Dare to Prosper - Part IX

Step 9

Expect it to happen!

This step always surprises me as to its power and one that I truly enjoy implementing in my life. It also amazes me how few people actually put this one into practice. It is almost if there is an element of doubt still lurking in the recesses of their mind that somehow tells them that they can’t have what it is they really want. This could be embedded lies that are preventing them by telling them that they may not be worthy or people like them don’t get what they really want. It could be years of failure that has become a self-fulfilling prophecy as to bad things happening to them. They may have conversations in their head that rob them of their destiny and support their belief that good things won’t come to them or if they do they are tied to bad things as a result. It truly is amazing that in so many cases we are our own worse enemy and the thoughts that we think.

So today I want you to prepare for what ever it is you are desiring.
For example if you want a new home: go by new towels or some thing that you would want just for your new home. If you want to have a baby – go out an buy a cute maternity top. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive it is only a token of what you are expecting to have in our life. If you want to go to some exotic place – buy something you will wear when you get there. The whole point of this step is to do one proactive thing to solidify in your mind that what it is you desire you will get. One of mine was I wanted to live in the mountains and go hiking so I bought hiking poles while I was still living in Illinois. I looked kind of funny walking the streets of Bolingbrook with my poles but today I live on a mountain and I hike almost every day and truly my poles come in handy. When I wanted to go to Alaska I got a key chain and whenever I opened a door I reminded myself that I would one day go to Alaska and I did. Right now I have a little wooden lawn chair sitting on a book shelf because my next desire is to have a cabin in the woods with a wrap around porch with great views of the mountains. So it doesn’t matter what it is but that you have some tangible thing that you can see and touch and be reminded that one day your desire will be yours.
