+ Expectancy




I attended several social activities in the past three weeks hence there are many little notes that were made during those watching, listening and interactions opportunities but there are two contradictory situations that I want to share with you - Negativity and Believe.

During a visit to an area where we want to help building public toilets, a negative response was received from one of the families there. Still about negativity, a text message was received from a friend telling me that her sister who has cancer is struggling with her life and wanting to die as she felt all the medical efforts so far have been showing no good progress. Her negative feeling is possibly affected by anxiety, fatigue and ill health. Everything seems to be all negatives in her life. Past negative conditioning may have caused people to develop negative emotions. Having said that, however, we need to be aware that even positive individuals would have negative emotions in their lives from time to time.

In another gathering, people were filled with positive enthusiasm when I shared a very inspiring video in which the newly elected International President of the Lions Clubs International shares his ‘Believe’, the believe in the value of giving back and that one person truly can make a difference.

Changing negative habits of thought is indeed possible by simply discard the past conditioning that negatively affects our life. When we demonstrate positive expectancy, it will not only us but also others around us will benefit from our life. Consistently put positive expectancy into our minds and we can make a difference through our actions. Build positive relationships with family, friends and community in general. Remember that good relationships are built on respect and trust.

When we have positive emotions we will be able to react with confidence and handle every roadblock or obstacle with the believe that we can solve them. Stop worrying and live our life with positive expectancy. Believe that we can make a difference in our life and in the life of others.
