Who Put That Label On You?

Everything you buy has a label which is there to reveal the ingredients of the product, what it is, is for and can do. A label can also warn you of the product's limitations and always has a disclaimer of some kind.

Every label has one main thing in common. Whether it be a written label glued to a product or a verbal label announced by the advertiser on TV or the Radio, all labels are made up of WORDS.

A label that is glued or tied to any product or announced in relation to a product reveals the identity of the product.

While a label is designed for a product or service package, all too many times labels are also placed on human beings.

You may have received a nickname from family members, school companions or work associates. That nickname may be a positive one, great!

But what if the label is a negative one? It may have been given to you in fun or perhaps out of spite. It really does not matter what the motive was, a negative label is a negative one!

Your "label" may not even be an actual word or phrase. It may be an "understood label".

How does this work? You will soon know.
As soon as a negative comment is made in conversation, there is laughter and someone pipes up: Yes, like ..... (your name here). You are being labeled as someone who is associated with this negative situation.

For example: Perhaps you went through a period in life where you suffered a serious of accidents. They may have been minor (hopefully), but nevertheless those close to you began to associate accidents with you.

Comments like, "if an accident happens, guess who will be involved?" (They are referring to you.) Or worse still you may end up with a label such as: "The accident king or the accident queen"

Of course they may not really mean it, and they CERTAINLY don't want accidents to happen to you, but nevertheless they used their words to LABEL YOU.

You need to rip this label OFF of your life. How?

• Openly declare: I refuse to accept this label on my life. I am a champion and I only accept positive affirmations.
• Speak positive words to yourself and to others about yourself and about them. (What you sow you do reap).
• If you have people in your life who are always negative you need to stop associating with them.

Above all:

Fill your mind and your life with positive words
that build your faith and challenge you!
