Your Daily Affirmation for August 4, 2009:I am created after the likeness of God, the Creator, the Source of Absolute Good. Therefore divinity is my heritage, infinite potential is my present reality and the good life is my destiny. Today I embrace my authentic self, and I am blessed and a blessing.
Living your best life and giving your best to life, begins with knowing how wonderful the authentic you is. The authentic you is the you that remains after all the material possessions, titles, degrees, memberships and other add-on's are stripped away. The authentic you is the world within you, where your soul meets with the God of your being.
We live in a culture that tends to emphasize things external to us, rather than the "within" of us. Today's affirmation grounds us in the truth of who we are by nature. The greatness of the authentic you is anchored within you. It is invisible to the eye, yet it always existed and always will. It is important to affirm this greatness to yourself frequently and with the understanding that it is unchanging. It cannot be diminished or increased by your family background, your net worth, the decisions or experiences of your past and certainly not by your material possessions. On the contrary, knowing and living in the awareness of your authentic self, puts you in an excellent place to create blessings of all types for yourself, those around you and the world.
Wishing you peace, joy, health, wisdom, love, acceptance and all manner of prosperity!
