2 Powerful Words That Can Literally Change Your Life.

I want to share with you something that I have discovered recently. This is something that, when used correctly, can quite literally change your life. This is the formula to success, kept secret by all successful men and women known to man...

The secret lies within the two words: I am.

“I am are two of the most powerful words, for what you put after them shapes your reality.” - anonymous quote.”

As individuals, we are our own biggest critic - many of our beliefs have stemmed from the beliefs of others. Words hold an incredible amount of power and tend to linger in our minds for a long time. I'm sure many of you will be able to think of a time when you have thought yourself to be "too ugly", "too dumb" or "absolutely worthless". Thinking these negative thoughts about ourselves only reinforces it in our minds. Furthermore, these fears of being not good enough can hold us back in life, stopping us from taking great opportunities, causing us feel as if we are not deserving of good experiences.

In order to overcome this we must reprogram our thoughts and keep them positive in order to achieve success in our endeavours.

Stop saying I want and start saying I AM

In my post on “The Law of Attraction” I wrote about how positive thoughts will attract positive outcomes. The same rule applies when using the phrase “I am” - once you begin to fill your life with positive affirmation, you can train your subconscious into truly believing that you are able to do anything. By consciously utilizing the power of “I AM”, your life can transform. Think about who you are now and who you wish to be in the future. Want to be successful? Think of yourself as already being successful and the rest will follow naturally.

This isn’t something that you can do one time for guaranteed results. This is something that you need to implement in your everyday life until it becomes second nature, until you no longer think negatively about yourself.

As someone who has previously fallen down a dark path, I know what it is like to not have a single kind thing to say about yourself. I used to find the idea of using positive affirmations very unappealing - why would I want to tell myself I am beautiful when I don’t even believe it to be true? Truth be told, it does take a lot of getting used to. It requires dedication and patience but you are guaranteed to reap the benefits of this practice. Be prepared to be amazed at what you can achieve if you simply believe in yourself.

In the past few months of positively affirming myself, I have achieved way more than I would ever have achieved if I had stayed in the same self-degrading mindset.

Remember that you have the freedom and the power to decide exactly who you’d like to become.

Here are a list of positive I am phrases. Choose the ones you aspire to be and repeat them daily.
