I'm The Boldest, The Prettiest; I Am The Greatest
Before Iyanla Vanzant and Oprah told us the importance of affirmations, Muhammad Ali was showing us the way to speak life into our dreams. He proclaimed to himself and the world daily, that he was the greatest.
According to New Thought and New Age thinking, you have to believe- even when no one else believes or sees. As long as you can see it, it must come forth.
The universe must respond to what you tell it. I am the Greatest! I am the Greatest! So, not only are you certain of it, but the world and your opponents are as well. You have now consistently spouted that there is no one greater than you. Therefore, you must become the Champion of the world. Long before it was made manifest, you believed it, repeated it will feeling and passion and you saw it in your mind and kept this image in the forefront of your thoughts. It must then show up in your present life. Keep affirming, keep having faith and keep working toward what you believe is already yours.
