Positive expectancy begins with a sense of self-awareness that banishes confusion by defining the goals you want to achieve. Self-awareness gives you a track to run on. It makes you predictable and reliable. It allows you to use your talents and energies in the full expression of your potential.
Positive expectancy requires a no-limitations belief in yourself that comes from clear, calm and honest self-confidence. Belief in yourself rests on supreme confidence in both your present and future abilities. It demands that you be goal directed and progressively growing.
Positive expectancy is also developed through self-acceptance. Choosing to accept yourself as you really are — your strengths and your weaknesses, your assets and liabilities — is the most vital and important decision you will ever make. Self-acceptance frees you from guilt and discouragement and gives you the energy to grow and use more of your potential.
