至能够影响你的潜意识。
假如你打算装饰一下自己的家,那么不要有片刻的犹豫。马上行动吧!你可以去买一些装饰品、桌布,等等。
把注意力集中在美好的事物上,那么你自然会与美好的事情结下良缘。美好的事情迟早会来到你的身边,除非你整日抱怨:“我真可怜,事事不顺心。”
我们的潜意识即我们的灵魂。不管事实看起来多么不可思议,你都可以期望从上帝那里得到好处。
最重要的是,不管你拥有什么愿望,都必须付诸实践,让自己朝好的方向发展。而且,不管身处何种境遇,都要看到积极的一面。这样,你才能成为生活的主宰者。
Faith is expectancy, "According to your faith, be it unto you."
We might say, according to your expectancies be it done unto you; so, what are you expecting?
We hear people say:"We expect the worst to happen," or "The worst is yet to come." They are deliberately inviting the worst to come.
We hear others say:"I expect a change for the better." They are inviting better conditions into their lives.
Change your expectancies and you change your conditions.
How can you change your expectancies, when you have formed the habit of expecting loss, lack or failure?
Begin to act as if you expected success, happiness and abundance; prepare for your good.
Do something to show you expect it to come. Active faith alone, will impress the subconscious.
If you have spoken the word for a home, prepare for it immediately, as if you hadn't a moment to lose. Collect little ornaments, table-cloths, etc.!
Keep on noticing beautiful things, and you make an invisible contact. Sooner or later these things are drawn into your life, unless you say, "Poor me, too good to be true."
The soul is the subconscious mind. You can expect any seemingly impossible Good from God.
Get the realization that every blessing is good in action, and see God in every face and good in every situation. This makes you master of all conditions.
