Expectation derives the same self-fulfilling prophecy as that of habit. For one’s construction of true expectation is found from their investment in habit. Expectation can be found as the average sentiment of our thoughts. So to extend our actions and intentions with expectation, we must hold a majority share of thoughts toward that outcome. Reminding ourselves that such outcome is possible by applying a simple framework likened to the saying, “par for the course”. Such as would follow in our execution of outcome, such as if one expects to be fit and strong. Then it would follow they train for it. These actions coupled with this will and knowledge that it is already done and you are merely doing the steps to such outcome, solves to bring one to a here where they are in that which they made.
