Make Me Stronger

Affirmation & Explanation

Make Me Stronger - Rebecca Alderman

Dealing with our past can be a daunting task. OR it can be exhilarating and edifying. Realizing that once a moment has past it can never be grabbed back is the first step. Getting stronger as a person is not as hard as you might think.

Make Me Stronger

Focusing on the “now” circumstances after something has happened is the key.  If you focus on the mistake or event in the past, you get weaker because it’s gone.  The only thing you can ever change is the present.

You can’t change tomorrow because it’s not here yet. You can’t change yesterday because it’s gone.

With courage to admit those two truths, you can change what happens right now and with humility you vicariously become stronger in spirit and character.

What a great journey we can have in life with just a few simple changes in the way we think.

Use this affirmation to change your “now”.

Past is Past & Here Comes My Future

Affirmation & Explanation

Past Is Past - Rebecca Alderman

You can really get stuck when others’ behavior rips through you like a bulldozer ripping through a crumbling building.  But you don’t have to allow such ripping in your emotions or your body.  Matter-a-fact, you can put it all in the past the very minute after it happens.  This does take some practice, though – and determination.

Past is Past & Here Comes My Future

I can remember how excited I was when I got down to only carrying something harsh around inside me  for 1 week, then 1 day, then 1 hour, then 1 minute.  WOW!  Talk about freeing and liberating.

Your can do it, too. But you really have to want to be free from the negative influence of others. And you have to let them go if they choose not to change.  You can only control “you”.   And that’s certainly a liberating thought, too!

So how about it!  Ready to memorize and use this affirmation today? Go for it!
