What we say affirms what we will have in our lives.
Over and over, I have seen this seemingly idealistic concept work in my life. In the past when I spoke of what was wrong, what I didn’t want or like, what I was complaining about – I received more of it.
When this simple principle of caring about and giving attention to what we speak of became part of my conscious awareness, I was compelled to change my focus. Whatever we focus on grows and multiplies. Knowing this we become responsible for what we’re inviting into our lives. Our Higher Power is in control, and we have a part in what is happening. When my past complaining diminished, thanks to what I was learning in 12 Step programs, I also stopped getting sick all the time. My choice is to chalk this up to a better attitude and positive talk. I started looking for the best in people and worked on letting go of expectations. I affirmed what I wanted in my life, if it was God’s will, and thanked my Higher Power in advance for it. Then my life changed. People wanted to socialize with me, jobs started coming to me, people did nice things for me, financially there were no more worries – my life improved. Formal affirmations still work for me as does choosing how I speak in life. Focusing on the positive works well. For me it was an acquired ability. It’s one of the best things ever taught to me and one which has improved my life. I’m blessed to be able to pass it on.

Course In Miracles Lesson – My holy vision sees all things as pure.
Practice – Father,Your Mind created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it; Your love gave life to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive such dark and fearful images. A madman’s dream is hardly fit to be my choice instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation – all its purity, its joy, and its eternal, quiet home in You.
