Affirming yourself is confidence, not arrogance.

How often do you kill the negative thoughts over yourself? How often do you switch those “I can’t do this” for “I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength”? Do you speak out the good thoughts over yourself? Too often others say, when you speak the good stuff that you’re doing, it’s arrogance. I challenge you my friend to get a clearer view of arrogance vs. affirmation.

Let’s go deeper. Arrogance is boasting on your own accomplishments. Affirmation is speaking out what God says you are. Here is an example: you start a business, you put in the hard work, you tell everyone it was all you, that nobody helped you, it was done by “me-self”. Now let’s try the affirmation. Thank, God, for giving you the strength to accomplish the task at hand, thank God for the connections He has brought for you to build this business in your desires, thank God for giving you the knowledge to do what you need for your business. Why? All because you are a child of the Most High! You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God Almighty! You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. Why? Because God gave everything that was most precious to Himself for you to live the empowered life you desire. How would your day change if you started off telling yourself that every morning?

Is it easy to change from boasting to affirming? NO! Wait…What? Seriously my friend it is a mind shift, that does take time, but it is all in your words. Instead of “I did_______”, how about trying “I am______, because of________”. Start today, right now even. Who are you? Why? What can you do? Who can you do it for? Take your time on this and grow in grace for yourself through this process!

Write and evaluate your thoughts...
