Anticipation

Yesterday at the gathering of New Wine Community, someone mentioned that they anticipate negative things in their life. They said that negative things seem to happen so they’ve just started to look out for it.

My immediate response was, “Well that’s interesting…I anticipate great things happening to me!”

In my life, what I anticipate is what I tend to experience. Not all the time…but most of the time this is true. If I anticipate someone being disconnecting with me, that’s what I’ll experience. If I anticipate stress and anxiety in a situation, that’s what I’ll get.

Yet, if I anticipate greatness (positivity, peace, breakthroughs, financial success), it tends to come my way.

There’s nothing scientific about it. I can’t prove it. All I know is that I’m more interested in putting up my antennas and tuning them in to positivity.

This week, here’s what I’m anticipating…

• 8TRACKstudios – managing great marketing projects and landing at least one new client.
• 8TRACKdesign – working with our first interior design client in Los Angeles.
• Life Launch – writing at least two chapters of my next book.
• AWAKEN my life – mailing out sample copies of my recent book to a few contacts.
• Friendships – reconnecting with some old friends.
• Family – enjoying at least one great bike ride.
• Spirituality – meditating and reading the Scriptures.
• Moments – experiencing sacred moments that seem to come out of nowhere.
• Solutions – meeting challenges with creative solutions.
• Peace – celebrating and resting in “what is”…no matter what comes my way.

How about you? What are you anticipating?
