General Topic: Expectations
Hello World,
It's me again, Zakee, and I'd like to share some insight regarding the "expectations" we place on ourselves, either positive or negative.
I have come to realize over my time behind these prison walls, that whatever I expect with assurance will become my own self-fulfilling prophecy.
In other words, If I expect my prospects to be unclear, my future will be unclear. If I expect to be prosperous, I will achieve prosperity. As I observe the prisoners around me; this explains why the losers tend to remain losers and winners incline to go right on winning.
The men who succeed in prison are the ones who make a habit of producing their own positive expectations well in advance of the actual event. For instance, when I enroll in a new college course, I make it a habit of always expecting to do my very best to learn the curriculum, so I already have one of the primary methods of winning in my education process.
This attitude helps me to bring people and conditions that agrees with my dominative intellect. If I have direful, "Woe is me", thoughts, I will attract "woe is me" experiences. If my thoughts are discombobulated, I will attract confusion. So in prison, I must have appropriate thoughts to draw towards me the positive energy which I need to survive and thrive.
So dear reader, take it from me when I say that whatever you can do, or dream you can do, start it now. You see, daring and boldness has talent, strength and a little magical quality in it! :)
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to connect with me on my blog or write me directly at my mailing adress.
Until next time, walk in peace.
Kind regards,
Zakee

Greetings & Peace

I am going through a difficult time in my life. I recently started completely over with my son after getting out of an abusive relationship. And, surprisingly I am not depressed or not wanting to do anything to change. I identified with a lot of what you had to say. I find it hard sometimes to get what is in my head onto paper. But, after I read your letter, I felt like you took what was in my head and put it to paper.
I think it is a very important thing to always remain positive no matter what the situation. And to always reach out for help. Thankfully, when I am having a hard time, I know when to shut my mind off and just be. Sometimes getting lost in a book or laying down in the dark helps me find my inner peace. I am looking forward to reading more of your work. I am so thankful I read this post at the end of my workday. Looking forward to coming back to this website to read more stories. Have a great day and thank you for the great words of inspiration. God Bless.
