My Kind of Writing -- "Repetitive Affirmation Creates Belief" - by Alex Brogan

 


Repetitive Affirmation creates belief. Beliefs become conviction. Then things begin to happen.

Most people wait. They’re passive observers of their own lives. They think beliefs just happen to them. They don’t.

Your beliefs are not random. They’re deliberately constructed. Either by you or by others. The person who controls your affirmations controls your future.

Look at the most successfull people. They didn’t stumble into conviction. They hammered it into existence through daily ritual. They said the same things to themselves over and over until the impossible became inevitable.

The average person’s mind is a battlefield of conflicting affirmations. One day they’re worthy. The next they’re not. One day then can. The next they can’t. This mental chaos produces exactly what you’d expect — nothing.

Conviction isn’t born from variety. It’s born from repetition. The same words. The same thoughts. The same images. Day after day after day.

Most people’s self-talk sounds like this: “I hope this works.” “Maybe I can.” “Let’s see what happens.” This is the language of the spectator, not the participant.

The conviction-builder speaks differently. “This will work.” “I can.” “This is happening.” — Simple, direct, absolute. No hedging. No escape hatches.

The most dangerous affirmation is the one you don’t know you’re making. The unconscious one. The one that runs in the backround while you sleep. These are the affirmations installed by others that you never chose.

Your job isn’t just to create new affirmations. It’s to find and destroy the old one’s. The ones sabotaging you silently.

Most people try positive thinking for a day. Then quit when the universe doesn’t instantly rearrange itself. This isn’t magic — it’s agriculture. You plant. You water. You wait. You harvest.

The gap between affirmation and manifestation is filled with one thing: persistent action. Belief without action is fantasy. Action without belief is drudgery. Together, they’re unstoppable.
