When it comes to spiritual growth, why do some people are so successful at reaching goals and manifesting change, while others with the same talents seem to struggle so hard? One of the most repeated answers to this question is very simple; because they are constantly casting a spell against themselves.
Your word is a magical power in itself, for good and bad. Your word is literally your ability to cast a constant spell over your own life, and to shape your inner reality; and whatever shape your inner reality has, it will influence a great amount of your outer reality too. Words are the beginning of ALL creation. A very effective way to train yourself into having a more powerfulmind+spirit (for me, this always works as a combo) is to observe the way you talk about your everyday life, and work to reprogram your most negative patterns into more positive ones. Let's see this through an example: If you find yourself constantly saying things like “I never have enough time”, or “I am always late”, or have an abstract, but constant and pressing idea of hurry on your mind – then it is time to stop every time those words come, breathe three times in and out deeply and slowly, and reprogram with “there is time for everything”, “timing is always perfect in my life”, “ I always have time enough” or create affirmations that fit your specific needs. And, this is extremely important: you have to believe it, understand it, and embody it. You have to rejoice in the feeling that those affirmations create, and you have to start existing from that new perspective; and that means learning to savour life at every single moment, learning to remove useless distractions and filling your life with meaning and experience. Your words need YOU to become manifestation; if you do not allow them to happen through you, they just won't. Don't forget that this is always a process, that there is no finish line, and that you are just human; to fail is completely normal, and for something to become second nature, it takes time. This is a training, a practise; just as you would not become an Olympic athlete in a day, a week, or even a year, retraining your thoughts is a continued effort.
And be careful; things that you say as funny, filled with sarcasm or nihilism, act exactly the same way as those who are more obviously harmful, because your subconscious does not know the difference between one and the other. While having a good sense of humour is extremely useful for a happy life, and it can sometimes help us cope with difficult situations, that is not the same as entertaining unhealthy cynicism. If it's keeping you from moving on and growing, it is time to leave it behind!
