Parents convince their young children they have supernatural power - or at least try to…
“Eat your broccoli.”
“Why?”
“Because I Said So!”
“Clean your room.”
“Why?”
Because I Said So!!”
“Do your homework.”
“Why??”
“BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!”

Parents want to be omnipotent in their kids’ worlds. They want to speak their words into existence. They want the word to become law.
And sometimes it does. For some, obeying parents without any hestiation is based on fear.
And for others it’s based on complete dependence on the guidance of a mother or father, or both.
And sometimes it’s based on complete trust, love, honor and respect for the person who tells you what to do.

It can be easy or hard to speak your will into another person. Usually it’s impossible unless it’s a dependent child.
If it’s someone other than a dependent child, ask yourself if you really want that kind of power over another.

Now let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the matter…
How good are you at speaking YOUR OWN WORDS into existence?
It goes back to the authority and confidence you used when speaking your will into someone else. You had every expectation they would obey because you had a complete sense of control and power.
AND (my point)…if you have a sense of control and power over your own life, you find you can speak your own reality into existence.
“I will attract $20,000 into my checking account this week…because I said so.”
“I will manifest my best time ever running five miles…because I said so.”
“I will create the perfect vacation for my spouse and me, including a great experience for the kids (apart from us)…because I said so.”
There are people who do this as on an everyday basis. Some are famous - such as Donald Trump, Hugh Hefner, etc. Some are underground, quietly living the life of their dreams.
They have a partnership with the Universe. It’s as if they’re the parent and the forces around them have such love and regard, they arrange great things for them.
And there are many who have partially mastered this skill and have created wonderful life situations. They’re on their way to achieving that same relationship and having a ball in the process.
I’m one of those very people!

Where are you on the “Because I Said So” spectrum? Do you have the power to shape worlds? Do you have no influence on anyone or anything? Which end of the equation are you closer to?
And…are you interested in figuring out the process of making miracles in your own life…because YOU SAID SO???
Your Pal,
