Day 29: Removing “HOW” and “WHY” Out Of Your Vocabulary Say to yourself:

“I now let go of worn out things and worn out conditions. I release the past and live in the NOW where I am free from all my old ideas. I am Creative, Generous, and One with God. Happy surprises come to me every day. I am an irresistible magnet for all that belongs to me by Divine right.”

AMEN!

Bless what you have and watch it multiply.

If you only have 5 dollars, bless it, give thanks, and watch it multiply just like Jesus Christ multiplied the loaves and fishes.

(The quote in the image above is from The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price.)

If you have a little bit of health (if you can get out of bed, walk, move your arms, read this message), then bless your perfect health, give thanks and watch that little bit of health multiply into greater health!

If you have one good relationship, bless it, give thanks, and watch it multiply into many beautiful relationships.

Whatever you bless multiplies.

Today is a super-practical lesson: Taking “Why” and “How” out of your vocabulary. Getting rid of the questions that keep you trapped in littleness and limitation.

Yesterday I introduced the idea that everything that seems to happen to me, I caused.

3

A lot of people know this idea from A Course in Miracles; it is one of the major themes. But often what happens is that instead of using this realization for freedom – I AM DOING THIS TO MYSELF, I CAUSED THIS AND NOW I CAN CHANGE MY MIND – people get stuck in thinking about “WHY would I do this?” and “HOW could I have done this?” and then feeling guilty.

Back to the car analogy from yesterday – it would be like driving a car in 2nd gear when you need to be in 5th and instead of shifting, you continue to drive in 2nd gear WONDERING WHY or HOW you are driving in 2nd gear, feeling guilty for driving in 2nd gear, telling people how you are driving in 2nd gear, how loud it is, how difficult it is, how annoying. You would call that crazy. SHIFT ALREADY! But in our dramas in life, this is EXACTLY what we do. We linger in the problem wondering WHY we are causing it, why is it happening, HOW can we fix it, what is the lesson in it, feeling bad about it, telling people about it, complaining about it, wondering what to do, praying about it, wanting the situation to change.

There is the WANT word. Want can only occur when you are not aligned in God. In God, there are no needs and no wants. Only certainty.

JUST SHIFT. Once you recognize you are in the wrong gear, SHIFT. Don’t hang out there wondering WHY or HOW you got in this situation, feeling like you’re doing something wrong. Just shift.

This is why I asked you yesterday to change your I WANT to I AM.

It is the shift from Doubt to Certainty.

Instead of saying “I WANT to get out of 2nd gear” you change it to “I AM OUT OF 2nd GEAR” and this change of mind causes an action.

Today, I want you to spend time being aware of all the times your mind goes to HOW or WHY.

WHY is that person doing that?

WHY would she do that?

WHY don’t they get it?

HOW can they be so mean and selfish?

HOW can I fix this problem?

5

The biggest delay tactic in the world is to think about WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

Who cares why it’s happening? It’s happening! Change your mind. To try and figure out why or how something is occurring is to stay trapped there.

6

MIRACLES OCCUR WHERE THERE IS CERTAINTY. THEY CANNOT HAPPEN WHERE THERE IS DOUBT.

Today is a major shift: From doubt to certainty.

Your words and thoughts are extremely powerful!! So you want to continue cleaning house if necessary. Be alert to your thoughts today. See when you spend time wondering about a person or situation. This is like driving in 2nd gear when you should be in 5th. Stop it.

Whenever your mind wanders to doubt, catch it, and switch back to I AM.

7

This is where you will see miracles occur. Jesus said “greater things will you do than I” and it happens when you make that leap into God consciousness, into certainty, into happiness.

“How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today, and take our stand with certainty of purpose, and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill, and have been given everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way. For we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed away by realizing that they were but mistakes.”
