Here are some notes from the TED Talk: Why you don't get what you want; it's not what you expect by Jennice Vilhauer.
· Having an expectation differing from what you want is why you don’t chase your goals.
· Expectation + Action = Creation Of Life Experiences.
· When you don’t act on what you want, you take yourself out of the game.
·Part of why we fail is we use the past to predict the future. We don’t believe the future can be better than the past.
· When you expect a positive reward you feel positive feelings. When you don’t you feel rejection.
· When you are motivated by what you want . . . change is possible.
· Change your expectations to match up with what you want so you can make a plan of action.
· Our better future lies in thinking forward.
I know time is... well... a commodity for so many people... and we just don't have enough of it these days. However, you should take the time to watch this and to let it sink in. It's that good. Let me know what you think with a quick note or leave some thoughts in the comments below!
