Affirmation....affirmation...AFFIRMING PURPOSE

It is not that affirmations make things positive... Or do they?
It is not that being positive makes things positive... Or does it?

From Reb Nachman  of Bratslav:
One affirmation:
I believe I am very important in the eyes of G-d.
I believe I can return no matter how far I have strayed.
I believe I have in the inner strength to change.
I believe I can become truly devoted and close to G-d.

A second affirmation.... a set:
“When asked how things are and, despite hardships or suffering you answer “Good” then G-d says, “You call this good? I’ll show you what good really is!”
“When asked how things are, don’t whine and grumble about hardships. If you answer “Lousy” then G-d says, “You call this bad? I’ll show you what bad really is!”

SO -- both the affirmations above make sense to me.... G-d is most important AND G-d teaches... in a variety of ways... AND what we do, how we feel as we behave.... makes a difference. WE THE PEOPLE of this Creation!... establish the feelings and nature of this Creation. The feelings of creation is our purpose!!
