Get What You Want In Life By Raising Your Expectations

By Karl Rogan

Have you ever considered how your personal expectations influence what you accomplish? By simply raising your expectations you can accomplish much more. The trick is to know how to push yourself further without going over the edge.

Why should you improve your expectations?

Depending on your current situation in life, you might be wondering why you'd want to increase your expectations. If you expect more then you'll also push yourself to achieve more.

Consider a time when you expected very little out of a situation. You probably weren't unhappy with the result because you weren't bothered, but I bet you weren't really fulfilled either.

Having greater expectations will certainly give you a greater chance of achieving bigger things but it also makes you more vulnerable to making mistakes. Don't let these hiccups get you down, learn from them and use the experience to change your approach.

Here are some proven methods to help raise your expectations:

1. Do difficult things. Pushing your limits can only be achieved by doing difficult things. You might not find success right away, but when you do, it can be the starting place for doing even bigger and better things in the future.

2. Increase your comfort zone. If you stick with comfort your are playing it safe. Learn to increase your comfort zone and you will open yourself up to new and exciting experiences. You'll soon come to expect more from yourself because your comfort zone is larger and you can take on more.

3. Challenge yourself. Set yourself up with a specific challenge and share this with someone else. If you've publicly declared to do something, you pretty much have to do it!

4. Take a survival course. Taking a survival course can show you how to get back to the basics. These courses are not just about basic survival, they can also teach you about yourself. You can learn more about your abilities and strengths, and then continue to challenge yourself in the future.

5. Continuous learning. Never stop working on yourself, make it a habit to improve yourself. When you do, you will find that new experiences and opportunities simply fall your way. The new knowledge and skills you continue to acquire will support you in your quest to raise your expectations and achieve more.

Higher expectations will also help raise your self-esteem. What you think you can achieve is very important because it decides what you will achieve. When you raise the bar, you enable yourself to do more and be more than before.

Remember that your thoughts are very powerful. When you make the effort to raise your expectations, you're also strengthening your self-worth and abilities. You'll see yourself in a positive light and be better able to achieve your ultimate goals.

Try these strategies to help you get what you want by raising your expectations of yourself, and enjoy the pride and fulfilment that come with doing great things! - 31955
