Speak It Into Existence

Speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. Sounds simple, right? That’s because it is. Whatever your dreams and aspirations may be, speak them into the universe, and I promise it’ll listen.

You ever notice when you randomly speak of someone and then they all of a sudden appear in some form or fashion? That is because you spoke them up. The same goes for everything else, big or small. You want to have a super great day? Wake up in the morning and say it aloud to yourself. I guarantee your day will go much better. You want to land a really awesome internship next summer? Tell yourself every single day, several times a day, and it will be bound to happen. I live by this motto -- speaking things into existence -- and it has worked so many wonders in my life.

I learned that when you speak in a certain way, invoking your wants and needs, the universe listens. One prime example of this was during my time in high school. Ever since my freshman year, I had always said, “I am going to Spelman College.” At that age, I really had no idea what it took to get into college, but I was certain that I was going to go and it was going to be at Spelman. Senior year rolled around and just about the whole school knew where I wanted to go. I put that statement out into the universe for years and, sure enough, applying early decision, I was accepted and am now attending Spelman College. I spoke my dream into existence.

Spring semester of my sophomore year, I decided that I wanted to study abroad in England at Goldsmiths, University of London. Every day I would tell myself or someone around me, “I’m going to London in the spring of 2016.” A lot of people did not believe me, but it did not matter because I believed in myself. Having recently completed the application and waited patiently for a response, I was officially accepted into the program and will be spending my spring semester of my junior year abroad.

Those are just a couple of the many remarkable things that have happened in my life because of my belief in speaking things into existence. If you want to hear of another extraordinary story about a man who spoke something incredible into his life, you can check it out here.

It’s an amazing feeling when you see your wants and needs turn into realities. Give it a try! Every day, speak something into the universe and watch the many wonders of it unfold.

In the words of the great JK Rowling,Words are the most inexhaustible source of magic we have. It is the power of the tongue that shapes our present and molds our future.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
