Affirmations Part 2

Here is the second pair:

Strong, Powerful

Strong: We all possess an incredible inner strength we can learn to utilize and project in both aggressive and protective modes. Powerful: We are capable of amazing influence and control, and these two concepts together form a superhero level of persuasion.

The main thing to realize with these pairs is that they go both ways, constructive and destructive, and there is often temptation to use them for purely personal gain. Unfortunately, this is always embedded in memory: what goes around comes around sooner or later, so if action is taken with hatred or malice, you will inevitably get some of the same back just as intensely. However, if the action is taken within a feeling of love and compassion, and you assist others in a constructive manner, that is what you’ll get in return. This is much bigger than the Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you), as memory is forever, and you must deal with it at some point. Even a hateful or negative judgmental thought has the same effect, and it also probably will destroy or reduce your ability to manifest something you really want. So, strength and power need to be couched in terms of constructive action toward self and others or protecting yourself from others’ intention of harm
