I cannot let this week go by without acknowledging The Scroll Marked II, from The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino. For the first half of the month I read the opening line as written in the book “I will greet this day with love in my heart”.
The author went on to explain how this principle is invaluable in finding success in life. Love truly is powerful and agape love, or love without attachment, reflects high morals and character.
As I continued with the daily practice of reading the scroll my heart, was being opened by challenging me not to judge but to love others
Midway through the month, as instructed, I eliminated the word “will” and repeatedly read, both quietly and aloud “I greet this day with love in my heart” for a few days. Then I was inspired to change or customize the sentence to read “I live this day with love in in my heart”.
The next day it morphed into “I live this day and every day with love in my heart”. Overnight, it grew some more and I found myself stating with enthusiasm “I live this day and every day with love in my heart for myself, humanity, and all of God’s creatures”.
With each iteration of my affirmation I felt the principle come alive within me as my heart expanded and grew with agape love.
To further bolster my affirmation, the first line in The Master Key System, Part Ten, by Charles Haanel, line 1: “Abundance is a natural law of the Universe…” provided more texture.
Yes, I live in an abundant universe and there is no lack of love. As I learn and evolve by observing and embracing the principles that govern the universe, and that I find in the MKE (Master Key Experience) course, I know that I will succeed. For this I am most grateful.
Carmen,
Your Week 10 affirmation journey is truly transformative and reflective of your kind and peaceful nature. Your choice to greet each day with love in your heart, evolving it into a profound expression of love for yourself, humanity, and all of God’s creatures, is both inventive and inspiring. The way you customized and expanded your affirmation demonstrates your clear perspective and balanced approach to life. Your incorporation of Charles Haanel’s insight on abundance beautifully complements your objective and even-tempered mindset. Your gratitude and commitment to the principles in the MKE course reflect your patient and accepting demeanor. Keep living with love, Carmen – your peaceful and centered energy radiates in every word!
Hi Carmen, thanks for sharing you affirmation and how it evolved so beautifully.
Great post! I really liked how the one sentence morphed for you into embracing everything around you! You are Awesome!
Carmen! I LOVE the metamorphosis of that line! Beautiful and powerful! (there’s that powerful from “Carmen is whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy”. There’s that loving too! Go Carmen!)
Thank you Carmen for sharing this heartfelt blog. I enjoyed reading how you claimed Og’s affirmation and how it evolved to being “I live this day and every day with love in my heart for myself, humanity, and all of God’s creatures.” You’re blog was exactly what I needed to read today. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Day..
Thank you, Marie.
Thank you, Roxie Ann.
I absolutely love your detail and the way this blog is written! Thank you.
Carmen, I truly love your blog. I hadn’t thought of changing it as you have, but what a beautiful idea! I had started each day with stating “I greet this day with love in my heart” as soon as my eyes opened. Then I would state it every time I have to re-start my mental diet regardless of what time of the day; I figured every time I reset, it’s a whole new day.
Thank you for sharing!
Carmen, amazingly delicious example of Self Directed Thinking! Love LOVE LOVE your ever evolving stunning affirmation.
What a beautiful affirmation, and confirmation of all the love around us, Carmen. It may be easier for some to see during the holiday seasons, but your affirmation can help hold onto it for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing!!!
