V812 Expectations

The video addresses expectations when running affirmation campaigns. The speaker discusses a common issue where individuals diligently perform affirmations but don't see immediate or desired results, leading to frustration and questioning the process.

The speaker emphasizes that meaningful change takes time, comparing it to earning a degree or becoming a Navy SEAL; it requires consistent effort and real-world experience. For those involved in fade forecasting, affirmation campaigns, or seeking assistance, understanding the time factor is crucial.

Having personally used affirmations for a long time due to the demands of his anchoring role, the speaker confirms that vocalizations do cause long-term impacts on one's quality of life. The effects aren't instantaneous and depend on the starting point. A common mistake is framing affirmations in the future tense ("someday I will be rich"), which perpetually keeps the desired outcome out of reach.

The speaker suggests mixing long-term desires with immediately attainable "telltales" to gauge progress and stay motivated. He affirms his belief in the effectiveness of affirmations, citing his personal experiences of achieving seemingly outrageous requests. However, he cautions that these desires can come with unforeseen negatives, advising to keep things simple.

For those convinced affirmations don't work, the speaker recommends a long break (perhaps a year) before trying again. He also acknowledges that some affirmations may not manifest, highlighting the influence of past beliefs, statements, and potential negative influences (curses or negative environments) that can hinder the process. Negative surroundings can negate positive affirmations.

The speaker shares his personal experience where it took three to four years for initial affirmations to manifest, but the timeframe shortened over time with continued practice. He explains the concept of inertia, comparing it to pushing a stalled car; initial effort is high, but momentum builds over time. Family, friends, environment and geographical location can impact how long it may take for affirmations to come into fruition. A consistent routine is important, but missing a day or two due to life's circumstances is acceptable.

The speaker concludes by stating that sincerity is the primary driver in manifestation and urges viewers to be patient, humble, and realistic in their expectations. He encourages affirmations in the present tense and to include affirmations that keep what you already like in your life. He emphasizes the importance of not sabotaging affirmations by having contradictory desires. Be careful what you wish for.
