I know what I'm saying is going to seem far fetched but let me explain. I recently lived these exact words: “No matter what happens today, it will be a good day. I will be shaken but not uprooted and everything will work itself out.” With that, I start my day.

I’m working on a podcast to promote sexual education for the African youth and I was set to record my first set of episodes. I did my research on studios, called them up and settled on one that was near my house. It was not only fully equipped but had experience in broadcasting podcasts. The day to record came, but sadly it was snowing and I had to reevaluate the situation: do I really want to get the team out or can I push it? Mind you, I had to deliver something to my partner that day. So I chose to push the recording day to a later date. Next recording day comes and I’m so excited. My producer and I get to the studio only to find out our sound engineer is late, the file needs to be converted, and I’m computer-less. Thirty minutes, another thirty minutes and an hour later, still no one. At this point, I'm like: "What is this is madness? They are never getting my business again." But boy, was I about to eat my own words. As soon as the engineer showed up we clicked and made the process such a great experience. I was relaxed and we were able to record three episodes. The engineer was so patient and an overall awesome person. We joked between takes and he would give us advice on how we can improve the podcast.

It was truly beautiful to a crazy and rocky start. When I was in the car I realized that everything I said this morning came true. At the end of the day, it was a great experience and although I was tested, I did not give up. When you believe and put all your trust into the universe everything will work itself out.

Now, my example was simple but I've read stories on people who spoke dream jobs, spouses, healing and children into existence. What all these testimonies have in common is faith and perseverance. It’s easy to dismiss this message and be pessimistic, but this is where faith comes in. Proclaim what you want to happen and believe it will come true. Whether it be today, tomorrow or in years. Your faith will constantly be challenged. I mean, it's human to get tired of waiting for something, especially something that you’re not even sure will to manifest itself. This is where the perseverance comes in. Persevere in your faith and keep believing. When it gets hard, remember why you wanted that wish in the first place. This will help keep you grounded and keep moving forward.

I urge us to live in the present and proclaim how we want our life to go. We have the power to determine what kind of life we want to have.

Speak into existence your success.
