I was playing with my little girl when I received a text message. We had a work-related problem it seems, with a hint of panic. I paused for a moment to assess how I should react.

It will sort itself out, I thought. And right now, I don’t need to do anything more than expect the best.

A few minutes later, the problem did get all sorted out. It was simply a slight bump in the road, and now we’re back to smoothly cruising down the highway.

All the journaling and reading about deliberate creation is paying off, I think. I just can’t be moved to panic any more. I always manage to keep calm and everything works out just fine.

I shift my attention to what I want, I focus on it and so it happens. It feels so empowering to be in control of any given moment in my life.

No magic there, just common sense. What you expect, you get. Stop observing and start focusing on what you want to happen.

It takes constant practice and present moment awareness, not an easy feat in this fast – paced distracted world. But it can be done, it has to be done if you want to live your life deliberately.

A few hours before the work week begins I set my intention:

I am accomplishing everything I need to do in an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way. I expect everything to run smoothly and everyone to work efficiently. And we’re getting a high rating on our airing day.

Tonight as I go to bed, I will sleep with a peaceful mind and a grateful heart for the day that has just gone and the one that is about to come. I imagine we’re accomplishing awesome things this week.

What do you expect? Expect the best and you’ll get it.
