The power of positive expectancy cannot be underestimated. This is because it can change your life if you have the right attitude.

When you practice a positive expectancy mindset, you believe that you can do anything. And this belief comes from practical know-how; knowing how comes from knowledge and experience; and experience involves engagement. So when you know from firsthand experience that you can do something, it gives you incomparable confidence.

This is in contrast to just learning how someone else did it. Because when you have positive expectancy, you don’t just rely on second-hand knowledge. You engage with life and build up your own experience. And this is what makes positive expectancy so powerful.
