Today is January 5, 2017! I have no news years resolutions, No “New Year New Me”. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I resolve to become a better version of myself . Not because it is the beginning of a new year but because life is a gift that we all take for granted.

How many times has something bad happened in your life and your initial reaction was “I knew it” ? Ok, so how many times has something good happened to you and you had the same response? Most people can agree that we do not have that same response as often when good things happen. We have been conditioned to expect the worst. But what really happens is, we give so much thought to the things we don’t want in our life that we actually make room for undesirable situations to manifest by constantly focusing on them.

The mind is powerful  and  there is power in your words. Take that same energy and focus on something positive, something great, something amazing! The results are unbounded! If you pray for something to happen in your life but still doubt that it can happen, what message are you sending to the creator of the universe?  What message are you sending to yourself? You say that your life is destined for disappointment and despair and you either don’t believe that you deserve better or you don’t believe in the power of the Almighty.

I challenge you to focus on something that would bring you joy unspeakable. Focus on something that you have always wanted, something you need or someplace you have always wanted to travel. Write it down on a note card and carry it with you. This is called an affirmation. Read this affirmation aloud and often throughout the day. There is power in your words. Give your affirmation power. Leave the doubt out of the equation. Don’t concern yourself with how it will happen, simply believe that it will happen. Give thanks before you receive it and watch how the Universe will reward you. God lives in you and you have the power to manifest all of your desires.

The Law of Attraction is real! Faith is real! If you give your focus to undesirable situations you allow them to manifest in your life. Now let us shift out thinking in a positive direction. Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, you have not because you ask not…Stand in the receptive mode and live in a constant state of positive expectation. Give thanks while in the receiving mode.

LIVE LIFE ABUNDANTLY!

If you accept this challenge let me know. I would love to hear about your good fortune.

Namaste~
