Facts / Strategy learnings:

even if you are abandoned, like Art was at the age of 9 and later, when his wife died due to cancer, there is always hope and faith
Art had to learn everything on his own as there was no guidance which strengthened his intuition
if you see challenges as a learning experience, you can conquer them and grow
epiphanies are the precursor to an expectation
an expectation without action is merely a thought
there is hardly nothing, that is not based on expectations as we are on autopilot mode nearly all the time
by becoming mindful to the positive expectations and learning to master and manage them, you can step out of the autopilot mode
you gain clarity and confidence which propels you to a better life
reflecting his life, he realized, we are given all the tools to survive and we are the master of our life as soon, as we become aware of the expectations, that drive us

Tips & Tricks / Secrets:

we look at our expectations either through the lens of fear, which stops us or faith, which propels us to move through it
his book ‘Expectation Therapy’ is a 3-step-behavioral formula to overcome tragedy and burden
The process is to become mindful for your core expectations, get clear on them and bring them into alignment
The 3-step formula of expectations is:
identify(start a conversation with your higher self), clarify (start mulling it over & over and then write them down and create a step-by-step plan to act on
use your Emotional Intelligence to answer these 3 most important questions, which leed to a deep dive into discovering yourself
Ask yourself: Who you are, what you want and what is important to you
to clear of your mind means to record or write down your epiphanies and if you decide to use them, act on them
we sabotage ourselves through neg. expectations and fear, reverse neg. expectations and always look at things with a positve expectation
return back to yourself, who you are, why you are here and what you´re meant to be and stop doing things that are not authentic to you
we are, what we believe, and we live to what we expect
be careful, what you tell your children as they are likely tol take it on

Takeaways:

your core expectations are the most important tool you have for personal growth and happiness
Depression, anxiety and PTSD come from neg. expectations
Favourate Quote: Dont´delay. Procastination is a way for us to be satisfied with second rate results. We can always tell ourselves, we could have done a better job, if only we had more time. If you´re good at rationalizing, you can keep yourself rather satisfied this way, but it´s a cheep happiness
take personal responsibility for yourself
the enemy is within us: We are self-sabotaging us with negative expectations and caged emotions
sometimes the greatest lesson comes from your biggest challenges
you´ll never have a failure if you learn from your life experiences
Go live Life, don´t let fear stop you and life will reward you
FLY-Freestyle-your-Life means: Step out of autopilot mode, become aware and mindful of your neg. expectations and reverse them. Healing comes from returning back to ourlseves, becoming authentic and skipping the rest
