"Now, I return to this young fellow. And the communication I have got to make is, that he has great expectations." - From 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens
If you want to achieve greatness in this life, you must first develop your own great expectations.
Go to through life hoping for money, health, happiness but expecting none of it is totally self-defeating. Let me restate that. To hope for one thing, but expecting another is totally defeating ones own self. You are causing your own defeat before you even begin.
"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, It can achieve." - Napoleon Hill

By Preston Squire
To Be(lieve) or Not To Be(lieve); That is The Question
You don't need to believe in God, the Law of Attraction or any other such thing to accept one simple fact.
If you hope to achieve anything in life, you had better first believe you can.

4 Ways to Create Burning Desire
by Preston Squire
Consider the story of the disciple who went to his guru one day and asked, “Master, how do I achieve enlightenment?” The wise old guru directed the disciple to the bank of the Ganges River and had him kneel with his head over the water. Then the guru put his hand on the young man’s neck and pushed his head below the surface of the water. After a minute and a half the young disciple was frantic. He pulled and heaved and flailed his arms, but the grip was like iron. He could not get his head back out of the water. After two minutes, when it seemed as though his lungs would burst, the grip was released.
The young man’s head jerked out of the water and he took great gulps of air into his tortured lungs.
The guru smiled. “Tell me,” he gently asked, “ what was your greatest desire just then?”
“To breathe,” the young disciple stated emphatically.
“Ah,” the guru said. “When you desire enlightenment to that degree, it shall be yours.”
To be able to persevere and succeed, despite whatever obstacles life puts in your way, requires burning desire.
This is most everyone falls short. While we all have desires, few us of ever cultivate a desire so strong that we will stop at nothing to achieve it.
