What you Expect to Happen Does

Motivational Power Quote

What you Expect to Happen Does

“When you expect things to

happen – strangely enough –

they do happen.”

J. P. Morgan an American entrepreneur

As I see it. . . . . . . .


What you expect to happen does.
Our self expectation programs our mind.
What we except to happen becomes programmed into our thinking and becomes part of our dominate thoughts.
As we continue to think about what could happen; we find that thought becomes a reality in our mind and happens.
The more we think about what could happen; that thought becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and does happen.
If the expectation is negative, think about solutions.

When the expectation is positive keep the thoughts in your mind until the expectation comes to fulfillment.

What you expect to happen does.

Our Past Does Not Equal the Future

Motivational Power Quote

Our Past Does Not Equal the Future

“Life is a series of collisions with the future;

it is not a sum of what we have been

but what we yearn to be.”

Jose Ortega Y Gassett, philosopher

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Our past does not equal the future
Our past has gotten us to where we are today. We are living the life that we have created for ourselves as a result of our thinking and previous actions. We can’t relive our past it’s in the history book of our life. Our past only becomes an indicator of the future if we continue to do the same things that we’re currently doing.
If we want to change our future we have to change our thinking and our actions. Create a positive can do attitude in your thinking. Think in terms of what’s possible. A success future comes through the actions that we take today as they will determine our future and who we become.
Find your purpose and take massive action to achieve the future you want.


The actions you take today will create your future and your actions are your choice.
