One of the most perpetuated lies of the 21st century is the mantra “be your best self.” Self-help and power of positive thinking has corrupted many in my generation, in the generation before, and—unfortunately—in the generation to come. The heart of this teaching is creative power that is in you can be released in words to create a better you. John MacArthur describes it as “words with supernatural energy to literally create the world you want.” This teaching draws on Eastern, pagan, religious beliefs, specifically the “law of attraction,” which, according to Wikipedia, holds that “positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person’s life.”
