The Ultimate Power for Producing the Outcomes You’re After: KNOWING…
I’ve often written and spoken about the power of our expectations, because I’ve understood this for a while now: Good or bad, we tend to gravitate toward the outcomes we expect.
Rather than harness this quiet, amazing force to achieve what they want, I think most people tend to ignore its influence, and by default it works against them.
But even more powerful than expectation, is the phenomenon of knowing.
It holds infinite—and certain—abilities to manifest absolutely anything you want.
The catch? The slightest shred of doubt will nullify the power of your knowing—in the presence of doubt, knowing ceases to exist.
Because it’s so fragile, virtually none of us are able to fully tap into the force of knowing. For it to work, we must be absolutely devoid of any doubt. None. Zero. Not a trace. 100% faith. That’s knowing.
Expecting is one thing. Knowing that what we expect will appear is on an entirely different level.
A few years ago, one of our daughters (then seven) was spending the night on my parents’ ranch. It’s always been the weekend and summer retreat for the kids, complete with horses, cattle, two Jack Russell Terriers, catered meals from my Mother, and assorted wildlife that appears at will.
Or so it seemed.
When I arrived to pick Caroline up at the end of this stay, my Mother told me the story of what had happened the previous evening. They had just finished up dinner, and suddenly Caroline said, “Mimi, let’s go out in the yard and find a turtle.” - (Knowing)
Not wanting her granddaughter to be disappointed, my Mother instinctively advised, “Now, Caroline, you really can’t just go out and find a turtle.” – (Doubt)
Without a response, Caroline opened the door and headed out, her Grandmother following. “They just show up sometimes,” my Mother added.
Trailing behind, Mom rounded the front of the house to find Caroline standing at the edge of a landscaped area, looking down at… a turtle. “Look, there he is,” she said with a smile.
Caroline was pleased, but she showed no surprise.
And why would she? She’d known it would be there.
A few nights ago, Caroline and I were outside our house, and she asked me to go with her to “her tree”. So I did. As we walked under the tree (her favorite to climb), she said, “If you ever can’t find me, I’ll probably be up there.”
We stood there for a moment, then suddenly she pointed: “Look Dad, there’s a bird nest!” Then, looking through the branches, I noticed another one. Then I realized its owner was at home: The fat grey dove you see at the top, sitting on her eggs.
Now, Caroline didn’t say, “Dad, let’s go find a dove,” but I do believe she has a knack for finding the creatures that crawl, fly, and yes, even slither. After all, I would have never seen the dove on my own, because I wouldn’t have taken the time to just stand and look in a tree. Kids add speed to our lives, but they’re also pretty adept at slowing us down… at just the right times.
Another feature they have? A lack of doubt. Adults have learned that things don’t always work out. And the doubt that’s created in us actually stands in our way a lot of times. Okay, most all of the time.
Don’t rely on want.
Don’t count on hope.
Don’t even wish—expect.
And if you think you’ve really got what it takes, know that what you expect will manifest.
But if you try employing this Ultimate Power for Producing Outcomes, beware of what’s likely to creep in: If you have any doubt at all… well, you know what that means.

‘you can’t always get what you want…’ who did that one? why do get what we want sometimes, but not others? because we dont expect it, or believe it will happen? how do you get to the point of having no doubt?

hi, Kerry, the Stones were onto something, huh?
If you can’t eliminate doubt, respect it… my best advice.

Fabulous post, Jef!! Couldn’t have said it better myself!
I’m an instant fan.
hey, Jeannette, thanks much, glad you liked it!

go Caroline! I understand this perfectly and thanks for pointing out the lack of doubt. There is much to learn from children. How nice it is to be their student. How old is Caroline now?
hi, Jeannie, Caroline is 11 in late June, thanks for asking. The turtle thing has amazed me since I first heard it, couldn’t get over
it, really… crazy!
You’re right, some bit we can learn from kids, in fact the younger they are, the more in tune I think they are–haven’t been poluted yet by
information overload and all the rest, right?
Thanks much for your thoughts, Jeannie!
I’m sorry I have to another comment, can’t help it. I think we all have those turtle moments. And it is nice that you have this in your memory bank, because you will surely use it when you need it the most. I have my own turtle moment but mine’s a starfish and because of the turtle story it just reinforces my experience so really thank you very much Jef! Keep them coming.
A starfish, hmm… you make me curious Jeannie… you obviously notice the subtle stuff that happens, little connections,
seemingly meaningless events that most people would pass off… good for you.
So did Caroline explain what made her sure that there was going to be a turtle outside? age 7, probably not really? Must be her intuition or ‘psychic’ abilities.
Knowing and expecting, I can do easier if I had a basis for it. And if there are doubts that come in the way I can just argue, “why not?” with my doubts.
Caroline never explained, but I didn’t ask either. Psychic? I don’t know… Have you ever heard another person say something, and you were already thinking about that same subject? There are more channels of communication than just sight, sound, taste, smell, etc… occassionally we get glimpses, interference, bleedover, from them and information comes our way. Some notice it, most don’t. Kids are better at picking up on these other ‘frequencies’ of info… they have less to think about than adults, they still have a sense of wonder and openness, and they have less… DOUBT.
About having a basis… that’s doubt again. Our rational minds want explanations, but some things, some of the most powerful things, are so simple they really can’t be explained too deeply, ’cause they’re just not complicated. If you want proof that Knowing works, I bet you have some evidence in your personal experience… a time where you knew something was going to happen–good or bad–and it did? Maybe something small…
Thanks, Jeannie, appreciated!
