Last year around this time, I entered into a 21 day challenge reciting positive and inspirational affirmations, receiving one each day. Over the next 21 weeks, we will discuss each one, with the affirmation as the title.
I challenge you, now, into the New Year, to recite each affirmation daily for the week. The more you repeat with positivity and assurance, the better outcome you will have!
Week 9: “Today, And Always, I Give What I Want To Receive”.
This phrase is often used as a mantra or affirmation to remind ourselves of the power of our actions and intentions. It is based on the idea that what we put out into the world, we get back in return. This can be understood in different ways, such as:
The Law Of Attraction: One of the most powerful principles of the Law of Attraction is that we attract what we give out. This means that whatever we think, feel, say and do, we are sending out a vibration to the universe that matches our energy. The universe then responds by sending back to us experiences, people and situations that are in alignment with our vibration.
This principle can be summarized by the phrase “Today, and always, I give what I want to receive”. This phrase reminds us that we are the creators of our own reality, and that we have the power to manifest our desires by aligning ourselves with them. It also encourages us to be mindful of our thoughts, emotions, words and actions, and to choose them wisely.
For example, if we want to attract more love into our lives, we need to give more love to ourselves and others. If we want to attract more abundance, we need to give more gratitude and generosity. If we want to attract more joy, we need to give more happiness and fun. By giving what we want to receive, we are telling the universe that we are ready and worthy of receiving it.
However, this does not mean that we should give with the expectation of getting something in return. That would create a vibration of lack and attachment, which would block our manifestation. Instead, we should give from a place of abundance and detachment, knowing that the universe is abundant and will always provide for us. We should give because it feels good, not because we want something back.
The phrase “Today, and always, I give what I want to receive” also helps us to overcome any limiting beliefs or negative patterns that may be holding us back from our true potential. By affirming this phrase daily, we are reprogramming our subconscious mind to believe that we are worthy of receiving all the good things that life has to offer. We are also creating a positive feedback loop that reinforces our confidence and self-esteem.
The Golden Rule: “Today, and always, I give what I want to receive” is a simple but powerful reminder of the Golden Rule, which is the principle of treating others as you would like to be treated. The Golden Rule is found in many religions and cultures, and it is often considered a universal moral standard.
How can we apply it in our daily lives? Here are some benefits and tips for practicing this principle.
- Following the Golden Rule can help us build trust, respect, and empathy with others. When we treat others with kindness and fairness, we show them that we value them as human beings. This can foster positive relationships and reduce conflicts.
- Following the Golden Rule can also help us improve ourselves. When we give what we want to receive, we set high standards for our own behavior and actions. We also become more aware of how our words and deeds affect others, and how we can improve them.
- Following the Golden Rule can also make us happier. Studies have shown that helping others can boost our mood, self-esteem, and well-being. Giving what we want to receive can also create a positive feedback loop, where we receive more kindness and gratitude from others in return.
Here are some suggestions to practice the Golden Rule in our daily lives:
- Before you say or do something to someone else, ask yourself: “How would I feel if someone said or did this to me?” If the answer is negative, then don’t say or do it.
- Try to understand the perspective and feelings of others. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine what they are going through. This can help you empathize with them and treat them with compassion.
- Be generous and helpful to others. Offer your time, skills, or resources to those who need them. Share your knowledge, experience, or advice with those who seek them. Give compliments, encouragement, or feedback to those who deserve them.
- Be respectful and courteous to others. Follow the social norms and etiquette of different situations. Say “please”, “thank you”, “sorry”, and “excuse me” when appropriate. Listen attentively and patiently when someone is talking to you. Don’t interrupt, judge, or criticize them.
- Be honest and fair to others. Don’t lie, cheat, steal, or harm anyone. Don’t take advantage of anyone’s trust or vulnerability. Don’t gossip, spread rumors, or slander anyone. Don’t discriminate, exclude, or bully anyone.
The Karma Principle: The Karma Principle is a universal law that states that every action has a consequence, and that what we do to others will come back to us in some form. The phrase “Today, and always, I give what I want to receive” is a way of applying this principle to our daily lives, by being mindful of how our words and deeds affect ourselves and others.
By giving what we want to receive, we are creating a positive cycle of energy that attracts more of the same. For example, if we want to receive love, we should give love to others. If we want to receive respect, we should respect others. If we want to receive happiness, we should share happiness with others. By doing so, we are not only making others feel good, but also ourselves, as we align with our true nature and purpose.
However, giving what we want to receive does not mean that we should expect or demand anything in return. The Karma Principle works in mysterious ways, and sometimes the results are not immediate or obvious. We should give without attachment, trusting that the universe will balance everything out in the end. We should also be aware that giving what we want to receive does not guarantee that we will never face challenges or difficulties in life. The Karma Principle is not a reward or punishment system, but a natural law that reflects our choices and actions.
The phrase “Today, and always, I give what I want to receive” is not a magic formula that will make all our problems disappear, but a reminder that we have the power to create our own reality with our thoughts, words and deeds. By giving what we want to receive, we are not only improving our own lives, but also contributing to the well-being of others and the world.
These are some of the ways to interpret the phrase “Today, and always, I give what I want to receive”. Regardless of which one resonates with you, the main message is that we have the power to shape our reality with our thoughts, words, and deeds. We can align ourselves with our true desires and attract them effortlessly. We can also create more harmony, peace, and happiness in ourselves and in the world around us. We can improve our relationships with others, but also ourselves and our happiness. By being mindful of what we give, we can also influence what we receive.
See you next week!
