Believing In Your Affirmations

From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward: Proverbs 12:14 NIV

Five years ago, did I ever think that I would be employed as an editor? No. Did I ever think that I would be comfortable enough to upload my writing work online? No. Did I know that I would have a successful website? No.

I didn’t know the specifics of my life and where I would be but I did know one thing. I knew that I would be, not just good, but exceptional in whatever it was I chose to do with my life. I’d often look at my surroundings growing up and know that there was more in life for me. I believed that. As a child, you always look forward to growing up and making decisions that will make your life. “I want to be this or I want to do that.” Whether we’re aware of it or not, we actually start to make affirmations in our lives as children.

We hear the word manifestation and think that’s where we start to get to success. I believe that to successfully manifest in your life, you must first believe in your affirmations. Don’t just say them. Believe in them. Believe that you will be successful. Believe that you have control of your actions. Believe that you deserve everything you want for your life. Affirmations are positive declarations that you speak into your life. Speaking positivity into it will bring you just that.

I want to end on a very important note. I’ve said that it is important to say and believe in your affirmations but it is also very important to partner that with action. You can’t say “I will be successful in life” and not wake up with a plan on how you will get there. You have to work for what you want. If you say “Today will be a productive day” you have put in the work to make it productive. You have the ability to direct how you want your life to go. Believe in who you are. Believe in what you do. Believe in the affirmations you speak into your life.
