Here's a strange thing, well I think it is, my wife is always finding money. Mostly in the street and she's now got over 160 coins in her 'lucky pot' to prove it.This amazes me as I'm usually with her when she finds the money, but I never see it. We walk for about three miles every day to keep fit and it's proving profitable!
This week she started finding paper money. A £20 banknote (bill) floated down to her feet. Note not my feet! There was nobody else about, so goodness knows where it had come from.
What has this got to do with blogging?
I suppose it's a lesson in expectation. We get what we expect.
A couple of weeks ago my wife found a coin two days running so she immediately said that she would now find a third as 'things come in threes.' Sure enough the next day she found yet another coin. She expected to do so - and she did.
This sounds perhaps a little like New Age and away with the fairies stuff but, if you think about it, there is something in it.
If we expect nothing, we get nothing. If we don't expect lots of visitors and money making success with our blogs then we shouldn't be too disappointed when we are proved right.
It's odd but once we decide what it is that we actually expect then we can usually get it. It's therefore worth jotting down our expectations so that our minds can get to work.
This doesn't mean we can sit on our backsides and do nothing but, because we are expecting certain good things to happen, we tend to become enthused and motivated. We start looking for ways to achieve our expectations.
So expect the best and get it. Great expectations can bring great things.
Good luck,
Mike.
