In Glennon Doyle’s book, Untamed, she tells a story about her and her wife imagining themselves on a dock at their home, enjoying cups of coffee, leaning on each other, with nowhere to be but together. Because they had “hundreds of miles and a million obstacles keeping us apart” they visualized. Told themselves the story over and over again. Counted on it and believed it, until it came true.
As Glennon goes on to say, “we imagined this life before it existed and then we each gave up everything for the one-in-a-million chance that we might be able to build it together. We did not fall into this world we have now, we made it.”
👆This is how affirmations work. Affirmations are written in present-tense starting with I am, because before they become real, we have to visualize, re-tell, imagine, and then make it.
We do not fall into a world where we are consistently confident business owners, we make it.
We do not fall into a world where BIWOC get equity and justice, we make it.
We do not fall into a world where our businesses make our hearts sing every month, we make it.
We do not fall into a world where women close the pay gap, we make it.
I invite you to imagine the world we want, so that we can make it real with our actions.
