As You Believe, So Shall It Be Done Unto You


Law of Expectations - Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Law Of Expectations

Law Of Expectations


Jesus created a world ruled by expectations. You don't get what you want. You get what you expect. It doesn't matter if your expectations are positive or negative, you will still get what you expect. Jesus said, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you. No matter how hard you work and how much you hope, it's what you expect that counts. The Law of Expectations will make or break your life. When I know your expectations, I can predict your future. That's why positive expectations are so important. They are a form of predestination.


Jesus came to planet earth to change our expectations about what is possible.

Until Jesus came, the blind, the poor, the prisoners, and the oppressed lived without hope. Low expectations and negative expectations controlled their lives. Blind beggars lived in the Land of No Hope.

When Jesus walked on the road to Jericho, a sightless beggar shouted out, “Jesus, have mercy on me,” but the crowd surrounding Jesus rebuked him and told him to be quiet. Everyone knew that blind beggars were beyond hope, everyone except Jesus and the blind beggar.

The crowd tried to extinguish the voice of hope, but the blind man would not be silent, and he cried out once again, “Have mercy on me.”

It wasn’t the blind man who was blind; it was the crowd that could not see and could not sense hope. They knew there was no hope, and they would silence anyone who disagreed. Extinguishing hope was their specialty.

Jesus had a sixth sense that the crowds didn’t have.

He could sense hope and positive expectations even in blind beggars.

The crowd could not shout Jesus down or keep him from his mission.

Jesus came to fan the flames of hope inside the human heart until it became a burning fire that could not be quenched.

Jesus stopped in his tracks and ordered that the blind man be brought before him.

A gasp went up from the crowd. What was Jesus doing? Didn’t he know that there wasn’t any hope?

Jesus probed the heart and mind of the blind beggar and discovered hope that no one else could see. He asked a simple question. “What do you want me to do for you?” What are your expectations? After all, it doesn’t matter what all these people think and expect. It’s your expectations that count.

The man said, “Lord, I want to see.”

Jesus said, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you,” and instantly the man received his sight.

Jesus didn’t say, “My faith has healed you.” He made it clear that it was the beggar’s faith, his positive expectations that made the miracle come to pass.

In the past two-thousand years some things remain unchanged.

The crowd still tries to shout us down and shut us up, telling us that there is no hope.

Jesus still asks the same question. “What do you want me to do for you? What are your expectations?”

Jesus answer is still the same. It’s your faith that will heal you. It all comes down to your expectations.

Faith still works miracles in your heart and mind. God makes miracles happen when positive expectations rule your heart and mind.

Jesus came to light the fire of hope in your heart. He came to fill your heart and mind with positive expectations.

When you get in agreement with God, positive things happen. Your old life passes away, and all things become new.

What do you want God to do for you? What are your expectations?

Positive Social Media

Social media has become unsocial. It has degenerated into a truth optional war zone in which people take sides. They draw lines in the sand, and if you are on the wrong side of their line, then a battle begins. 

Social media does not have to be that way. That's why Positive Social Media exists. It's a politics and hate-free zone. If you are tired of unsocial media, and if you want to have a positive social media experience, you are at the right place. A positive social media experience is just a click away.

Maximum Strength Positive Thinking - David J. Abbott M.D.

Although I can't control all the events of my life, I can control what I put into my mind. I have sufficient control over my mind to shape the otucome of my life in a way that reflects my goals and aspirations. I have an infinite number of future lives I can live. The way I run my mind determines which of them it will be. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

When you choose your thoughts, you choose your brain chemistry. When you change your thoughts, you change your brain chemistry. You are not the victim of your brain chemistry. You are its creator. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

I will live the rest of my life as if I am a great person. I will live as if my dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. I will act as if I cannot fail. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Limiting thoughts are a disguised form of negation. They are a way that I say no to life while pretending that life is saying no to me. Limitations are plausible self-deceptions. They are prefabricated excuses for every failure to be what I want to be and to do what I want to do. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

I can make a living or make a life. When I make a living, I focus on survival. When I make a life, I focus on my dreams. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Change first happens in my mind. Whatever I am or ever will be is first found in my mind. In order to have a new life, I need a new way of thinking. That is where everything starts. I can change who I am by changing what I put into my mind. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

If I am having trouble geting permission to do the things I want to do, I need to take a look in the mirror. The person in the mirror is the only one who can give me permission to go for my dreams. All other permission rituals are irrelevant. My life is mine alone, and that is sufficient authority to grant whatever permission is required. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

The way I use my mind defines what it means to be me. At the most basic level, I am what I think about all day long. My mind is the only part of me that can change or that would ever be worth changing. If I want to change who I am, I must change the collection of thoughts that defines what it means to be me. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

I will live the rest of my life as if I am a great person. I will practice being great each day of my life. I have only one life, and I may as well make it a great one. I have little to lose and much to gain by living as if I am great. I will live as if my dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

A positive mind is not an accident. It's the product of positive mental focus. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Real Power: Maxingout On God's Love

God is love and works by love. The power and presence of God in my life is love. Every time I see love, I see God's hand at work. Every time I feel love, I experience God's presence and power. When my mind is full of thoughts consistent with God's love, my thoughts are healthy, and my mind is exactly the way God means for it to be. When my heart is full of emotions consistent with God's love, my emotions are healthy, and they are exactly the way God means for them to be. There is no limit to how good my life can become when I open my heart and mind to the power of His love. God loves and accepts me the way I am, but He loves me to much to let me stay that way. He loves me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and it does not get any better than that. For the rest of my life I will max out on God's love. Real Power: Maxing Out on God's Love is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love - David J. Abbott M.D.

The most important fact in the universe is that God loves and accepts you the way you are, but He loves you too much to let you stay that way. He loves you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, and it does not get any better than that. Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

Real power happens when you max out on God's love. It transforms your rational mind and heals your damaged emotions. Nothing is more powerful than God's love. When all else fails, when the hand of flesh falls limp, God's love remains unfettered and unstoppable. When his love comes in the front door, misery, despair, and depression head for the emergency exit.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

God's love is real power. His love has enough power to heal your heart and transform your mind. Nothing can do what God's love can, and nothing can do it was well. The positive effects last for eternity. You have a new mind and healed emotions, and the cure lasts forever.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

You must jump into God's love and have a life transforming experience. When you do that, your life is never the same. You are born spiritually and you become a new poerson. Old things pass away, and all things become new. You look at the world with new eyes and listen with new ears. You think new thoughts, take new actions, and have a new life.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

God's love changes the way you think and feel. He gives you a clean mind and a pure heart. Your old way of thinking and feeling is gone. Your mistakes and failures are cast into his ocean of love. For the first time in your life, you dare to call God your Father and live as one of his children. God's love heals your damaged emotions and washes the toxic waste from your mind. Your negative feelings and guilt are washed away in a tidal wave of love.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

Your mind is the door thought which the power of God's love flows into your life. Your mind is where God's love is brought to bear on the problems of life. When you fill your mind with the power of God's love, miraculous things happen. But it was not the mind that made them take place. It was God's love that made the miracle come to pass.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

God's love is the definitive cure for damaged emotions. God is a specialist at renewing your emotional mind through the power of his love. He can heal your emotional wounds, remove your emotional scars, and wash away your guilt. Although his love will not change the bad things that happened to you in the past, it will erase their power. His love not only points you in the right direction, it also gives you the power to make the trip.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

Don't let anyone force you into their spiritual mold. You will not fit, and you will be miserable if you try to be like them and have a spiritual relationship that duplicates theirs. If God wanted all of us to be the same, He would have made us all the same. He did not do it, and you should not try to do it either.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

The best way to find out who you are and what you can do with your life is to listen to the voice of your Father. He will tell you everything you need to know. Just open your heart and let him teach you how to max out on his love.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

Your mental focus determines God's presence in your life. You must focus on God's love to see God at work in your world. The power and presence of God in your life is love, and when you focus on his love, you experience his presence and power.Real Power: Maxing Out On God's Love

Owner's Manual for Your Mind - David J. Abbott M.D.

There are no unchangeable or untouchable areas in your life. There are only areas in your mind where you accept the idea that change is impossible. It's possible to initiate positive change in any area. You do it my making small changes in the way that you think. New ways of thinking become new ways of living. Eventually the small changes accumulate into a mountain of change.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Each new beginning creates a new ending. When you make a small change, you move in a new direction, and the outcome of your life changes as well. You have an infinite number of lives that you can live. Nothing is unchangeable. Each time you make a new start, you make a new life with a new ending. Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Achievers are not more talented or brilliant than those who don't reach their dreams. However, they possess one critical quality that the rest of the world lacks. They are endlessly persistent in the pursuit of their dreams.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

The probability of making a positive change is inversely proportional to its size. Major changes are tough, and the probability of success in a single massive attempt is low. Small changes are always possible, and there is a high probability of success on the first attempt. Break large changes down into a series of smaller ones so the probabilities are in your favor.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

At the moment of change, there is a shift in your beliefs about who you are and what you can do with your life.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Change finally happens when you are ready to change. Change takes a long time because you take so much time getting ready. Although change occurs in an instant, getting ready for that instant make require years.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Positive thinking works because it's the natural software for your mind. God designed a positive software package that permits your mind to function at full capacity and maximum efficiency. He created your mind to work best with a positive operating system.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Positive change isn't a matter of the will. Rather, it's a matter of being willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. When you are willing to do whatever it takes, then change happens. When you are unwilling, no matter how much you say you want to change, it will not occur.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

You reprogram your mind thought by thought. Reprogramming requires a great deal of time and effort because you do it one thought at a time.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Life happens one thought at a time, either by default or by design. If it happens by default, then your life is a haphazard collection of random thoughts. It has no plan, purpose, or direction. If it happens by design, then you build your future with thoughts that you choose.Owner's Manual For Your Mind

Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Overcoming depression is hard, perhaps the hardest thing you will ever do. But if you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you. Your emotions are a reflection of your thoughts. When you change your thoughts, your emotions automatically follow. You don't have to battle the negative and twisted emotions echoing in your mind. Instead you need to learn how to change the way you think, and your emotions will naturally take care of themselves. The challenge you face in depression is to change the way you think. If you want to change the way you think and feel, you are going to have to change your inner dialogue. You are going to have to talk to your mind in a different manner. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. The battle for a positive mind is fought on the battlefield of focus. In order to break the back of depression, you will have to learn how to persistently and consistently control your mental focus. Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking - David J. Abbott M.D.

What you put into your mind affects the chemistry of your brain. When you put in positive things, you push the chemistry in a positive direction. When you put in negative things, you push it in a negative direction. Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Positive self-talk pushes the chemistry of your brain in a positive direction. When you use positive self-talk on a regular basis, you do more than create a positive mind, you actually create a positive brain.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

The type of thoughts that you think determine the chemical environment inside your brain. If you choose to think depressing thoughts, you create the chemistry of depression. If you choose to think anxious thoughts, you produce the chemistry of anxiety. If you choose to think angry thoughts, you produce the chemistry of anger.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

If you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Positive thinking will not make your life perfect. It will not make all your problems disappear or prevent serious illness and accidents. Nevertheless, positive thinking will make your life immeasurably better. No amount of positive thinking will take something bad and turn it into something good. However, positive thinking will turn it into something better. No matter how negative your life is, thinking positive makes it better.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

The opposite of positive thinking is not negative thinking. The opposite is doubt, uncertainty, ambivalence, and fear. The battle for a positive mind is even more challenging when doubt and fear assume control.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Positive thinking is the result of putting positive things into your mind. It's a sign that you have filled your mind with positive things. Trying to think positive thoughts without first putting positive things into your mind is a waste of time. It won't work and cannot work. It's impossible to get positive thoughts to come out of a negative mind. If there aren't any positive thoughts inside, then there is nothing positive that can come out.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Positive thinking is the summation of all the positive things that you have put into your mind. Negative thinking is the summation of all the toxic waste that you have allowed into your mind.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

There is a big difference between thinking positive and putting positive things into your mind. You can't think positive unless you already have positive things inside. Filling your mind with positive things must come first. That's why it is imperative that you control what gets inside.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Insight points your life in the right direction, but it does not give you the power to make the trip.Zero Tolerance To Negative Thinking

Whether you like it or not, you are engaged in mortal mental combat, and your mind is ground zero. If you let your culture, the media, the government, and politicians do the programming, you will be in real trouble. You will not be running your own mind. They will be running it. You will not be living your dreams. You will be living theirs.The Programmer's Manual for Your Mind is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book

Many people believe change is impossible. Most of the time they are confusing personality with personal behavior. The basic human personality is relatively constant over time, but human behavior can and does change. Personal change happens when people change the way they think. I have numerous patients formerly addicted to meth, cocaine, heroine, and alcohol, who escaped their addictions without ever going to rehab for treatment. They simply arrived at a point in their life where they no longer wanted to be prisoners of their addictions. They had experienced enough misery to last ten lifetimes, and they said no more. They changed their belief about who they are and what they can do with their life, and they became a different person who was chemical free. I am grateful to those patients, because they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that people in the worst circumstances can and do change. Because of them, I am committed to helping people change their lives one belief at a time using positve self-talk. Positive Self-Talk Yellow Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.


Positive Self-Talk Gold Book

Mark Twain wrote, “Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts or happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing though one’s head.” Mark Twain was right. Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind. The events of life can be trivial, tragic, and even monumental in nature, but the events themselves have little power. It’s the storm of thoughts about those events that controls our lives. Surviving the storm of thoughts is how we spend most of our time. No matter what we do, the storm still blows, and to a significant degree shapes our lives. Surviving the storm is something we do every day all day long. An entourage of thoughts accompanies each event in our lives. Those thoughts can be positive, negative, or most likely, something in between. Those thoughts are the battleground where we come to our agreement with life. Those thoughts define who we are and what we can do. You need to learn how to control the storm of thoughts blowing through your mind. Positive Self-Talk Gold Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.


Positive Self-Talk Silver Book

You can change who you are by changing what you say when you talk to your mind. Just be sure you are speaking a language your mind understands. Your brain speaks to you in its own language, and if you speak to it in the same way, it immediately responds in a powerful fashion. That’s why change proceeds most rapidly when you talk to yourself using the language of the mind. If you don’t speak the language of the mind, you may as well stop talking until you learn it. The three most powerful components of the language of the mind are images, sounds, and emotions. When my brain wants to get my attention, it does not send a text or an email. It blows me away with sights, sounds, and emotions. If you want to get your brain’s attention, you need to do the same thing. Send a message full of sights, sounds, and emotions. Start speaking the language that your mind understands. Positive Self-Talk Silver Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.


Positive Self-Talk Purple Book

Living small serves no great purpose. Living as if you are a great person is a powerful idea that changes lives, and those who take it seriously change their world. Living as if you are great means you live as if your dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. You act as if you cannot fail. In order to live as if you are great, you have to think the way great people think, talk the way great people talk, and act the way great people act. Great people think, talk, and act their dreams into existence. If you ever become great, it will be because you think great thoughts, repeat great self-talk, have great expectations, and act as if you cannot fail. Some people wrongly believe that change is impossible. Leopards don't change their spots, and zebra stripes are forever. But people are different. People change their stars. They change their stripes, and their spots disappear in an instant of time. That instant happens the moment they develop positive expectations and believe they have the power to change. Positive self-talk and positive expectations can take you anywhere you want to go. Positive Self-Talk Purple Book is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Positive Self-Talk Purple Book - David J. Abbott M.D.

Positive Self-Talk Red Book

A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. The same is true of your self-talk. It must be persistent, positive, and specific to have maximum impact. Lack of persistentce has laid more dreams to rest in the cemetery of failure than any other cause. There is zero chance that you will succeed on your first attempt. If your dreams are great, You will fail again and again on your way to the top. Before you can be great, you have to be good. Before you can be good, you have to be bad. Before you can be bad, you have to try. Millions of people stop at try. Thousands get stuck at bad. Hundreds quit at good. A few go all the way to great. If you don't have persistence, you willl never make the trip from try to bad to good to great. Positive Self-Talk Red Book helps you develop a persistently positive focus so that you can develop a consistently positive mind. More than one-hundred Power Graphics contain powerful thoughts that you need to have in your mind. Positive Self-Talk Red Book is now available at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
