There’s a curse mark on your forehead

How you stop yourself from being great

There are moments we curse ourselves without even knowing.

The curse festers like a boil but is unseen in its physical manifestation. Unseen. . . or at least unseen in a way we choose not to see. But like any wound blistered, open, and infected, the curse sinks deep into our blood and our brittle bones and is passed on to child after child, connected through the same vein that is ancestry.

Have you cursed yourself before? Said a spell against yourself . . . one time or two times or a million-and-you-can’t-keep-count times?

Perhaps, you have. I’ve said those curse words myself.

What if. . .? And I somehow can’t.

Unless, I can. And how many times have I said that?

The what if’s are things we think cannot happen to us in the way it happens to others.

What if I can’t be rich? What if I was born to be forever unloved? What if I matter to no one and must always be the one to matter to myself? What if I can’t go that far, and those can only be dreams? And, those are things that happen to other people. . . not me.

The what if’s aren’t just questions that start with “what if ‘’. They are an energy; that is what binds it into being a curse. If you tell me to prove this of every man, I will show you everyone that has been successful, everyone who has not been, and the questions they have asked and answered.

A happier, more successful and free life from speaking positively to yourself is not a myth unless you expect it to be. If it’s a myth then it does no harm to experiment and see what it does. Either way, there’s a 50% percent chance that it will work for you and another 50% that it won’t. That means it might actually work. or it won’t and your life will stay exactly the same.

There is literally nothing to lose, you’re already living the life you’re living.

The negative questions are not the same as being realistic. You can be realistic and positive — the two go together unlike popular belief suggests. The energy I’m talking about here affirms that some things in life are impossible in your world or your life. However, we’re well aware of the cliche “nothing is impossible”.

Generally, most people think they need to see it before they believe it. However, the facts of the universe have proved that we actually need to believe it before we see it. For example, everything that has ever been invented in this world.

Before inventing something, the first person in the universe to invent it had not seen it prior to their invention, but yet, that is the stuff of existence. They are objects, technology, lifestyles, and things we know as possible.

So why can’t you believe in yourself?

If you don’t believe in yourself the truth is that you’ve chosen not to.

PS: You are allowed to feel defensive about this statement.

But do not stay in that defense. Consider it, and take your next step afterward. Opt to try something that might impact you to greater heights. Speak positivity and see what changes happen in your life.

The what if’s are a negative energy that manifests in all areas of our lives. We believe these things and so curse ourselves and even teach the same words to our children. Like any spell cast, our children and ten other generations behind them say this to themselves and we see in their lives the same generational curses.

You can break it if you want to. Choose it; the energy of positivity and positive speaking.

To speak these things is no easy feat. For one thing, you can’t fake the energy of positivity. If you are faking anything, it is not the energy of the thing you are faking that is picked up, it is the energy that you are faking that comes through. Again, this is not an easy task because you actually have to believe it.

To believe at this level, you have to be completely realistic and non-judgmental of everything. The focus here is that being conscious of reality allows you to create a new reality. That is why being defensive can only take you so far. Staying in your defensiveness is a denial of current reality, therefore blocking possible (or the seemingly impossible to some) realities.

You can do it, dear reader.

I believe in you.

This is the energy I put out to you as you read this right now. A belief that indeed, you can do the things that seem impossible to you.
