Simply put, it is this:

"Confession of belief yields receipt of confession."

Doesn't look like much, does it? Just seven simple words;
And yet, if you understand the principle behind the words
and put it into practice, "mountains can be moved".

Whenever I share this phrase with anyone, they generally
say something like... "What was that again?"

Let me explain.

The word "confess" really means "to tell", and from the time
we were all "infants in arms", someone has been telling us
what, when, how, where and with whom to live our lives, in
one fashion or another.

In fact, we've become so accustomed to being told what to
do, that we have often "continued the dialog internally".

We are constantly "telling" ourselves what we believe to be
true about ourselves, both good and bad.

Have you ever seen the poster "If...." by Dorothy Law Nolte?
It starts out...

If a child lives with criticism, He learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, He learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, He learns to be shy.

and ends up with...

If a child lives with security, He learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, He learns
to find love in the world.

While the teachings of childhood may seem to be a distant
memory, the things that we have been taught to believe
about ourselves remain locked into our subconscious and
become our own "internal dialog" until we replace them with
something else.

Have you ever been "goaded" into doing something that you
had never done before? At first, you may have been tempted
to say "Oh, I can't do that. I've never done that before.
I wouldn't know where to start."

Once you decided to change your mind though, and began to
"confess" the positive, chances are you were successful.

Regardless of what we were taught to believe about ourselves
in childhood and beyond, we can't change the past. But we
can begin to replace any negative or limiting beliefs about
ourselves with positive "confessions".

There's an old saying; "If you think you can or if you think
you can't, you're right!"

Words are powerful. Words can be used to:

Start a war or work toward peace.
Pass judgement or urge on to greatness.
Criticize past behavior or look to the future.
Keep at a distance or make a new friend.
Remain in poverty or acquire new wealth.
Recall the past or learn new things.
Discourage others or reward their efforts.
Put to sleep or motivate to action.
Acknowledge fatigue or build new energy.
Accept failure or inspire success.

What are you telling yourself now? I believe that when we
choose to "tell ourselves" positive words of success and
encouragement, we can overcome limitations and go on to
reach our goals, whatever they may be.

Instead of saying to yourself, "Oh, I can't do that. I've
never done that before. I wouldn't know where to start",
how about saying "I can do this. This looks easy. Show me
where to start."

Remember...

"Confession of belief yields receipt of confession."

Begin today, by telling yourself whatever it is that you
need to hear, so that you can go on to receive the things
that you want and need.
