2. HOW DO I KNOW EXPECTATION
THERAPY CAN PROVIDE THIS?
Because I have lived it.

3. MY WORLD…
At 9 years old I was ripped at torn from everything
that was near and dear to me, baseball. Baseball is
where I found my identity. I was uprooted and
moved to a remote rural little town. No field, just a
tall mountain overlooking a run down, dilapidated
house.

4. MY WORLD…
Feeling lost and abandoned I would trek up that
mountain, struggling to make it to the top. I prayed
I would find a spot that would bring comfort and
solace to my life.
What would become of me?
What would be my life in the future?

5. ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP…
I began a conversation with God. What was to become of me? I heard a voice speak to me in a way I had
never experienced.
“You will be okay and if you remain faithful your greatness will come.”

6. ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP…
It was there in that time and place I came to the realization
that things had to change.
I needed to take control of my life and carve out my future.

7. THE PLAN…
After many years and many journeys up that
mountain, I formed a plan to escape that place. At
the age of 17 I made the decision to join the United
States Marines.

8. THE PLAN…
On July 21, 1965, I left that small little town and all
of its memories behind. I remember looking out the
back window and saying out loud “Goodbye Avoca,
I’ll never see you again.”
In retrospect I was turning off the switch on a
horrible past by speaking those words.

9. YOUN…
Life in the Marines brought me from being a boy to
a man rapidly. I found my way to Viet Nam and
uncertainty again in my life. I was prepared this
time.
What I wasn’t prepared for was meeting Youn.

10. YOUN…
After a short-range patrol one night we were headed
back to our compound through this village. As dawn
was breaking I came around the side of an
orphanage. Through a wired fence my eyes caught
the eyes of a young girl staring back at me. This
little girl needed me.

11. YOUN…
The Chaplin arranged for the orphans to come to
our compound for Thanksgiving dinner. The children
arrived and my little Youn found me immediately
and ran into my arms.
Youn changed my life forever.

12. IN AN INSTANT…
I learned a valuable life lesson that the world didn’t
revolve around Art Costello, there was so much
more.
Helping others brings massive internal rewards and
add purpose to our lives. It leaves us feeling fulfilled
with honor and purpose.

13. MOVING FORWARD…
Expectations are the seed from which we grow and develop. When we learn how to master our expectations
and view them as a learning tool, everything becomes manageable and clear.
This creates a pathway to transition our lives to fulfill our desires and needs.

14. NOT AS PLANNED…
In 2003, my wife of 33 years was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and after three years of a heroic battle she
passed away September 16, 2006.
Several weeks before she passed she said these words to me:
“You have been so good to me over the years, and I want you to know that. I want to release you from your
marriage vows so that you can find someone who needs and loves you as you have needed and loved me.”

15. A TREMENDOUS GIFT…
At the time I didn’t want to believe her. I put it aside. I now know what a tremendous gift she left me with and
I can’t imagine the strength of character it must have taken to say those words to someone you loved.
After three years of being alone and lonely, I got tired of living the life I was living. I got down on my knees,
just like that 9 year old boy, and looked to God and universe for the answer. Once again I was told to “be
faithful and greatness will come.”

16. EXCITING TIME…
I joined several dating sites. Late one evening I ran
across a picture of a lady. Her eyes caught me
much like Youn’s did.
We started corresponding and the rest is history. On
October 16, 2010 my prayers were answered and a
promise fulfilled.

17. EXPECTATION THERAPY…
We complicate life way too much. Life can be
simplified and lived that way.
If we identify what we need to change and we clarify
with certainty, and then we solidify it in our minds
and actions, it will manifest itself in our lives.

18. THE CONUNDRUM…
THE WHAT IFS OF LIFE
 What if I do something and I fail?
 What if someone doesn’t like it?
There are millions of excuses for not doing
something. There are also a million rewards for
those who choose to do something.

19. CLIENT OUTCOME…
ANNIE – 20 year old
She was in a very bad situation, pregnant and
single and trying to come to some resolution. The
father was abusive and wanted her to get an
abortion. Using the expectation therapy model I
coached her into coming to a plan that she could
live with and implement into her life.

20. CLIENT OUTCOME…
SANDY – 50+ years old
Well educated, great career, two children and a
husband. She married at a younge age. Over the
years her husband became very controlling. We
used the expectation therapy model. Once she was
clear and certain, she developed a plan to achieve
her goals.

21. EVERY DAY…
Everyday we are bombarded with negative
expectations. Some are blatant and some are very
subtle and difficult to identify or discern. Some may
say your expectations don’t matter.
Or don’t have expectations at all.

22. “Expectation is the root of all heartache.” – William Shakespeare
“Cut your expectations short lest you wallow in disappointments. But take time to differentiate between dreams and
expectations or drown in sorrowful displeasure.”
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” – Alexander Pope
“Love doesn’t hurt; expectations do.” – Pushkaraj Shirke

New York. I would probably be stuck in a nowhere job.

would not have been able to serve my country.

28. SO WHAT ABOUT YOU…
Think about where you are going to be six months from

have always done.

values.
