Turn expectations into Invitations

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today let go of expectations. Expectations lock you into a finite vision of someone or something. Expectations reflect needs. What you are really saying is "I need you to be this or do this for my comfort level." or "I need this situation to turn out this way so that I can feel better, safer or happier."


Expectations represent fears: "If this doesn't work out the way I want it to I am afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Expectations are demands. Expectations close the mind to any other possibilities. Expectations close our hearts out of fear. Expectations cause stress and disharmony within and without.

Turn expectations into invitations. Invite yourself to consider all possibilities, all solutions. Invite someone to participate in a win win solution. Invite others to brainstorm with you. Invite the Divine into the solution.
An invitation is a request, an offering of connection, an extension of openness, a belief in hope and faith for a positive outcome. Invitations signal you are open to receive. Invitations keep our mind and our heart open in love.
So today invite love in, invite all possibilities in, invite the greater good for all concerned in. Then be patient and wait for the Divine to RSVP.

Affirm:
Today I make requests and extend invitations for positive outcomes.

Have an inviting Friday!
