God has given us two words: “I am.” What we say after “I am” says who we are and what we are about.

If we say “I am hungry”, that implies a need for food.

If we say “I am angry,” that implies a belief in two powers.

If we say, “ I am sorry”, that implies a state of repentance.

But keep in mind that we are mechanical in our speech and habits.

Waking up is about being in a state of awareness as often as possible.

Words can be either empty or full.

Today, try and remember what you say after “I am.” It can change your life for better or for worse. Yes, you marry your words with your state of mind.

It is good to say “I am confused.” God knows that about us.

I wake up confused and I go to bed confused. To admit that is a state of grace!

Grace comes, not when all of our ducks are in a row, but when we are quacking up!
