What Delays, Reduces, or Cancels
Expectation, overeagerness, impatience delays, reduces, or cancels the thing in progress.

Overeagerness, Impatience, Expectation, Excitement
Overeagerness, impatience, expectation, excitement are all movements of the lower vital part of our being, and can only spell trouble. Moving to the opposite in each case tends to attract positive conditions. From a deeper poise of consciousness that is more readily made possible.

Excitement, Overeagerness, Impatience to Communicate a Positive Development
-Until a positive development fully comes about, it is best not to discuss or too excited about it, otherwise it will get cancelled.

-Expectation and impatience delays a positive development, if not cancels it.

Expectation Delays
Expectation has the power to postpone or cancel the thing that is expected. Expectation is a form of mental desire that lacks the strength to accomplish by its own force. When the expectation disappears, an impediment is removed and often the object of expectation then arrives. (MSS)

Irrationality and Desire of Expectation
There is nothing irrational like expectation. Expectation is anything but rational as it is an insistent desire. (MSS)

On Expectation
Expectation is a negative symptom of a future possibility as it is based on past experiences-ours or others-without reality, responsibility or actual effort in a given situation.

Expectation is the process of creating what is not- because, expectation is the exercise of the mind that cannot understand the present to understand the future, as it understands all comparing with the past. Basically we start accomplishing something by expressing the outside first and create the inner accordingly-where as the reverse is true. As we rely on external, mostly it leads to failure, tragedy or frustration-where as every thing is given to us for joy. (MSS, paraphrased)

Expectation, Dissipation Cancels
About a month or so back, I was listening to a sports talk show as I was driving. One of the listeners called in and said that the local team should not concern itself with winning the division title, from which it could then move onto the championship, but should aim for the championship now. In my mind, the team was up and coming, but was still weak in several areas. When I heard the listener’s comment, I smiled and questioned his fair-weather outlook, considering the obvious limitations of the team. I saw that the squad was up and coming, but not ready to achieve such lofty goals.

Well as it turned out immediately thereafter, the team went into a free fall. Worse still, it didn't even make the playoffs; let alone a championship. In fact, it fell to near the bottom of its own division. One lesson here is that expectation delays or cancels. I.e. when an opportunity arises, and one expects things to happen, the prospect tends to dissipate or disappear. A related lesson is that when one is in a weak position and there is an upward movement, expecting too much will drop you right down to the bottom, like in a game of chutes and ladders.

You see this phenomenon all of the time in sports. E.g., a team goes wild expressing all their emotions after a victory. And then goes on a sustained losing streak. What has happened is that they have dissipated their energies. Instead of calmly holding onto what was gained so that the energy can build for further success, they squander it by releasing too much emotion. It is a negative response from life to an ego movement; to dissipation and waste. Not just athletes, but each and every one of us do the very same thing on all too many occasions, preventing sustained success in life.

Cancelling an Opportunity by Speaking It Out

Uttering a possibility cancels it.

Secrecy is an instrument of accomplishment.

Building on the first wish is a sure indication of its cancellation.

Vigorous imagination virtually cancels the work. (MSS)

Anticipating a Thing By Speaking It, Cancels It
Verbally expressing a wish for a positive outcome in a situation has the power to cancel any chance for its success. For example, some sportscasters have the tendency to anticipate a positive outcome to an unfolding of the play involving the home team. They make a statement to this effect at critical moments in the play, rather than holding their tongue. Invariably the outcome is always the opposite of their verbalization.

This is similar tendency of anticipating anything, such as anticipating a check in the mail, which has the effect of negating any possibility of its arrival. When one forgets it instead of anticipating the chance for its arrival is enhanced. This is of course tied into the falsehoods, and negative life responses (or at least non-positive life responses) that come as a result of desire.

Withhold Speaking of a Developing Possibility
To insure the outcome of something positive that is in the process of coming to being, withhold speaking of it until it is accomplished.

Expectation Postpones Results
Consciousness is power. The time taken for accomplishment depends on the strength of our aspiration and the intensity with which we apply it. Sometimes we confuse aspiration with wishful thinking. Wishful thinking is a dream of achieving something without the intense will to achieve it. It is passive and satisfied, a pleasant thought. Aspiration is active and intense, a determined will.

Aspiration is also confused with expectation. Both express a will for accomplishment, one strong and the other weak. When we aspire, we send forth energy to bring a result. When we expect, we wait for something to come. Aspiration is active. Expectation is passive. In aspiration, we feel we can determine the results by the intensity of our will. In expectation, we depend on others or circumstances to accomplish for us. The more intense our aspiration, the faster and greater the result that comes. Whereas expectation can have the opposite result. It has the power to postpone the result until we stop consciously looking for it to appear. (MSS)

The Limits of Expectation
Man hopes and expects, translates his expectation into reality. It most fails when it most promises, says the greatest poet. The Reality of the situation can be assessed by the Mind, not the nerves - the vital.

People who accomplish act from the Mind and not from their nerves or from the imagined reality of intense expectation. (MSS)

The Reversal of Premature Joy
A premature joy of a new accomplishment or fortune can evokes a hostile reaction that deprives one not only of what may have been coming, but of what one already had. (Paraphrase MSS)

Impatience or Restless Yearning Delays or Cancels
If you want something too much in an impatient or restless manner, it tends to delay the thing from coming; or even cancels it.

For example, you might notice that the more you want something to come in the mail (e.g. a check or an acceptance), the less likely it is to appear in the mail. The opposite is also true, if you forget about something important that is coming (e.g. in the mail), and focus on the tasks and work at hand, the item in the mail comes, (and often you are surprised when it does arrive because your mind is no longer focused on it!). There are endless examples of the phenomenon. Here's one:

A man very much wanted to get a prize. A selection committee unanimously chose to give him the prize he was seeking. He got excited about this turn of even. Suddenly the recommendation of the committee was ignored, and another man received the prize. The man forgot the prize and immersed himself in his work. One day he stayed awake well into the night attending to his work. A second man knocked at his door and announced that the prize had been now in fact given to the first man, and that he had come at that hour in his eagerness to convey the good news.

Here's another example of how giving up eagerness to gain something by taking care of what was essential, leads to success:

A man was watching his favorite sports teams on television. It was an important game for all the teams since they were close to winning their division championships. Obviously he wanted them to do well, though up to that moment that day they were doing only fair. At the same time he needed to take care of other things in his life, such as bathing, etc. As he continued to watch he noted that the his teams continued to go down hill. He remembered the idea of taking care of the essentials first, so he bathed and took care of other essentials. When he turned on the TV all of his teams had dramatically advanced their cause for the better.

Anticipation Delays
Restless or impatient anticipation delays that which you wish to occur. Release the anticipation and concern, and the thing will occur swiftly.

Patience and Silence in Difficult Situation
An individual who patiently and silently "waits" for news about a difficult situation to arrive is far more likely to receive positive news that the inpatient individual eager to find out the results. This is a known wisdom of the ages. If in addition one calls the Force into the situation, a positive outcome is all but guaranteed.

Impatience, Overeagerness, Expectation in Pride and Prejudice

-Collins in his proposal to Eliza (expectation)

-Eliza of Wickham’s arrival to party (overeager, expectant)

-Mrs. Bennet of results of ball, and many other occasions (impatient, overeager, expectant)

Untitled
A man who waits for love, may wait in anguish forever. And yet if he were to take care of the business that life presents him, life will seemingly reverse, and love will rush towards him. One day she will simply appear at his doorstep.

Overexcitement about a Possibility
Getting exciting about a thing before it has come to pass can cancel it quickly thereafter.

Overexcitement about a Victory
Overexcitement abut a victory will tend to attract failure soon thereafter. We see that in sports all of the time.

Impatience
Impatience is to react to circumstance with the vital demand in front rather than the calm and quietude behind.

Impatience Delays, Cancels Opportunity
Impatience delays, or even cancels an opportunity.

On Impatience
Impatience hurries because it can hardly wait.

Impatience emerges as reaction.

Impatience is the sensation of the moment viewing eternity.

Impatience is nervous energy in excess unorganised into mental values. (MSS)

Patience, Impatience and Life Response
-If you give to much attention to an illness it becomes worse. Likewise, if you are too attentive to something you want to come about (i.e. impatient), it causes it to move away from you. However, if you turn impatience into patience, stillness, and calm, positive things in that or other areas will begin to move towards you.

-When you act impatiently, negative things can occur during or at the end of that act. When you turn impatience into patience in that act, you see that at the end, you receive the best outcome; the one that was "meant to be."

Patience and Life Response
Patience makes life respond positively on the outside. Impatience retards response, even brings negative response.
