ECSTATIC EXPECTATIONS

Navigating the Rollercoaster of Ecstatic Expectations: How to Stay Grounded and Manage Your Anticipation



I’ve come to the realization that life can be compared to a moving walkway that never stops. It's a journey that should not only be embraced but also enjoyed. You are the key player in how your travelator experience goes, and you have the power to make it worthwhile. 


At times, life can be tough, and it's easy to lose the passion and drive to dream big. However, no matter how hard life gets, it's important to remember that dreaming big is free, and it's something that no one can take away from you.


It's natural to feel apprehensive about dreaming again after experiencing disappointment. But, you shouldn't let past experiences of failure or disappointment stop you from dreaming big. If you don't think it, it won't come into your life. 


It's common to avoid taking risks because of the fear of failure. However, by doing so, you miss out on the opportunities that could lead you to success. Instead of focusing on the negatives, it's important to look at the possible outcomes and the potential for growth. 


When we focus on the positives, we can approach challenges with a more optimistic mindset. By doing this, we can learn from our mistakes and use them as stepping stones to reach our goals. It's important to remember that failure is not the end of the road, but just a part of the journey. 


PLAY; It is a powerful state of mind that can replenish your energy and ignite your imagination. When you allow yourself to play, you open up a vast realm of possibilities and ideas that would otherwise remain untapped. Leave no room for “Toxic energy dump” in your mind.


 

ABC of Ecstatic Expectation


  • A PHILOSOPHY, NOT A PROGRAM: A philosophy is a set of guiding principles that cannot be implemented like a program. It involves a deep exploration of your beliefs, a conscious choice to adopt a certain way of thinking, continuous practice, and unwavering commitment. Merely hoping or expecting positive outcomes is not enough. It takes a strong resolve to expect great things to happen for you, rather than relying on a superficial program or event that promises quick fixes. Expecting great things to happen for you isn’t just an event it is a philosophy you adopt every waking day. A positive mindset can transform your life and bring you immeasurable success.


  • BE PRESENT: The rush and pressure of life can often make us feel overwhelmed. We are caught up in a multitude of conflicting concerns and find ourselves surrendering to too many demands. We commit ourselves to too many projects and want to help everyone in everything. Comparing ourselves to others can also steal our joy in the present moment. It's important to sit and be a present participant on our own journey. Success can't catch us unawares. The present moment may bring a little tension or anxiety, but if we find ourselves worrying about the future, we should remember that we have no control over it and return to the now.


  • CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE: Your attitude can shape your experience. If you constantly seek out negativity, you'll find it no matter where you look. Have you noticed when you decide to purchase a specific car for example, you suddenly start seeing that car everywhere on the road? The cars were always present, but your mind became more attuned to them. If you choose to focus on the positive, you'll start to uncover opportunities that you may have never imagined before. So, the next time you encounter a situation, remember that your attitude can influence the outcome.


Living with full enthusiasm and sincerity is a decision that should be made without any delay. The longer we wait, the more we deprive ourselves of the joys of life. Living with half-heartedness can cause anxiety and stress, hindering the growth of our mind, body, and soul. 


Keep in mind that personal growth and development require us to take initiative and responsibility. We must choose to fix ourselves before we can expect anything to change around us. So, the next time you feel hesitant to start something new, remind yourself that the possibilities are endless and that every experience, whether positive or negative, can help you grow and improve.


Life is full of twists and turns, and it's up to you to make the most of it. Embrace the journey, enjoy the ride, and never stop dreaming big. Keep your hopes up and don't be afraid to dream big. Remember that every little step you take on your travelator journey will lead you closer to your dreams.
