Around my sophomore year in college, my friend and I decided to have a motto to get us through the Semester. (Check out her blog: underallthismelanin.weebly.com) Our motto for the school year was, “No weapons formed against me, shall prosper.” This is a very famous bible quote that was basically our mantra especially when the going gets tough and we needed some motivation to get us through whatever trial and tribulations that we were going through at that particular moment.
One thing that we also incorporated in our daily lives was Speaking things into Existence. What does that mean, you may ask? Well let me tell you. If you believe it in your heart, feel it in your soul and speak it with your tongue, it will happen as long as it’s meant for you. What I mean by this is if you wake up in the morning and you tell yourself that you are going to have a good day, no matter what trials and troubles you may face at that given time and place, you will have a great day. It’s basically like putting your trust and assurance that what’s meant for you will be for you, then by all means necessary it will be. It’s looking at life in a positive mindset, it’s claiming the success and blessings that are already supposed to come your way.
For example, before I entered my Fall semester of my senior year in college (which is currently, only one more week until its over), I decided to set some goals for myself this semester. I remember talking to my friend on the phone while I was on break from work about this specific topic. I told her, “I’m speaking into existence that this semester will open up many doors and opportunities for me.” Those were the words that I said to her. Now let me tell you all that transpired within this semester, I got inducted into the Omicron Delta Kappa Honor society, I became secretary of the Phi Alpha Honor Society, I have an amazing internship with an amazing supervisor, my grades are phenomenal (I am aiming for Dean’s List, as well as graduating with honors), I had this class that I was not doing so well in I had a C- in the class, we had a 15 page paper due for the class and I told myself that I will do well and I will pass this class and I will do well on this paper. Guess what I got on the paper, just take a wild guess….I got a 100!! The majority of things that happened to me this semester was because I spoke it into existence, there were goals that I wanted for myself and I didn’t stop until I achieved it because I knew that all this success was destined for me and I was claiming it!
People can say that it’s just a coincidence but I honestly feel like because of my mindset and speaking it into existence and saying my mantra during my times of difficulties really allowed for everything to transpire. When you doubt yourself and you don’t believe in yourself, are you really going to put in the same effort? If you believe it, you will achieve it which goes hand in hand with speaking things into existence.
Those tears that you are shedding, speak into an existence a healing heart and a happy soul. That car that you’ve been saving up for, speak it into existence , it may not be a brand new car but a used car works just the same. That class that you are failing, speak into existence a that you pass the class with a passing grade. Whatever you want in life, claim it and speak it into existence.
My question for you all my fellow bloggers and readers is what motivates you? What is your mantra that gets you through some difficult times, and what can you start speaking into existence in your life right now to start claiming your blessings and opportunities? I would love to know , so please comment and share your input.
