The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast

Balance is something I express consciously.

Everything in moderation is a common phrase we hear all the time. Moderation isn’t a word that elicits passion and wanting to change.  Moderation is a word that says you can’t have all you want so restrict yourself. What we seek in our lives is balance not restriction.  When the brain hears I can’t have this, a lustful thought overcomes us saying, “I should get as much as I can because I will not get another chance,” and thus we create an endless circle of addiction on that thing we wish to avoid.  We know we want to change, but we don’t even know what’s wrong, or how we can change.  Balance is the yin and yang of our lives.  Balance says let’s find the best position in each situation to do what is best for me.  When you consciously seek to find balance in each situation, you balance yourself and you balance those around you.  Calm attracts calm, frustrated attracts frustrated… Be different, be better, be balanced.

I will not fight against the obstacle; I will work with the obstacle.

We work against the universe and are none the wiser that we make our efforts harder than they have to be.  The obstacle is not there to make your life harder.  The obstacle is there to make YOU better.  When you can change the way you look at things, then the things you look at will change.  Struggle less and allow your energy to not come to crashing blows with the obstacle, but to work with the flow of the obstacle’s energy.  Think about it this way: have you ever had a person who you struggled with or fought against at work, home, or an acquaintance?  You saw things weren’t working, so you changed the way you came at them.  You worked to stop fighting and started working more on understanding them.  It drained you less, and you found you might have had a good collaboration together.  Work smarter not harder.  Find ways to make your life easier. There will always be obstacles but you don’t have to fight every single one.  You can change your perception and work to become better; not to see the obstacle as a road block but as a stepping stone in your learning process.

The reason I choose happiness is because it makes my world around me happy too.

When we CHOOSE to be happy we create energies around us that help transform other people’s energies as well.  By brooding, being depressed, upset, sad or sulking not only drowns your energies, but it drowns the energies of the people around you as well. People feed off of what you put out.  So to have a better environment, you have to create the environment you want before it’s physically there.  You have to be able to produce and BE happy to have happiness surround you.  Be persistent and patient with staying happy.  Happiness is a choice and a behavior—not an out of the blue situation that brings pleasure. Even in a bad situation you can choose how you wish to experience it. So choose happiness, and help others to be lifted by your happiness.

The opposite of stress is in control.  I choose to be in control.

When we allow stress to overtake our lives we are out of control.  When stress is the one deciding how our bodies function; our minds dry up and become stagnant, our lives become a roller coaster that we’re tied to…and this roller coaster is not a fun one. The external situations will be out of our control, so we must remember we control the way we decide to experience the situation. A quote I like from the movie After Earth where Will Smith’s Character says: “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”  The choice is always yours to be in control of yourself in any situation, or to let something else control you. Which one are you going to choose?

I go towards my healing 100%. There is NO plan B.

There is no try, there’s only 100% effort in what I set my mind to. The outcome may not happen right away, so I’ll have faith and diligence to continue putting my full effort in what I am after.  If the pursuit is worth it, then I will work towards it until the ends of the earth if I have to, but I know won’t have to wait that long if I put in everything I have.  Defeat is not in losing the battle, but in giving up the war.  I choose to see the bigger picture of what I want for my life, and I will have no doubt…because doubt brings death—death of dreams, death of happiness, and death of the life I want. I will believe in myself knowing when I give 100% no matter how long it takes, I will find a way to be successful.

My mind is a blueprint, and I craft my life knowing I am in control of my destiny.

The beliefs I craft in my mind create my personal blueprint and it’s how I operate my life. If I build a bad personal blueprint, I’ll create a life that is not consistent with who I am and what I want.  To have what I want isn’t difficult, change happens by changing the beliefs I have about what I deserve.  I deserve to reach my fullest potential and fulfillment because it’s what I was brought to this earth for.  I’m not meant to fade, fizzle, and burn out.  I am meant to reach my amazing potential, and I will do that by remembering the personal blueprint in my mind will help me craft the bridge from where I am to where I have always been meant to be. 

I am purposeful in every thought to help me create the life I deserve and want.

I am powerful.

The greatest obstacle in our lives is ourselves.  We steal our power thinking we are weak, thinking we are stupid, or by comparing ourselves to other people.  You were born to be an amazing presence on this earth.  You were born to be powerful not weak.  Power is not in being strong and forcing things.  Power comes from choosing to stand tall at the gates in front of you.  To not beat them down with mere force, but to say I will do whatever it takes to make it through—even if that means waiting here a thousand years until they rust and fall down.

I am conscious.

I was telling a great mentor of mine that I thought he was the smartest person I knew.  He replied, “I’m not smart; I’m conscious.”  Some of the smartest people I’ve known were clueless to what a happy life is.  You can seek knowledge, but the greatest thing everyone seeks—is to feel good. When we are awake and we are conscious, we are then able to see the paths to make our lives a fulfilling beautiful experience, not just at the end of our time, but through the whole journey.

How can you be more awake in in your life?  Where have you fallen asleep at the wheel in your life?  I think it’s not so much that we aren’t conscious or don’t care, but that we are overwhelmed with all the stuff happening in our lives that we have learned to operate more on auto pilot. How can you focus on what’s important to you? Change happens with small consistent improvements so today, what are the 3 emotions that you want to experience? Make that your mission to create more ways to feel those things and I can guarantee the more you become interested on what makes you feel alive, then the more alive you will become in your life.

I learn things easily.

I stump myself by saying that things are hard, or that things are difficult.  I create the prison that defines what is true in my life.  While something may be hard, I can reframe the equation to find the stronger better parts within myself.  When I say something is hard I create a wall, a resistance, a force that is pushing against my life instead of being in accordance with my life. When I decide I can learn with ease; I create a different energy that allows my mind, body, and spirit to flow at a different pace—to create a truth in myself that will decide what is possible or not. 

I create my own realities through what I say in my mind. So why have I chosen to make things so hard previously? I now choose to think differently and focus on the strength that I learn things easily instead of it being hard, and I rewrite the whole equation I have been living my life upon.

I learn things easily not because things come easy to me, but because I am willing to put in whatever work is necessary to come to the solution.

I will find love in all my actions today.

We live in a world that is furthering itself more and more away from being connected with one another.  We are emailing one another, texting each other, or finding more ways not to have human connection.  We have become a society focused more on talking but not really communicating.  There’s so much power in making a human connection, there’s so much synergy in sharing ideas with people face to face, and there’s an energy that creates a snowball effect of life changing events when we truly connect with someone.

So, the next time you can call instead of email, do it.  The next time you can stop over and see someone face to face instead of calling, then do it.  The next time you can hug someone instead of giving them a handshake, then do it.  And the next time you can let someone know how much they mean to you instead of keeping it silent in your head, then do it.  Plant beautiful actions in your life garden today.
