It’s been exactly a week since my brokenhearted friend called me crying at 3am, telling me how she wanted to die because of what she was going through. “You won’t die ooooo!!!”, I literally shouted. She went quiet for a moment and started laughing because she thought I took what she said too serious. Of course, I did because I believe words are powerful and at that time, she wasn’t herself.
I remember deliberately doing a one month manifestation experiment. For 30 days, I woke up every morning saying really positive things about my life. Designing how I wanted my day to be like and declaring all that I wanted to receive during the day. Guess what? It worked like magic, not literally. But it worked. I didn’t have manna falling from Heaven or things becoming really easy for me as you think.
The thing is, irrespective of what happened to me during those days, my days still ended with at least one of the things that I said over my life before stepping out to work. I didn’t even have an instant realization. I only got a hang of what was happening a month later when I realized things were very different from when I used to do my morning manifestations.
Now, my friends call me Ambassador of Positivity. And it’s really just as it is. Some of them even call me Sofo Maame( lady pastor) just because I’m mostly telling them to take any bad things they say back and declare positive things over their lives. It’s no secret that I believe words are powerful, really powerful so if I could say great things about myself, then why not do it. I mean it’s even free of charge!
There are times our words put us in really frustrating positions, and the sad part is we don’t even realize. Instead of saying something isn’t going to work out, why not say it will? You’re drowning in life? Why not say you are blessed? People say “oh but saying I’m blessed doesn’t make my life great”. Honestly, it’s all up to you. Nobody charges you for saying good things about your life and same as bad things so if you’d rather choose to put yourself in a tunnel of darkness, all the best.
One of the constant arguments between my friends and I are about me not knowing how to play. But I also think they are the ones who don’t know the meaning of playing. You really can’t say something negative about me and tell me “oh come on” I was just playing. Please no, that doesn’t look like playing to me. I believe words are very powerful so use that same playing energy to say colourful things about my life.
