No Reason

Dear Friends,

When it comes to living life in the divine flow, the key I mention most often is maintaining a positive attitude, because a positive frame of mind helps you stay open and receptive to divine guidance.

One popular technique for staying positive is through the use of affirmations. In the area of prosperity, for instance, you might make an affirmative statement such as, “I am prosperous,” or “Prosperity is mine by divine right, and I claim my inheritance now!”

I often use affirmations to remind myself of basic truths that I have momentarily lost sight of. A couple of weeks ago, motivated by appearances to the contrary, I decided I needed to once again affirm my financial security. But this time, instead of a thought arising in my mind such as, “I am prosperous,” this statement occurred to me instead: “There is no reason why I can’t be wildly prosperous!”

I realize that since that statement contains the words “no” and “can’t,” it doesn’t appear to be very positive. Nevertheless, I have found it to be extremely reassuring. Every time I use that statement—for prosperity, or health, or whatever—I feel an immediate sense of relief, and I quickly regain a feeling of positive expectation.

Why? Mainly because that statement reminds me that “reasons” mean very little when it comes to living life in the divine flow. “Reasons” are limited and restrictive in their nature, and they are often based on information that is flawed and faulty, or incomplete at best. You will always find plenty of “reasons” why your heart’s desires cannot be fulfilled . . . including “reasons” like you are not worthy enough to have what you want, that you are not smart enough to do what you want, or that you are not talented enough to be what you want.

When you make the statement, “There is no reason why I can’t (fill in your desire here),” you are denying the power that “reasons” have over you, and you are, instead, affirming the real truth of the matter . . . the truth that the divine flow operates at a level beyond reasons, and beyond reason itself.

The divine flow operates in the realm of the miraculous, orchestrating things on your behalf in a way that is often beyond comprehension or prediction. And more importantly, the divine flow is completely unlimited in its nature, so anything and everything is possible.

Is there something that you want to experience in your life right now—something in particular that you want to have, do, or be? Then attune yourself to the divine flow and follow the divine directions that you receive! In spite of how things may look to you, Divine Mind sees no reason why you can't reach your destination with effortless ease . . . no reason whatsoever!
