Affirmations don’t work. Context works whether you want it or not. What’s the difference between an invented context and an affirmation?
“I’ve always been famous, it’s just no one knew it yet.” Lady Gaga
What’s the difference between you saying that sentence and Lady Gaga saying that sentence?
The difference is fundamental, and goes to the heart of the “human condition” and the quality of your life.
Human Being, as a species, is capable of self-direction, at least by design. Capable of self-evolvement, capable of using their WORD to create.
Whether Lady Gaga has this capacity, or this is just a bon mot… i.e. a clever saying, is immaterial.
Some people’s word matters (creates), and others’ word doesn’t.
