How to set yourself up to really get what you want

Have you ever been working to accomplish something and thought to yourself…I am not going to jinx things by thinking they are going to work out.  You decide you are not going to get too attached to the idea that things are going to fall into place because if you assume the best, then they will possibly not work out.

I have even heard people go as far as saying that  “they are hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst”.

The logic behind this thinking is that we have to be realistic with our expectations and never too confident because that could throw everything off. The more you are able to restrain yourself from having too many positive thoughts about how things will work out, the actual better chance they have of being successful.  Many people will claim that overconfidence will actually work against you in the long run.

The alternaview:

The alternaview is that confidence doesn’t jinx things and make them less likely to occur…doubts do. When we really want to set things up to succeed, we actually need to be extremely confident that things will work out.  We need to believe in our ability to make things happen and that we are in a good position for things to go our way.  We need to genuinely believe we have done what we were supposed to and that we are deserving of things going our way.

Why?

Because this is a prerequisite when it comes to making things happen.  You need to reach that threshold number of positive thoughts required to bring things to fruition.  Now, obviously you will also need to devote the right amount of work and attention as well, but you are not likely to be successful unless you also surround your goals with confident thoughts that things will work out.

This is just the way the process works and if we want to put ourselves into a position where we are consistently accomplishing what we want, we will ensure we are having the right thoughts about what we are trying to do.

Our minds can be filled with all types of negative and hidden thoughts that can create doubts.  Consequently, we have to be vigilant about seeking out those limiting thoughts and chipping away at them piece by piece.  In many ways, it is like weeding a garden and once we remove them, we create the space for things to grow and unfold the way they we want them to.

So, if you are currently trying to accomplish something, take a look at the types of thoughts you are having.  Do you feel confident that you will be successful with what you are trying to do?  Are there any limiting thoughts that are creeping up from time to time that are hidden in the back of your mind?  Decide right now that you will successfully work and accomplish what you want. Work continually to eliminate any doubts.  There is no way that hoping for the best and expecting the best will jinx anything…that is the alternaview.

Do you agree with this alternaview?  Do you set yourself up to really get what you want?
