Listen to yourself

A simple premise is that God created us in His image.  He said it and I’m reminding you and me that it is true.  That means His characteristics are resident in us to some degree.  One of those characteristics is that when He spoke the energy was created and it happened; and when He speaks now it happens just like He speaks it.  Some call this phenomenon the Law of Attraction.   I call it a characteristic of God that we possess.  We create what we speak and get what we create.  Woops, dosen’t always seem to work does it?  Here is why:  Becaue God knows he’s God, he believes (knows) that what He speaks will happen, and it does.  We, on the other hand, mostly don’t believe we have this capability so we don’t  believe it will happen, and it doesn’t.  God tried to help us by instructing us to believe; and if we do that we can accomplish anything.  Here is an exercise for you to do for a week to begin to see how you can make this principle work for you:

Seemingly the Universe responds to what is said but “don’t” isn’t recognized as a valid word. Carry a small pad in your pocket and write down every time you say I don’t ….. as in “I don’t want you to run into the street.”  Then substitute a positive expression for the “don’t …..” negative expression, as in “I want you to be safely away from the speeding cars.” Do you see the difference? Do you feel the difference? This will allow you to focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want and what you believe will be more consistent in a positive direction.  Try this and let me know what happens.
