The magic of anticipation. This mere idea of this speaks to our spirit. Having something to which we can look forward is such a powerful motivator. It is why children (as well as parents) have such anticipation about the holiday season. It can also be why others negatively self talk themselves out of their good - Negative anticipation. One aspect of a more fulfilled life is to have goals, events and outcomes which drive us to anticipate their outcome. Start anticipating more good in your life (even when it doesn't look like this will happen) and you'll see that more good occurrences will start to happen.
