The Power of Yes - Just say Yes! by Deborah Coates

Did you know that when you decide to say yes to your dreams, without you knowing it, a supernatural, invisible force is activated within you? It is standing ready to help you achieve that which you have determined to do.

Try it once. Say yes to something you’ve always wanted to do. Take some action toward accomplishing it. Did you notice something change within you? Did you discover some doors miraculously became open for you? Did someone appear that could help you?

When you say yes to something, positive energy will begin to encircle you. Remain in a state of ‘yes I can’ for a time and see what happens. Did you gain energy? Remember you are not relying solely upon yourself, to make the thing come about. The Spirit within you is in agreement also. Your Spirit will help you, guide you and wants nothing more than to see you succeed. Trust in that which lies within you and watch what happens.

You may meet with Fear.

It shows up often times at the very moment you are about to take that all important step. Tell it to step aside and keep on moving. Watch how fast it disappears. Fear is a bandit. It wants to rob you of your dream. It masquerades in many forms and attempts to ambush you. The amazing thing about Fear is how quickly it vanishes once you go on ahead of it. Remember, Fear is false evidence APPEARING real. Each time you conquer Fear, you are reinforcing the positive force field around you. This is what strengthens you and propels you forward to the next step.

Your mind will trick you.

Its job is to keep you from feeling any discomfort. It doesn’t like change or anything unknown. Tell your mind, “thank you very much for sharing” and keep moving. That which is good for you, sometimes will require you to act in spite of any uneasiness you may be feel at the time. Like any unused muscle, enough practice and you will eventually become stronger in these areas. Remember, when you feel uncomfortable it means you are growing!

When to say no.

Say yes, when it leads you toward your dream. Say no, if it interferes with or deters you from your plans. Stay clear from people, places or things that don’t encourage you to succeed. Protect yourself. Find a place to be alone. Think and dissect your situation.

Practice saying yes. It will transform your life, strengthen your confidence and drive away fear. The secret is saying yes. Yes, to your dreams, yes, to your creative spirit, yes, to the possibilities! Practice speaking affirmations out loud, or writing them out, as often as you can, to reinforce your positive force field.

Remember, whenever you are learning a new behavior, you need to be patient with yourself. Like anything else, when you are in training (and in this case you are training your sub-conscious mind) you need to repeat certain actions (until your conscious mind automatically recognizes them to be true and brings into reality that which it hears the subconscious mind telling it.)

As you state each affirmation, bring about the feeling associated with it. For example: feel the love around you when you state you are lovable; how good does it feel to see your bank account mount higher and higher everyday; what would it feel like to be happy. Linking the feeling to the affirmation will cement these truths to your sub-conscious mind.

A good suggestion toward visualization is to copy your bank statement each month and add zeroes to the end balance. Cut out pictures of everything your heart desires and paste them up like a story-board. When you focus on the exact picture of what you want, that’s when things really begin to vibrate in your favor.

Think of one thing you can do RIGHT NOW to make your dream come true. Every decision you make, builds, strengthens, and fortifies the stronghold that YOU CAN!
So, what is it you want to say yes to? If you said, yes to YOU and YOUR DREAMS, you answered correctly. Now GO FOR IT! Who makes it happen? Repeat after me, “I do! I make it happen”! I dare YOU to succeed.
