I have unlimited power

This will be a very short post because it only takes a second or two to debunk it.

There are affirmations that speak to truth, and there are some that are sort of true in a sense. There are other affirmations that are wacky and defy interpreting.

Then, there are affirmations that are downright lies. This is one of those affirmations.

Only the Creator has unlimited power. Only He is God, and you are not.

No matter how many times you psych yourself with the psychobabble of this affirmation, you will never have unlimited power. You were not born with it, you cannot develop it, you cannot “access” it, and you will never find it. Unlimited power does not exist among created beings and it never will.

No rational person thinks superhero movies are real, and those characters aren’t even gods. Do you have any power remotely close to any Marvel character?

If you really do find joy in everything you do, why do you need to remind yourself to find joy in everything you do? Do you honestly need to be conscious of whether you are finding joy or not? Like many affirmations, I’m not sure whether the owner actually does what the affirmation says, or is just trying to convince herself. Or maybe she’s counting on the concept of neuroplasticity...

But most of us don’t have to think about it consciously. It’s something we naturally want. We don’t normally feel the need to include it in any affirmation ritual we go through each day. Saying “My child is...

Is this supposed to be motivational? Philosophical? I have no idea whatsoever what this affirmation means. I believe that when people run out of affirmations to package and sell, they think up more stuff, the kind of stuff that that makes no sense to most people in a rational world. I used to go up to family members and say this: Wherever you go, there you'll be. Said family members would look at...

Most of us are far more driven by the opinions of others than we realize. I’ve known many so-called “independent thinkers” in my time who ended up showing they were no more independent in their thinking nor in their conduct than the rest of the sheeple around them. Wanna take a quick little test to see how different you dare to be? Here we go… Did you wear a face diaper...
