A straightforward, positive mood can become the inspiration that prompts you to reflect today upon what you hope to achieve in the future. The fullness of the detail you use to visualize the realization of your short- and long-term goals can be highly encouraging and cause you to think of your expectations in the most positive of terms. You may feel upbeat as well as self-assured and ready to pursue the dreams you hold closest to your heart. You may discover that you can gradually recognize more and more opportunities previously hidden from your view as you nurture your growing optimism. Should you encounter setbacks or delays that interfere with your progress today, you will likely respond constructively and practically by addressing these roadblocks rather than indulging in worry.

When our expectations are uniformly positive, we are more apt to take advantage of opportunities that promise rich rewards yet fall outside the boundaries of our comfort zones. Positive expectations form the foundation of optimism, which helps us concentrate on the brighter side of the journey toward success. Our fears and worries have little impact on the life-altering decisions we make because our spirits are bolstered by thoughts of our strengths and skills. Doubt can find no foothold in our hearts and is easily conquered by our upbeat outlook on achievement. Through good times and bad, the affirmative outcomes we visualize help us stay on course and cope with adversity. The upbeat and self-assured mind-set you maintain today will help you hone in on life-enriching choices.
