In the first chapter of John's Gospel we read, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God and without Him was not any thing made that was made." What does that mean? How are you god? With every single word. My name, LaMotta, means 'the word'! Do I speak the words that reflect the divine pattern? What is it that my words are empowering? Am I empowering sickness and disease? Am I empowering lack and limitation by talking about it and claiming it? Whatever I say, I am claiming it is so. I used to give scholarships to my classes all the time. And you know why I gave scholarships?

Because I didn't think some people could afford to come to class. Do you want someone thinking that about you? I thought I was doing it out of the generosity of my heart, and I was, but I had a sense that "This person won't be able to afford this". That's not the consciousness you want someone holding for you. No longer! Think about what we do to one another. Oh, this person can't do that, so I better help them. How do we view one another? Never say anything about yourself or anyone else that you don't want to see realized in life.

Imagine that a Dictaphone was strapped on your shoulders the first thing tomorrow morning and you carried it with you all day until the last thing tomorrow night and it recorded every word you said and then was repeated to you. You might be a little embarrassed, and more than that those words are creating your life. Never forget that the circumstances of your life tomorrow are molded by your mental conduct of today. Using this power is about speaking the word for your desires. Talk about what you want, not what you don't want. The Law of Attraction teaches this clearly. We become what we speak about on a consistent basis.

It's an easy phrase to say, but a challenge sometimes to live. We more often talk about what isn't. Let's not focus on the goals we can't have or don't think are possible. Sometimes deep down we are setting goals, knowing that we set them before and they just haven't worked. Well, I'm going to try one more time. This time I'm going to make it. And the reason we don't make it is because we are focused on what we don't have. And every time you focus on a goal, even one that looks good, you are focused on something that isn't in your life.

So you are creating more of what isn't. So we want to focus more on the quality we want to experience and the more we focus on the quality, the more change we'll see. You start focusing on power, watch yourself manifest. Watch everything start happening as you say, rather than focusing on what's not there. Our words really have power for ourselves and they have power for another. Let me tell you a story.

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. (Anyone have frog friends like that?).

Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time!
