3 Powerful Tools for Overcoming Expectations

by Rebecca L. Edwards

Releasing our expectations sets us free from the bondage of self-imposed limitations.

I have heard it said a million times, “Life is what you make of it.” Really? I have always found that statement to be so aggravating and down right condescending until, one day, I sat down and pondered what those words actually meant to me.

After several personal “moments” complete with tears, emotional outbursts and triumphant epiphanies, I came up with my own way of interpreting this saying—without judging myself after I decided to surrender to its lessons and step into the current of new understanding. Now, surrender didn’t mean I was going to give up and throw in the towel or to just accept my lot in life and become a statistic or a doormat for emotional vampires or habitual takers; matter of fact, it was just the opposite. I found a source of spiritual gold that became my never-ending treasure trove of internal happiness, steadfast clarity and unwavering strength to go after what I truly wanted from life.

My insights translated into 3 Powerful Tools that I now use every day to release all expectations and stay emotionally focused, spiritually centered and soulfully connected. I discovered there is only one rule that must be followed for the magic to happen: I must stay open-minded in the continual free-fall of unlimited potential.

Let Go and Be Flexible as to how you will achieve your desires. The process may be completely different from your original ideas or your predetermined expectations about how something would transpire.

Be Fully Present in the NOW so that you can take part in the unfolding of the miracle when it happens right before your eyes. Keep your mind wide open so that new opportunities can present themselves in a more serendipitous way.

Believe that the Universe is Orchestrating on Your Behalf so that it can meet your current needs, desires and goals with a force so powerful that it can alter your life in ways that your mind may not have been able to conceive on its own.

I have always believed that I am part of a whole, but chose to incarnate here on earth as an individual soul with a divine purpose. In order to succeed on my mission of self-discovery, I must do my part. I must show up every day ready to do the next right thing, which, in turn, allows me to calmly and intelligently seize all opportunities that arise from utilizing the 3 Powerful Tools, which have guided me in building the life of my dreams.
