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."
