The 2 Important Levels Affecting Your Success

If you have read Adam Khoo's Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny book, you would have already known that there are 2 important levels that will affect your level of success. Do you know what they are?
Here's the answer:
1. Level of expectations
2. Level of acceptance
Let me explain what each of the 2 levels mean. To put it simply, your level of expectation tells you what you expect from something (e.g. your salary, your house, the model of your personal car). And your level of acceptance simply tells us what you are willing to settle for.
Now, what is the difference between these 2 levels? How can they affect you? Read on...
Let's talk about a common topic of interest - your salary. For instance, your expected ideal monthly income is US$4,000. Alright. That's your level of expectation. And on the other hand, because you are easily contented with US$3,000, now that forms your level of acceptance - the amount of monthly salary that you are willing to settle for.
Which amount do you think you would set your goal on? If you said 'level of acceptance', you're dead right. Why? Because although you want to earn $4,000 per month, once your income hit your level of acceptance ($3,000), you'll start feeling comfortable and you'll most probably slack off. Obviously, people who follow this pattern would never achieve what they want.
To illustrate my point further, let's use another example - meeting deadlines. Were there times when you told yourself that you should just finish that project that is due in a month's time, in a week, but you never got it done? Most probably there were.
What happened is that because we know that the project is only due in a month's time, we usually find ourselves procrastinating and putting the project off until the final week. Isn't it true? Why did it happen?
The reason, I believe, is that most people's level of acceptance is lower than their level of expectations. And that is why they may have goals, but once they exceed their level of acceptance, it no longer becomes a must for them to work hard towards their goals.
But the moment their current situation falls below their level of acceptance, they enter the 'panic' mode and they would suddenly work harder and longer in hope to improve their current situation.
And what I've discovered is that when that happens to someone, they would start committing themselves and they would do whatever it takes for them to reach their level of acceptance.
Thinking along that line, isn't it the ideal situation if you were to have your level of acceptance being equal to your level of expectation? You bet!
Because when that happens, you would find yourself taking action to reach your goals and achieve success (level of expectation) whenever you get into the 'panic' mode, instead of just taking action to reach your level of acceptance. So how do we raise our level of acceptance?
