said today that the best way west Mich-

endorsed. A motorcycle endorsement formed a surprise piece for the crowd

Mind Viruses
3M
Month
ont Memberships
e be s (Continued from last week)
Memes or mind viruses often contaminate our thinking and are spread to others.
8. No one will help me. The right circumstances and the right people are already here and will show up on time. There are always
great people looking for the opportunity that I have.
For 9. It has never been done before. I will attract all that I desire, here and now. I am creating something new and everyone loves it.
Only 10. I am not strong enough. I have access to unlimited assistance. My strength comes from my connection to my Source of being.
Adults
I am not my body. I have mental, emotional and spiritual strength to accomplish any task I desire.
11. I am not smart enough. I am a creation of the Divine mind. All is perfect and I am a genius in my own right. I am wise and exercise
perfect timing. Everything I touch turns to gold.
12. I am too old (or not old enough). I am an infinite being. The age of my body has no bearing on what I do or who I am. My
experience guides me and I learn easily to create a new future quickly. My youth and enthusiasm is my great asset.
For
13. The rules will not let me. I live my life according to divine rules. I function well within the rules of society, making adjustments
for my circumstances. There is always more than one way to do things.
ts
14. It is too big. I think only about what I can do now. By thinking small, I accomplish great things. I think in manageable pieces to
Only Studen
accomplish great things.
15. I do not have the energy. I feel passionately about my life, and this passion fills me with excitement and energy. I am filled with
nder vital energy every day.
18 & U 16. It is my personal family history. I live in the present moment by being grateful for all my life experiences as a child. I release all
events of the past and live fully in this present time. For as long as I can remember, I am in control of my body and my life.
17. I am too busy. As I unclutter my life, I free myself to answer the callings of the soul. I easily find the time for the beneficial things
in my life. I accomplish tasks quickly, easily, accurately, and efficiently.
18. I am too afraid. I can accomplish anything I put my mind to, because I know that I am never alone.
I release my past experiences and move forward with faith and enthusiasm, creating a new past that works
better for me.
Some of these may apply to you. There are many more. I hear them every day: Money doesn’t grow on
trees, it’s the economy, its George Bush, it’s Obama, it’s the bank, I am too fat, I am disabled, I am sick, I have
cancer, I am going to die anyway, I am not beautiful, I have a learning disability, I have ADD, I am too short,
My husband (wife) is an alcoholic, I am bored, I don’t care, I was abused, my mother hated me, I came from
a dysfunctional family, I did not finish school, and many more. For every one of these memes, I can show you
a person who successfully overcame it and has moved on to a better life. Remember, if any human being has
done something, anyone else can learn to do that also.
When you find a meme that applies to you, read the healing affirmation or create your own. Then every
single time you hear the old meme in your mind or from your mouth, cancel it, and plug in the new one.
CEDAR SPRINGS Within a short time you will be thinking and responding in a different way and life will be getting better.
