We may not always be aware of it, but we all create
and repeat affirmations constantly.
The problem is, we typically don't pay attention

We may project confidence to the world around us,
while our inner dialogue says...
I hope this works.
I am so nervous about this.
I hope I don't blow it.
Affirmations are self fulfilling prophecies.
If we say, This is never going to work

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
