Journal: I AM

Sharing another journal page.
I don't know if this one is done yet...but it is for now.
Inspired by my spiritual mentor, John.

Who suggests the antidote for negative self-talk
(like I'm not an artist, I'm not good at anything, I'm not...)

is to say two little words
I AM. 

With the emphasis on 'AM '

And it works. 

I feel like a rebellious four year old when I'm saying it

And I like rebellion.

I AM

I AM anything I want to be

I AM the water, the sun, the wind, the earth

I AM...because I allow myself to be

The words "I am" are potent words;

be careful what you hitch them to.  

The thing you're claiming 

has a way of reaching back and claiming you.
