I Am

Revisited

There was a boxer who became world famous by being the greatest at what he did. His final record was 56 wins and 5 losses with 37 knockouts. He took on “all comers” and beat the best that the world had to offer at this time.

Those of us who remember Muhammad Ali, remember his almost mantra, “I am the greatest!” He believed it, he prepared for it, he studied it, and he was “The greatest.” “I Fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee.”

He wasn’t shy about telling anyone who would listen and even those who tried not to listen that he was the greatest. And then, he went on to show this to be true by being the best at his trade.

The most powerful portion of anyone’s being is the mind. We have discussed recently CBA. What you can Conceive you allow yourself to Believe. Once you can believe you will Achieve.

This article is about I AM. When you were younger and in school and did poorly on a test or exam, you thought I AM NOT SMART.

This then became I AM DUMB. And this may have carried on with you for years in which you believed that you were not smart. All because of a bad grade long ago.

Also, if you had problems talking and interacting with people of the opposite sex you thought I AM NOT GOOD LOOKING which advanced to I AM UGLY.

And then, you may have noticed how the really good athletes got a lot of attention and you wanted in on this action. So, you tried out for the baseball or softball team and dropped every ball hit toward you and struck out every time you came up to bat.

Thus, you began to believe and think I AM NOT GOOD WITH ANYTHING THAT CALLS FOR COORDINATION and this advanced to I AM CLUMSY AND UNCOORDINATED.

You must pay attention to what you are thinking because, in these cases and more, you are being led by your thinking. The Universe pays attention to your thoughts. And, The Universe has no sense of humor.

So, if you say I AM NOT… the Universe conspires to make sure that you can not because it is paying attention to what you are saying you are by the words following I AM.

This shows the power of your thoughts. Are you an I AM person or are you an I AM NOT person? Which would you rather be? You CAN choose, you know!

Change your thinking, change your life. You can become anything you wish simply by BELIEVING and PRONOUNCING that you already are, whether you are or are not YET! This is Affirmative Prayer. “Pray ‘As if.’”

What words do you follow I AM with? If the words are positive, the results will be positive. If the words are negative, the results will be negative, too.

Thank you, God!
