We have heard a lot of teaching about the “Law of Attraction”, Positive Thinking, Affirmations and related topics in recent years. A lot of these teachings are good.
However, unfortunately there are also a lot of these teachings that have been either presented or interpreted as an almost “magical formula”.
All you have to go is affirm what you want, visualize it and it will drop down from the sky (or from heaven) is the idea that seems to be understood all too often. But this is NOT true.
Reality Check:
Life does not offer any real trustworthy magical formulas!
Your words are definitely VERY important.
Your life CAN be either blessed or cursed by YOUR words.
This is especially true of words that are repeatedly declared day after day.
We have all faced tigers and tigresses:
Words are even more powerful when they are repeated with the roar of emotion. This is why you can have so much trouble overcoming negative words spoken to you during childhood.
A huge percentage of those negative words you received were directed at you loaded with strong emotions.
The way out:
The way to climb out of the pit of negativity and walk the road towards real success in life does BEGIN with speaking positive words and affirmations. But ACTIONS need to follow.
The positive words including the daily affirmations that you declare will recondition your brain. Then your brain will be able to send positive signals and instructions to you each day.
Now you have another responsibility:
In order for the success cycle to be truly activated you need to OBEY those new instructions that your brain is sending you.
If you omit to obey the positive instructions your brain is sending you, you will end up in great confusion and frustration.
This would put you in danger of joining the forces of those who are saying: “I tried that and it did not work”. No, they did not REALLY try it. They were simply living in a fantasy land of easy success (the magical formula syndrome).
So what is the REAL key to a life of success?
- Speak positive words. Recondition and retrain your brain with strong positive words and avoid all negative words.
- Make a DAILY habit of declaring positive affirmations that are aimed at training your mind to believe that you CAN reach your goals and dreams in life. Success is your birthright!
- Take ACTION. Take the words you are affirming and use them to create a strategic plan of action that will lead you to the success you dream of enjoying. Then follow this plan taking at least one step EVERY DAY
Words plus action = success.
Success is your birthright because:
Walk in your success every day by your words and actions!
