What'd You Expect?

I just listened to a great Eric Thomas video this morning on the importance of EXPECTATIONS.  (Video shown below)

He said that if we want to be ‘great,’ we have to plan for it and work for it.  He then said that most importantly, we have to EXPECT success.  We have to EXPECT that the work that we are putting in will lead to success.  We can’t just put the work in and hope for the best; we have to know that the preparation is enough and have the mind frame that success and greatness will come.

When you guys are working on your game, studying for the test, or preparing to get a job, put the work in first and prepare yourself, but do so with the EXPECTATION that the preparation will lead to success; success is not an option for you if you put in the work – it is non-negotiable.  You will be successful if you put in the work.  If you prepare yourself, you will see progress.  There will be setbacks.  There will be people who tell you that you’re too slow, you’re too short, you’re not good enough, or your dreams are too big.   But, if you keep pushing, you keep working, you keep putting time in, YOU WILL see success.  Don’t quit.  Don’t get discouraged.  Don’t get down.  Have a vision of where you want to go, create a plan on how to get their, execute your plan, and SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW.

Matthew 17:20

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
