I recall the spring of 2021 when I shifted my mindset. Instead of dwelling on what I lacked, I embraced gratitude for what I had. Understanding the power God blessed us all with and listening to Florence Scovel Shinn on YouTube, I tapped into the power we all possess—the ability to speak and think what we want into existence.

Money flowed effortlessly, and I spent fearlessly, confident it would return. Despite attempts of negativity, my joy remained unscathed, and I smiled genuinely.

Fast forward to a day in late 2021, spending time at the mall with a friend and our children. Generosity led to a comment about spending too much. In that moment, I questioned why I let someone’s words affect me.

From that moment until recently, life wasn’t going my way. Tight finances, a dark thought process, and frustration set in. Reflecting on the joyous days of 2021, I realized I needed to return to what worked—I put out positive thoughts and energy to receive the same.

No more focusing on lack; instead, I choose joy and embrace what I have. I know and believe I decide how my day goes. I move with zero fear, blessed with the power to think, speak, believe, and receive what I want in life.

I challenge you to regroup and focus on the positive. Speak only what you want to manifest. I guarantee you’ll see a difference.

~Think it, believe it, and receive it~
