            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*suL8isyqhOAk1mMRT6fY6A.jpeg" /></figure><p>Award Winning Speech</p><p><strong>I Am</strong></p><p>I am; two of the most powerful words in the English vocabulary.</p><p>“I” being derived from a source of singularity that encompasses one of the most powerful and intimate sources of self-acknowledgement.</p><p>“Am”, following ever so closely to the word I, side by side as a sidekick that ensures that together, both words will act as a statement that embodies strength, assertion, and purpose.</p><p>Any word that you place after these two singular acknowledgements will be sent immediately throughout your entire being as a. proclamation that acts as a declaration of truth. I’m</p><p>No other words, when used together, impact your consciousness more than this pair of utter expression.</p><p>It is because of these words that you can gain access to the gates of manifestation.</p><p>It is because of these words that you can now channel your belief systems through a funnel of abundance.</p><p>It is because of these words that you can now affirm to yourself that in every day, and in every way, you are getting better and better. Because truly, you are.</p><p>You’ve demonstrated your willpower. You’ve dreamt dreams and made them real. You’ve believed in love, and love has responded.</p><p>You can now say,</p><p>I am powerful.</p><p>I am worthy of abundance.</p><p>I am determined to succeed.</p><p>I am full of joy.</p><p>I am of service.</p><p>Yes, of course, well if you said it, then you’ve made it to be true.</p><p>Living with the belief that inspires the action taken after saying the words “I Am” is one of the most fundamental triggers to having integrity. It’s easy to say I Am, and sure anyone can do it.</p><p>But ask yourself, “am I committed to living a purpose driven life that is in alignment with my hearts greatest intentions?”</p><p>You see, there is a plan that has been mapped out for you through a divine source of information that has been accumulated by your life’s experiences. This map was created through an amassment of lives lived by you in previous past times.</p><p>As said in David Gikandi’s book, Happy Pocket Full of Money, “we create our present moments as a pre-sent moment of our past thoughts. This gives us the opportunity to see ourselves as we were before, and to grow to an even greater SELF.”</p><p>It is your responsibility to use your time wisely. It is your responsibility to think thoughts that serve you, so that you can accumulate moments of joy in your life and inspire others to be in awe of your glory.</p><p>Through your own joy, you will influence them to explore the possibility of joy within themselves and thus, without any resisted effort, provide them with a sensational preview that encourages others to release themselves from misery and anguish, so that they can step into the frequency of love and surrender themselves to the thoughts, feelings, and actions that lift their spirits to levels of exuberance that will ultimately plant seeds of prosperity in their minds.</p><p>These are your gifts. This is your privilege. This is your doing.</p><p>As you’re listening to this, repeat after me.</p><p>These can now be your words, your beliefs, and your affirmations.</p><p>Be proud as you say this , be bold as you say this, and be courageous.</p><p>Disregard any sense of formal education that you think that you may need, and focus only on a desire to create a customized lifestyle that is fuelled by love, passion, and of course, clarity of purpose.</p><p>As the days go by, you will notice that you’re. manifesting your dream life, your dream partner, and your dream job. This is it!</p><p>If there was anyone that can be acknowledged as a source of pure purpose, you are it.</p><p>Say it.</p><p>Say:</p><p>I am it!</p><p>I am living on purpose!</p><p>I am love, light, and abundance.</p><p>I am the creator of my life’s moments.</p><p>I am educated, inspired, and driven.</p><p>I am a success!</p><p>But don’t just say it. Feel it! Chin up, chest out, arms to the sky.</p><p>With a gleaming smile on your face say these words with conviction. Spread your arms wide and soar through the sky as your imagination takes you to all the places that you’ve wished to go.</p><p>The road has been paved for you, and your optimism is the energy that will keep you on track.</p><p>You have the formula to success. YOU HAVE THE FORMULA TO SUCCESS.</p><p>The energy has been invested, the faith has grown stronger, and your passion for creativity will reach its all time high.</p><p>You now have every reason to keep dreaming. YOU NOW HAVE EVERY REASON TO KEEP DREAMING!!!</p><p>You’ve created a life for yourself that has been inspired by the people, places, and things that have emotionally driven you, &amp; you are now on the journey towards sharing it with the world.</p><p>You may not even know it, but you are contributing to the human collective, and through your efforts to live your dreams, you are now inspiring others to get clear on their purpose.</p><p>Today is your day, now is your moment. Consider wherever you reside, the city of dreams, because it doesn’t matter where you live, what matters is how you live.</p><p>Through the practical use of your emotional intelligence and the habitual practice of thinking thoughts that are in alignment with your life’s greatest purpose, you will find that you attract like-minded energy towards you by being a person that knows what they want and why they want it.</p><p>As long as you’re consistently persisting, and activating you’re highest self by doing only that which you know brings you joy, you’ll find yourself in a position of pure power.</p><p>Power of self.</p><p>Power of purpose.</p><p>Power of emotions.</p><p>Power of influence</p><p>Power of dreams.</p><p>Whether you think you can or cannot, either way you’re right. – Henry Ford</p><p>Imagination is more important than knowledge. – Albert Einstein.</p><p>To be or not to be, that is the question. – Shakespeare</p><p>The two greatest days of your life, are the day you were born, and the day you find out why. – Mark Twain</p><p>Release yourself from the detrimental pains that cause you to suffer within your life’s experience.</p><p>Release yourself from the unconscious agony that you put yourself through when you sabotage your own greatness.</p><p>Release yourself from the conscious constraints that cause you to live with limiting beliefs.</p><p>You are not limited. You are universal. Use your heart to guide you towards the infinite power that exists within you.</p><p>You’re a miracle.</p><p>Live as one.</p><p><strong>Written and Performed</strong> <strong>by:</strong></p><p>2x Public Speaking Champion</p><p><strong>Marcos Mendosa</strong></p><p>Facebook: @ShiversandTears</p><p>Twitter: @soundtrackofurlife</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=a9858ba5049f" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s never a good time to stop loving. Never. It’s imperative that you mentally capture the moments that you refuse to let go of and carry them with powerful meanings that remind you of memories that you’ve shared, lived through, and vividly experienced. You owe that much to yourself. You see, you deserve nothing but an abundance of love in your life, and through that love that you open yourself to receive from your memories, you can share those feelings with others. Do it! Love IMMENSELY! Cry joyfully and with purpose. Shed tears of inspiration and accomplishment gladly.</p><p>Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT ever give up on humanity. All that you are and all that you’ve learned has been a cultivation of lessons and experiences that you have learned from others human beings that share the same challenges, the same conflicts, and the same emotions that you do. Like attracts like. Your purpose is driven by the moments that are filled with love. That’s why when you resonate at a vibration of goodness it feels so so soooo good. Your love is more powerful than fear, more powerful than hate, and more powerful than despair. You are built to feel. You are built to share. You are built to receive. The world speaks about the power of now; this present moment is described synonymously to the word “gift”. That’s because we’ve created a meaning to the word gift that is in alignment with the act of allowing ourselves to receive.</p><p>This moment in time is in direct alignment with where you are intended to be. Your power as a human being has been given to you to create more moments of abundance. All human beings are made of the same miraculous elements and by becoming conscious of our emotions, we can then transform bad feeling thoughts into good feeling thoughts and influence others to become extraordinary! You see people need people! Rather than living with shame, doubt, anger, worry, fear, and anxiety, shift your thoughts to willingly experience positive emotions that are derived from happy memories, joyful expressions, abundant moments, and authentic pride that comes from feeling whole and complete with your efforts, or maybe even someone that you care about.</p><p>We live in a world where harmony and purpose are at the forefront of our deepest intentions, but yet because we all tend to feel a sense lack, a sense of scarcity, and a sense of not being good enough, we turn our attentions to the energetic vampires that feed our egos, deplete our souls, and temporarily make us believe that there is a better way to feel complete; rather than loved. It’s all a trick. It’s manipulation of the mind, body, and spirit, Don’t give in to all that bullshit. You are built to inspire and transform others to become the better versions of themselves. Your service of giving others goodness will authentically be reciprocated right back at you, not because you expect it, but because it is law! It is meant to be. You are meant to be. You are no accident. Nothing is an accident. Everything happens as it is intended to.</p><p>Whether you attach a good meaning, a bad meaning, or an inexplicable meaning, all things are in alignment with intention. Every act, every sight, every moment, every sound, every scent, every premonition, everything happens out of intention and possibility. It is not up to you to decide whether or not you accept the way life is; but it is up to you to decide how you choose to contribute. Every action will have a positive or a negative consequence. Own up to your decisions and strive for the courage to pursue your passions. Take care of one another and be brave, be bold, be brilliant, and be beautiful. Give each other shelter when needed; don’t scoff at those that have less than you. Help one another and give relentlessly whatever you can. The world has been created so that we can experience what it’s like to be alive. Our planet has given us that right, that gift, and that purpose. Make a decision now; decide to live your life with an open heart filled with the intention to deliver goodness to others.</p><p>The bad circumstances that we are all aware of as a collective don’t make us miserable and defeated; instead they bring us closer together! Corrupt minds have kept us brainwashed for decades, but not any longer. We are now living in an age where having a conscious mind is cooler than being fake and closed off to our senses. Our higher selves have always been available for communication, all we had to do was allow it to be communicated with. That allowance is now present. We’ve had enough of the tricks and deception. We now aspire for greatness and peace. The world knows this. We are now only hours away from each other and we as humans have proven that nothing is impossible when we work together with the intention to create a harmonious purpose; goals.</p><p>So I now challenge you to go live your life brilliantly, bold, beautifully, and brave. Go be spectacular. Why?? Because you deserve it……</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=f6c09eda06ea" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
