from the publisher Remembering Why We Are Here From the moment we are born, we know that we are here to create greatness. We arrive without preconceived notions knowing that we can do anything. But as we grow, we learn words like “no,” “you can’t,” “you shouldn’t,” and “don’t.” Then before long, we believe them. Now our perception becomes “what can I do,” instead of “I can do anything.” How we think and the words we use do matter. If we project negative, all we will get is negative. If we project positive, we will attract positive. The energy we create around ourselves leads us to who and where we are today. “Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” So if the paragraph above is true, and I believe it to be, we can do anything we put our minds and energy to. So consider yourself on notice. What are you doing to create the life you desire? When you wake up in the morning, do you wake up thinking I don’t want to get out of bed, or I hate my job, or life sucks? Or do you wake up in the morning saying, thank you God for this beautiful day? We are all here to do great things. If we allow the negative circumstances to control our life, we can’t remember why we are here to do these wonderful things. So today, be different. Find only the positive in situations. Look for the beauty around you. Know that you can be whoever you want to be. You are in control of you. And open your mind to remembering why you are here in the first place.
