Are Affirmations Really A Passport To Happiness?
I love the concept of affirmations being like a passport.
When you are traveling to another country you must have a passport to be allowed entry into that country.
If you arrive at the destination and have no passport you are refused entry so you must have a passport to enter into that other place.
Sadly for most people the country they are living in is the country of negativity and sadness and while they may always dream about traveling one day to that lucky country called happiness they have no passport to get there.
Affirmations can be that passport with diligent practice.
You just can not say one or two positive affirmations and then be instantly transported to a different dimension.
There is work involved in getting a passport.
You have to fill in all the paper work, get a photo taken and go to the appropriate office and get it approved and so on.
You just don't wish a passport into existence and so it is with affirmations.
Affirmations are a powerful tool just like the passport and can gain you entry into that happy place but you have to continue to chip away until you succeed.
Introduce affirmations into your life in non-intrusive ways such as listening to affirmations while driving or walking.
Speak affirmations out loud a few times before leaving the house for the day and do the same at night before going to bed.
When you catch yourself being negative counteract it with a positive affirmation.
Keep training yourself to be happy.
Happiness comes from happy thoughts so think on happy thoughts.
A passport can take you places.
With a passport you can travel all over the world and see things you would never normally see.
Affirmations can do the same, affirmations can take you places and help you see things in a totally different light.
It is when seeing things in a different light that you start to see opportunity when it presents itself and reach greater heights then ever before.
You only get to the top of the ladder by starting to climb from the bottom rung.
If you are at that bottom rung then today is the day to start climbing.
It doesn't take long to get to the top once you start but you must start.
Start using those affirmations today, treat them as your passport and whip them out just like you were passing through customs to the land of happiness.
