Release Others’ Expectations
If you focus on what others expect of you, you’ll continue to act on and attract more of what they desire for you. But when you can shift your inner thoughts to what you intend to create and attract into your life, you will no longer have to give mental energy to what others want for you.

Excellent sentiment. I am currently reading a great book on this subject. It is called The Astonishing Power of Emotions and it is all about The Law of Attraction. Good stuff. People have been writing material about this for a while, in particular creative visualizations by Shakti Gawain (sp?), but this recent stuff is much more in depth, and covers the emotional element much more. I have been working on this for years, and am just now getting to the core of it. Happy New Year!

Thanks for posting this, Starr! I just finished smudging my entire house with sage, clearing away any residual negativity from 2009, happy to start the New Year with such positivity!

It's amazing to me to think that we can attract what others' expect for us based on our desires to please others. As a huge people pleaser I have to admit that setting intentions is hard for me.

Benjamin, I just ordered this book. I am eager to read it.
