Affirmations

What are affirmations and why do they work? Think about your thoughts and the words you speak for a minute. What are they? Your thoughts and words are a stream of affirmations and beliefs. Every thought you think and every word you speak, you’re affirming what you know about the subject, and how you feel about the subject.

When you’re feeling depressed, you’re affirming you’re depressed for a variety of reasons which are all affirmations. When you’re feeling fear, you’re affirming the very reasons that make you fearful.

If you never work at changing your thoughts or words they will remain or become your beliefs and expectations, which will become your reality in time. You must make an effort at changing your thoughts and words, or it’s the experiences and circumstances in your life that will decide for you. For without a change in thoughts, life remains.

How can your life change if you don’t change your thoughts, and your affirmations? If your life would change regardless of your persistent fear and depression, that would mean thoughts and words have no power, which defies logic and law.

What happens when you speak a positive affirmation is that you interrupt the negative thought and you focus on a new thought of what you want to experience rather than the opposite of what you want. What God has given us is a tool to take charge of a situation and our lives. The tool makes sense because if we continue to dwell only on thoughts of fear or depression, we will remain in this state and we will eventually attract what we fear and what we’re depressed about.

Even if you have that thing you want, would you be happy to have it if you were dwelling only on thoughts of fear or depression? Essentially, you have two options, allow the adversity to speak for itself and take you wherever it leads, or you can speak to the adversity and to yourself, which inevitably changes your reality.

In order to change a thought you must introduce a new thought. When you introduce a new thought, you may not believe it yet, but what happens is when you keep on repeating it you’re not thinking so much of the old thought and you’re focusing on a new train of thought.

We can not have a life without thought, nor can there be a universe without thought, since this would defy all logic and the laws of the universe. How can we create without thought? Isn’t every idea from thought? Doesn’t all action and words stem from thoughts?

Now ask yourself this, how much impact do my thoughts have over my life? If you say my thoughts have no power over the unfolding of my life, then you’re saying your life is predetermined, and that you have no control. What control do you have other than your thoughts? What moves you to action other than your thoughts? If you say your thoughts have partial control over the unfolding of your life, then you’re saying your life is partially under your control. If you say your thoughts have complete control over the unfolding of your life, then you can say I am in control.

As we speak affirmations, we move towards the new thought because we speak about it and act on it. As before you were thinking, speaking and acting on your old beliefs but now you’re thinking, speaking and acting on a new belief.

So next time you face a dilemma or you feel inadequate, change your affirmations and know that the very things you’re affirming will inevitably become your reality, and know that the process will unfold just as you spoke it into being.

Create Your Own Prognosis

Why should you give a poor prognosis all your focus and attention when so many people have surpassed the expectation? You’re basing your life on an educated guess, when you should be focused on succeeding, not failing. We’re all made from the same source, and you can call this source God, or energy or a soul, but the fact that you come from this infinite energy should be your true indicator of success. Whether it’s only a minority who heals, or the majority who heals, if one person did it, then all can do it.

How many people beat the odds, but we still doubt, as if they have something we don’t. Every religion and every master will tell you we all come from the same source and we’re all made from the same energy that created the universe. You can call this source Holy Spirit or the great I AM but the point of the matter is we are all divinely created and we keep on creating ourselves anew through God.

We can say every person on the planet is an extension of the universal spirit that created it all. Sometimes only a minority heals from a deadly disease or accomplishes a childhood dream, however saying it’s unattainable is declaring these people have something we don’t. It’s basically saying these people deserve well-being or prosperity more than us.

We’re all made up of flesh and bone, but the only difference is in our thinking, and perception changes everything. We think we’re inferior to everyone who ever accomplished anything great, whether it’s healing from a disease or embarking on new territory.

When we say I can’t do it, it is inferiority, because in almost every challenge in life, someone has surprised us and achieved the impossible. Whatever we didn’t accomplish yet, it’s just a matter of time before humanity perseveres and discovers yet another breakthrough.

Have you ever heard of someone who accomplished a great task saying I didn’t think I could do it, or it’s never going to happen? Isn’t everything an idea first? We don’t move towards anything that isn’t a thought first. Isn’t every idea a launching pad for another?

Doesn’t everything in life have a sequence and season? Is everything random and is life just about evolution? Or is there a definite plan and purpose we assign for ourselves in our physical experience? Isn’t there a plan and purpose that the universe desires for all?

This grand awareness that we call God created everything including every particle in this universe, so there should be no doubt as to his power in your life, and in the universe. Can there ever be an answer that remains hidden from this infinite intelligence?

Would God the great I AM who created the universe out of utter perfection not have good intentions for humanity? Would God the great I AM say there’s nothing we can do about the calamity and world peace and the so called diseases of this planet? Would a God who said I can do all things, be limitless to anything you desire?

God is waiting for you to decide and he’s saying you can do it, and you say I can’t. So next time you face an obstacle or crisis, the starting point should be, I CAN!
