A Surprisingly Powerful Affirmation

May 20, 2012

Dear Friends,

As I pointed out in last week’s message, you are—at the core of your being—a mother . . . someone who is divinely designed to bring something new and beautiful into this world through your innate creativity. To celebrate your “motherhood,” I offered you a Mother’s Day gift in the form of an Affirmation of Creativity. And like most affirmations, all the statements included in that affirmation were expressed in a very positive way, beginning with the declaration, “I am creative.” 

I bring this up, because a while back I decided that I needed an affirmation to help keep me in a positive state of mind regarding my financial abundance.  As I contemplated how to phrase my affirmation, I expected to begin it with a statement such as, “I am prosperous!” But surprisingly, that was not the thought that arose in my mind.  Instead, what occurred to me was this: “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 the blank),” 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, the Mind of The Divine sees no reason why you can’t reach your destination with effortless ease . . . no reason whatsoever!

A Mother's Day Gift

May 13, 2012

Dear Friends,

A few years ago, I wrote a special message for Mother’s Day, which I have been reprising every May since then. The point of this annual message is to remind you about the similarities between motherhood and manifesting. What similarities, exactly? 

Well, as I often mention in these messages, you are a divinely creative being. No matter how happy and fulfilled you are, you will always be conceiving of things you want to have, do, or be in life . . . just as a mother conceives her children.  Through your words and your actions you will constantly be giving birth to your ideas . . . just as a mother gives birth to her children.  And, by giving your ideas your time, attention, and love, you will continually be nurturing your creations—of helping them to grow into full expression . . . just as a mother nurtures her children as they mature.

In other words, whether you are male or female, whether you have brought a child into this world or not, in many respects you are—at the core of your being—a mother . . . someone who is divinely designed to bring something new and beautiful into this world.  And this year, I would like to celebrate your “motherhood” by offering you a Mother’s Day gift.  It’s an Affirmation of Creativity that “wrote itself through me” in 2002. 

I trust that you will find this set of affirmative statements to be helpful, especially if you are having trouble fully accepting the idea that you are—by your very nature—divinely creative.

An Affirmation of Creativity

I am creative.

I can be nothing else.

To create is my natural state.

It is who I am as a Child of God, The Great Creator.

And thus, creativity is my inheritance,

my birthright, and my inescapable nature.

Being creative is not something I do,

but something I allow.

My job is simply to be an open channel

for the Universal Mind of The Divine

to express itself.

I keep the channel open

by eliminating the false fears of ego

that block my connection to Divine inspiration.

All that is required of me is desire and faith.

I renew my faith with memories

of all the times the Creative Mind of God

has suddenly and surprisingly

spoken to me and through me.

And I recognize that the fears of my ego mind,

although seemingly ceaseless,

are totally unfounded.

I am creative.

I can be nothing else.

And I now go about the work

of gratefully fulfilling

my creative destiny.

Steven
