Choosing an Outcome

There is a far more effective method of determining a desired outcome than simply positive thinking. The problem with just 'thinking' positive is that the method is limited to finding positive facts or views of a particular circumstance. That can be limiting because it only involves orientation to the circumstance. There is a much more powerful method. Visualize, choose, expect and then proceed. Repeat until success.

Each event we experience has far more possible outcomes than our first expectation. Even when the outcome seems certain, that is only a more specific expectation. The outcome is rarely guaranteed because there are forces that are beyond our awareness. These forces are not necessarily mystical or spiritual although they can be. Some forces may be simply related simultaneous events that we are not aware of. There are also influences that we do not have direct control over but can activate to influence the outcome.

Our immune system is an example of an influence that we can activate. It is part of our personal involvement that needs to be considered. We must consider not only the impact of our direct response, but also the impact of our capabilities that we indirectly control. For example, when expecting a specific outcome of an illness, our mental and emotional response will influence our immune system.

The objective is to consider the widest possible range of outcomes when choosing a response to an event. In fact, the goal is to consider all possible outcomes even those that seem improbable or impossible. When all possibilities are included, seemingly impossible outcomes may look different in the context of all imagined outcomes.

The method is to visualize all possibilities, choose the outcome that we want and then proceed expecting that outcome. This is particularly important when the outcome we want is a minor probability because statistics do not control outcomes. The forces that come to bare determine outcomes. So, how can expecting an outcome cause forces to determine that outcome?

There is a natural organization that occurs in our mind when we expect an outcome. The first thing that happens is an emotional response. That will influence and be followed by a logical organization to prepare our body to respond. This is where the dynamics are not fully understood but are clearly measurable. Our emotions affect seemingly involuntary parts of our body like the immune system. Our entire body and all of its components start working together to produce the expected outcome.

We determine an outcome by proceeding based on the details of our expectation. There is an emotional, rational, physical and perhaps a spiritual organization that all interact to become a perfectly tuned organism to produce the expected outcome. The details and power that come together are beyond our comprehension. The body, mind and spirit are so intertwined that the connections are countless and the resultant force cannot be predicted.

There is a ripple effect that can multiply the forces that come to bare. As we work out the details of our expectation, that process can impact related circumstances and people around us. Impacted people may acquire our vision from observation and support or be active in working out a wider circle of circumstances which impact more related circumstances and people around them. In this way, the forces that come to bare on our desired outcome can grow exponentially.

People that are included can expand the range of possibilities, accelerate the ripple affect, validate our choices and help work out the details. Other people are powerful resources many reasons. For example, experience is the best ingredient for success so learning from other's experience is invaluable. Also, fine tuning or validating our vision will give confidence that is a powerful force in success.

The method is not complicated beyond the effort in considering all possibilities. After visualizing all possibilities, choose the desired outcome and then proceed without reservation to work out the details leading to and following that expectation. If circumstances change, then repeat the method.

Repeating the method is critical for success. This is because as time goes on, circumstances do change and that, in turn, changes the set of all possibilities. When circumstances change, is it important to reestablish a new range of all possibilities and then choose the most desired outcome from the new range. Thus, the method is repeated, as many times as necessary, moving ever closer to the most desired outcome.

Visualize, choose, expect and then proceed. Repeat until success.

Ultimately, repeat until the method becomes a life-style for success.
