In Part One of this article on ‘How Affirmations Change Our Lives’, I shared my personal experiences with affirmations. I also shared that prayer:
- Can help us change our thinking thus change our life and reality!
- Can rewire your brain to respond and act on the positive rather than the negative!
- Changes your brain wiring and even your DNA!
Simply reciting positive affirmations often comes short or incomplete if it is the only prayer we pray. I found that first, we each, individually, need to take responsibility for where we are in life right now.
My life began taking a big change when I read the book: ‘The Road Less Traveled’ by M. Scott Peck. Of course, the book and the title, in particular, was a play on the Robert Frost poem: The Road Not Taken.
I especially came to love the last couple lines in Frost’s poem:
My decision and epiphany after reading Scott Peck’s book ‘made all the difference’ in where my life went going forward.
He made several wonderful points in the book, but one really spoke to my heart. In order to be happy and successful, I needed to take responsibility for my life. I could no longer blame someone else for my problems or circumstances. I was the one responsible!
So what does this have to do with affirmations? Well, until I owned up to my mistakes and foibles in life, nothing would change. And that is where positive affirmative prayer started to make a difference in my life.
But just not affirmations, but directed affirmative prayer.
More coming in Part Three!
