Affirmation gods

Every line that we say out loud will get registered in the universe. Every time we say the line, it will get registered. The more times a line is registered with the universe, the more compelling the universe will feel to act on the line. So it is very important for us to watch what we speak out loud. In our childhood days, our parents and grand parents used to call that phenomenon affirmation gods. They used to say that the primary and the only responsibility of these affirmation gods is to keep listening to what you say out loud and grant whatever you ask for. So now the responsibility lies with us that we have to be careful while asking. 

These apply to every line that we say every single day. We keep hearing these lines frequently from kids or adults. "Leave me alone", "I want some me time", "Go away", "I don't want to talk about it" etc etc. Now-a-days, for people these may not seem like a big deal, but we may not realize the impact of these lines while we are saying. They are getting registered

Sometimes I feel that if every kid in the world stops saying the line "leave me alone" there wouldn't have been that many divorces happening in the world. Or if every adult stops saying, I want some me time, may be we wouldn't have got a pandemic like covid which is a complete "me" time. Or if people stops saying "I don't want to talk about it", may be everybody would have been blessed with good friends. They wouldn't have to take the help of external stimulants to feel better in difficult situations. If you notice, every small line that we say has an effect that we may not immediately realize. Let's take another example, if somebody asks how are you and in response we say "fine" or "going on", or some mediocre answer. We have to remember that it's getting registered that many times. Eventually your day/life will become mediocre. But if we say "excellent", "going very well" etc the same thing will get registered and eventually your life will improve if it's not already excellent.

When I was kid, a small boy used to come to our house. He used to say that he always wanted to keep his mouth clean. He wouldn't even say one line that has a negative affirmation. He was very reluctant to even say slightly bad words like idiot. He used to tell that instead of saying that word just explain what the other person did wrong in a polite way and what they can do to fix it. 

Let us all cultivate the habit of speaking nice things out loud and contribute to the greater good of the world
