Two simple words , I am. They are very powerful. Say them out loud. “I am.” Now, what do you follow this with? Next may be the most powerful choice you have ever made. Why, you may ask? Because they reveal what you see in your mirror of life. Also what follows because of The Law of Attraction.
One word that I use to follow “I am” is “blessed.” Blessings chase me around trying to get my attention. After “I am” I say “healthy and fit.” Illnesses and injuries are now part of my history. They are not my Now.
I am “creative.” Thus my mind is filled with great thoughts and ideas. They are about what I can and many times will do. Also what I am. Even if not quite at the same level of the iconic Irish poets, YET.
I am “too blessed to be stressed.” This is followed by I am friendly. I am loving people coming into my life. This is followed by warm feelings of satisfaction. Also, the desire to attain even more.
I am grateful. This is followed by my having much, much more of the good things of life. I never dreamed this possible before. Abundance comes to mind when I think of my gratitude. Abundance is not only monetary riches. This may happen, though. I fashion myself to have abundance. This comes from knowing that I am surrounded by loving, giving people. They are near me. The choice is theirs. They are not here because of fear or intimidation. Different from the time during my days in the madness.
These are some of my “I ams.” What are yours? Please do not even think of comparing your “I am” with anyone else’s. Yours are yours, period. If you are lacking, it is simple to remedy. Just say the shortened version of the 3rd Step. “God help me.” Then move on. By moving on, I mean that you work your program 24/7/365. Let’s simplify this even more. To work your program 24/7/365, you do not have to ponder how to be more spiritual. Actually, you were born a spiritual being. Hence, you will NEVER be any more spiritual than you are right now. No matter where you are at in your life.
To work your program 24/7/365 just say “God Help Me.” Then continue doing the next right thing TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. That’s all! Then, you will be working with your prayer and meditation. You WILL be doing God’s will. How will you know that you are doing God’s will? Because, if you’re working your program TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY, you will FEEL right. The same when something is wrong. You will be able to say you are doing well because you FEEL it. God communicates with us through our feelings. He communicates with us by using the vibrational forces of the Universe.
If it feels good, then it is God’s will. If you are even a little apprehensive, I would strongly suggest reconsidering. After reflection, if it still feels bad, disregard it. If it feels good, JUST DO IT. You will be amazed. Your “I am” continues to improve.
So, what do you really want? Try this to improve your “I am” and you will be truly Happy, Joyous, and Free. That is a promise!
