TERRI: Have you ever walked into someone's house and you could
just tell there had been a fight. I mean, you didn't hear
any yelling. You didn't see the dishes flying, but there was
this, this, I'm easy, awkward presence in the atmosphere. What
is your first reaction? Get Out of there, right? Well, what
caused that feeling? Like what made the atmosphere so uneasy?
TERRI: Hey, I'm Terri Savelle Foy, your cheerleader of dreams.
You know, one of my favorite quotes of all time is this. The
secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. When I
changed my routine, it changed my whole life. Well, one of the
biggest keys I learned to change my routine was listening to
inspirational messages that point in my life in the right
direction. So I want to ask you to subscribe to this podcast so
you get constant inspiration and coaching to help you live your
dreams. In fact, today I want to give you my personal list of
positive affirmations to help you have a peace of mind no
matter what is going on around you. Now I'm going to show you
how to access that list in just a minute. But first, you know, I
was reading this study that I thought was so interesting. This
was done up in the Midwest and it was actually a study about
snow white and the seven drawfs. Now in this research,
they ask people, you know, do you know snow white and the
seven dwarfs? Then they asked him, can you name all seven?
Most of them could not name all seven, most could name one or
two. The most popular ones. Can you get to? They were, it was
grumpy and dopey. Now here's the sad thing. Nobody remembered
happy, nobody. What in the world? You know, they thought,
what is going on? Well, they spent all this money like I
think around $10 million on this research. Just proving the point
that we remember negative emotions more than positive
ones. We all know that. You know, we tend to remember cut
downs more than compliment. Yeah. I think about, you know,
being on Youtube and doing our podcast, of course, I've, I've
heard so many sweet, amazing compliments. They just melt my
heart. You know, Terri, I'm becoming more disciplined. I've
got my vision board, my dreams are happening. Or you know, you
Terri you're my cheerleader of dreams, you know, I hear this
sweetest things that just bless me so much and then all of a
sudden they will be one in there that says, Terri, your voice is
so annoying. Or your makeup is literally caked on. And I think,
well, I do like cake. But, but which one do you think stands
out? And you have to go, oh my gosh, stop thinking about that.
There's so many positive things. Stop dwelling on the negative
lines. Well, it's the same with life. You know, the truth is
when you magnify all the bad, like when you complain, you just
attract more to complain about. When you focus on what's going
right in your life, you're going to attract more positive
results. Well, you've probably heard me say, when you're
grateful, you attract more to be grateful for. When you magnify
what is happening in your life. You know, I think about how
years ago, four years ago when I launched this organization in
Rockwall, Texas from scratch, I invited my team to my house and
I said, you know, there was six of us. I said, if we focus on
all the things we don't have, like we don't have 100,000
partners supporting our vision, we don't have a thousand
partners. I said, we don't have computers, we don't have desks,
we don't have pins. I said, we would all think we're crazy for
stepping out and starting from scratch as an organization on
our own. I said, but let's look at what we do have, and I had
this list. I said, we do have some partners who believe in our
vision. We do have 15 speaking engagements coming up. We have a
new book that's at the printer. I said, we have six people who
are ready to roll up their sleeves and go after this dream.
Well on day one, when we started our, opened our offices out
here, I passed out these little posters to everybody at the
table and I said, let's just write down what we're grateful
for, and we started this big gratitude wall filled with post
it of every single thing we were magnifying. We were on purpose,
magnifying the good that God was doing. I'm telling you, it
changes the atmosphere. It causes you to get your mind off
of what's not happening and onto what is happening. And I believe
a grateful heart is a magnet for miracles. Well, not only that,
but God moves in an atmosphere of gratitude. Peace is released
when there's gratitude expressed. Here's the thing.
Notice we didn't just think about all we had to be grateful
for. No, we voiced it. We expressed it with our mouths.
See your words, create your environment. You know, I asked
our CFO the other day, I said, how much has our organization
grown in four years? Like can you show me a revenue growth?
Like percentage? He gave me the numbers and it showed revenue
growth is 463% since that tap, since that day, four years ago.
All I can say is thank you Jesus, but let me just say to
you, if you want to know where your life is headed, listen to
the words that are coming out of your mouth. You know, let me
just give you this example. Have you ever walked into someone's
house and you could just tell there had been a fight? I mean,
you didn't hear any yelling, you didn't see the dishes flying,
but there was this, this uneasy, awkward presence in the
atmosphere. What is your first reaction? Get Out of there,
right? Well, what caused that feeling? Like what made the
atmosphere so uneasy? It was words. Well, if words can create
chaos, they can also create peace. And I want you to start
speaking positive faith filled words that chart the course for
your life. Joel Osteen says, don't your words to just
describe your life. Use your words to change your life. So if
you want peace, speak it out. Just like Jesus spoke to the
storm. He said, peace be still. You gotta voice your bold faith.
You know I think about in acts chapter 27 we see the story of
Paul on a ship where they encounter these hurricane like
storms and the other people on board. They are freaking out.
They're terrified. They're convinced they're not going to
survive. While the storm was severe, it was frightening. It
was death-defying, right? In the midst of this horrific
turbulence, Paul speaks up and declares, or you can say, he
voiced his own pep talk, right? Whether they wanted to hear it
or not. It says in acts 27 he said, be of good cheer for I
believe God. That's both faith right there, isn't it? How could
Paul say such a thing? He had so much unwavering confidence in
God's word, but he refused to believe anything but God's
promises to us. Well, you might say, well, what are his
promises? Well, Hebrews actually says, and I love this scripture.
It says, I will not. I will not. I will not leave you in any way
helpless. Now think about that. When God gives. He says some
them once. He means it. When he says something three times, he's
trying to get our attention. So if you really believe God's
word, then declare it. And this is such a lesson for us. When
outward appearances look contrary to the dreams that are
on your vision board, or when your circumstances are tragic,
they're trying, they're draining you of emotional strength.
That's when you need to declare it with even more fervency like
speak it out. Now remember, Paul didn't just think it, he spoke
it and his words, they brought comfort, confidence, and
courage. Your words will do the same thing when you speak them
out into the atmosphere. So you can literally change the
environment in your life with your very own words. One of the
most powerful things you can do is hear yourself declare the
Word of God out loud. Remember, your ears need to hear what your
mouth is. Professing. Let me close out with this scripture.
It's in Second Corinthians and it just says, it is written, I
believed therefore, have I spoken. So with that same Spirit
of faith, we believe that we also have to speak. So I want
you to get my personal list of positive affirmations to help
you change the atmosphere and fill your mind, fill your
home, and fill your life with peace. In fact, today I want to
recognize our subscriber of the week. This week we have someone
called how to be healed TV. I like that. This is what they
write. Vision boards are so important. I agree. I says, I
use the Vision Board to help me go on vacation with almost all
expenses paid. is that awesome. it says, I got a
new job, the exact apartment I wanted in
the city that I wanted to move to. And then it
says Habakkuk 2:2 and the Lord answered me and said,
write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may
run that reads it for the vision is yet for an appointed time.
But at the end it will speak and not lie. And they've got the
whole scripture here though. It tarries wait for it, but it will
surely come. It will not tarry. I love that scripture and how to
be healed TV. I'm so happy for you because you are seeing God's
work at work in your life. He's word at work in your life. You
are seeing your vision boards come to life. So thank you for
taking the time to write in and just remember, I want you to
