POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS AND
INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS
John G. Connor, M.Ac., L.Ac.
Feb. 2003
The following positive affirmations and inspirational thoughts are taken from various sources. Barbara and I hope you find them a source of strength and solace in your everyday life. We are always on the lookout for new positive affirmations and inspirational thoughts and welcome any which you would like to share with us and our patients.
Until one is committed there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
The way you are feeling attracts similar feelings and events in your life. Happy attracts happy, so to speak.
Allow the universe to deliver. Keep your focus off the conditions. Don’t take score too soon. Trust that the seeds you planted are growing. Turn it on all day long! Make a habit “buzz” for no other reason than to keep your frequencies up – and your valve open. When your vibration is high, you have more synchronicity in your life and you continually attract more of what you want.
Say to yourself:
“I am the happiest I have ever been doing the work I love. I am using my talents to serve humanity.”
“Something wonderful is happening to me today – I can feel it!”
“Thank you, God, for the abundant gifts you provide for me every day.”
“Good things happen to me every day.”
“I love what I do. I love and am loved.”
“I have radiant, endless, vibrant energy in every cell of my being.”
The greatest freedom is freedom from worry.
There are very few things in the mind that eat up as much energy as worry. It is one of the most difficult things not to worry about anything. Worry is experienced when things go wrong, and in relation to past happenings it is idle merely to wish that they might have been otherwise. The frozen past is what it is, and no amount of worrying is going to make it other than what is has been. Nonetheless, the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangles with it, and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires. Thus worry continues to grow into the mental life of a person until the ego-mind is burdened by the past.
Worry is also experience in relation to the future, when this future is expected to be disagreeable in some way. In this case worry seeks to justify itself as a necessary part of the attempt to prepare for coping with the anticipated situations. But things can never be helped merely by worrying. Besides, many of the things that are anticipated never happen; or if they do occur, they turn out to be much more acceptable than they were expected to be. Worry is the product of feverish imagination working under the stimulus of desires. It is the living through of sufferings that are mostly of one’s own creation. Worry has never done anyone any good; and it is very much worse than mere dissipation of energy, for it substantially curtails the joy and fullness of life.
When the mind is gloomy, depressed, or disturbed, its actions are chaotic and binding. Hence arises the supreme need to maintain cheerfulness, enthusiasm, and equipoise under all circumstances. All these are rendered impossible unless one succeeds in eliminating worry from his life. Worry is a necessary result of attachment to the past or to the anticipated future, and it always persists in some form or other until the mind is completely detached from everything.
Say to yourself:
“There is a plan of goodness for my life.”
“There is a Power within me which can heal anything, anytime, anyplace.”
“I am loving and kind in all my thoughts, words and actions. Every moment of my life is beautiful and harmonious.”
