A Vision for the Power of I AM.

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Declaring “I am” is a uniquely human experience. One that we can create for ourselves. Being deliberate about the “I am” statements we think and we say gives us access to designing a life we love.

Imagine a world filled with people living in the power of “I am surrounded by love”, “I am calm and centered”, “I am open minded”, and “I am confident”. Imagine mothers, daughters, fathers and sons, best friends and colleagues sharing the possibility of joy, love, serenity and peace with one another. Wouldn’t that be extraordinary?

Our vision is to be cause in 1,000,000 people choosing to be engaged in the conversation “I am” in such a way that they create a better life for themselves, their family and their community.

That’s why we created Affirmawraps. And why I am so passionate about inviting people to help us literally wrap the world in the good stuff. The more we all focus on it, the more it expands.

So today, let’s turn our attention to the “I am’s” we are expressing throughout the day. And watch how shifting our “I am”, shifts our day. This is such a powerful practice.

Life is good.

One of my favorite things is going to seminars. I always take away a nugget (or a gold brick) of wisdom that I need. Mark Victor Hansen, Zig Ziglar, James Ray - all this guys have inspired me at one time or another. But I remember one experience very very vividly. It was the day I asked myself ‘why can’t I be on stage sharing what I am passionate about? How did these people get there?’.

Then ‘whap’ - I got it. They gave themselves permission to be up there. They asked for the opportunity, and they went for it. Ah-ha!

Within a year I found myself in front of 300 people, then 700 people doing of all things - asking for money! I gave myself permission to be stage, and the opportunity to speak at a fundraiser for my favorite non-profit showed up. Was I scared? Of course. Did it work out OK? Yes. We raised over $500,000 between two luncheons!

So, I ask you, what is possible for your life? What do you want for yourself, your family, your community?

I encourage you to take a few moments to ask yourself just that. Once you do you’ll be amazed at the opportunities that unfold!

My dad is so cool. About once a month, he changes the outgoing message on his cel phone to one of his favorite inspirational quotes. I was delighted when I heard his most recent; “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

In a world that occasionally gives “positive thinking” a bad rap, what was even more delightful was learning who uttered those words. It was our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln.
