The Power of I AM
As spiritual beings
exploring this human experience, one of the greatest assets we’re born with is our mind.
Happy Sunday Beautiful People!
I hope you’ve started your day with a spirit of excellence and gratitude. I am so happy and grateful for you. Because you really inspire me to grow and keep leading by example. We are all leaders, whether we are conscious of it or not, we are all leading or influencing someone. One of the most important people you will ever lead is yourself. As spiritual beings exploring this human experience, one of the greatest assets we’re born with is our mind. Catch this: I AM the thinker that thinks the thought that makes the thing. (Now say it out loud) I AM the thinker that thinks the thought that makes the thing. Pretty powerful, right?
I just love being in tune with my highest self and inviting you into my world of consciousness. Let’s continue.
So last year this time, I was fully indulged in this book called Power of Awareness by Neville Goddard. It’s some pretty deep stuff but I was ready for it — it was literally perfect timing. On the first page it reads, ‘I AM’ is the self-definition of the absolute, the foundation on which everything rests. ‘I AM’ is the first cause-substance. ‘I AM’ is the self-definition of God.” I grabbed my highlighter so fast and marked this page up! And several more after that. I believe we are all individual expressions of God. Prosperity is our birthright. We were born into abundance. Anything we want we can have.
So last year this time, we had this crazy, random, record-breaking winter storm and my lights/water was out for like 4 days. My mentor who lived nearby called me as soon as I realized my water wasn’t working and said I could come stay with her in the meantime. (God knows our needs before we do.) So I packed up my things, walked out my door and I swear I felt like I was in the movie I Am Legend with Will Smith. The hallways were pitch black dark. I had to take the stairs due to the elevator not working and then by the time I got outside it was so bright, shiny, and deserted. I finally get to my mentor’s house and she’s always the hostess with the mostest. She set me up very well in her guest room that had a nice window, comfy bed with a bunch of pillows, and a private bathroom. In my mind, I was thinking, “ I wonder if she’d be open to a roommate.”
So also last year this time, the end of my lease was approaching and I had already made the decision to move in with my Dad. The plan was for me to live with him rent-free, save my money for 6 months and then move into my new place. Sounds like a good, conservative, responsible plan, right? Well after I made the decision, I kept having these moments of resistance. Have you ever made a decision that you were extremely confident in and literally the moment after, you get this feeling of doubt or fear? Well, that happened to me — although my Dad’s habits and I don’t mix, I was questioning whether it was worth the sacrifice. The whole “sometimes you have to be uncomfortable to keep striving for success” talk started ringing in my head and I just canceled the thought of going back on my decision.
I get settled and I continue reading my book.
Now there’s a reason why I’m giving you all this back story, but let’s pause right here.
I felt the doubt. I considered agreeing with the doubt. I made the choice not to and then I trusted my decision. And then I immediately put myself in a positive environment that was going to feed my mind the wisdom and/or peace I was seeking. For some of you, when doubt comes, you just sit there. I call it the ‘swing of doubt’ just swinging back and forth in the doubt as to if that’s the place where you’re going to gain clarity. I know it’s tough sometimes but get off the swing. Don’t just get off the swing, trust yourself and JUMP off the swing! (Oh, wow that’s a lesson within itself. I’ll have to revisit this and dig deeper on that later.)
As I’m reading the book, I get inspired to start my affirmation journal. I have a journal that I talk to God in, but I’ve never had a journal where I was just affirming myself and my goals. It took me a minute before I could write the first sentence because it felt a little weird just writing a whole bunch of I AM statements. I went to Pinterest to get some inspiration and then it was ON!
‘I am peace. I am love. I am joy. I am abundance. I am free. I am secure. I have everything I need. I have the power to create worlds inside of me. I am a money magnet. Prosperity flows in and through me. I receive all the abundance of life. I am free to do what I want when I want. I am generous with what I have. I love my life. I greet every day with excitement. God takes good care of me. I deserve the best and I accept the best now. God is directing my every step and I trust him fully.’ Baby girl was going in. I wrote about 4 pages. I started expressing the vision for my life, my new apartment, my family, and a whole bunch of stuff. I hopped on the gram and saw everybody’s posts about the storm and the government and the food shortages and then my amazing, positive energy started to deplete. I closed the app and recited my new affirmations out loud and it felt better than it did the first time I read it.
A week goes by and I’m determined to finish this book. I had a long day of work so I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner in the area I was dreaming about moving to. I use to drive and park in front of the building 2 or 3x a week and just sit there on a call or in prayer. Proximity is key. So I get home from dinner and I’m finally on the last chapter. I say to myself, “I can’t move in with my Dad. I have to get my own place.” If you read the book, you’ll gather more insight into why I made such an impulsive decision. Long story short, I was in a higher state of consciousness. The person that made the decision to move in with her Dad 4 weeks ago was not as connected to her highest self as she thought. Being conservative and responsible are not always the best cards to pull when you’re dreaming BIG! When I made that decision, I was only considering my own efforts, not God’s. I was focused on playing it safe versus demanding what I wanted to show up right now. I was willing to sacrifice my physical comfortability, not knowing I was setting myself up to be in bondage mentally. There’s no price tag on my peace. Now that I’ve established this state of consciousness where I exist in my future on a daily basis, moving in with my Dad was something of my past which made it out of alignment to where I was going.
The next day I applied and got approved for an apartment directly across the street from the place I wrote in my affirmation journal. I literally wrote the exact address in my journal and now my current address is on the same street. Now you may be thinking: Wow, won’t he do it!
No, won’t you do it?!
I became more aware of my power and I applied it - REAL TIME! I disconnected myself from my physical senses and plugged into my spiritual senses. It was the God in me that made these things come to fruition. I AM the thinker that thinks the thought that makes the thing. I take ownership of my heart’s desires and I wrap them in the awareness that it’s already done!
I want to encourage you to lead with the end in mind always. Don’t wait for a single person to take action towards what you want for your life. Deepen your relationship with God and your decision-making skills will become top tier. The average adult makes about 35,000 decisions a day — the majority of them are made subconsciously. Get off the swing and jump into the word.
With love and grace,
Precious Azurée
P.S. If any of you know any editors, please let me know. I write how I talk and I know there’s several of grammatical errors in this post. It’s called DONE NOT PERFECT. 😏 Thanks in advance!
