Creating New Expectations ∞Quan Yin
“It is I, Quan Yin.
If you are expecting a certain result, then you are likely to get that particular result. But if that is not the result that you want, then you find yourself in a bit of a quandary, because you find it quite easy and quite natural to have that expectation. And you find it quite challenging and quite unnatural to create a different expectation and a different outcome.
When you have a particular assumption about how something will go, you have based that assumption upon something. You don’t just pull these types of things out of thin air. So it serves you very well to look at where your current beliefs about a situation have come from. Take a look at the origins of your beliefs.
And recognize that no matter where they came from, you have the right and the ability to see those events, or opinions of others, as having absolutely nothing to do with your current moment and with who you are as a more evolved being. You will never be exactly the same as you were when you had those prior experiences, so you cannot base your expectations upon what happened to an earlier version of you. You are not that earlier version of you.
And if your beliefs are coming from another, if they have been implanted, then it is even easier for you to see that you are not that other person. So you do not need to create the same or a similar outcome. You get to live each moment as it is. You get to see it as brand new, and you get to be the brand new version of who you are, creating within it, and creating whatever outcome you prefer.
I am Quan Yin, and I hold you in my heart.”
