Introduction
The power of Affirmations
Today is a new day. Today is a day for you to begin creating a joyous, fulfilling life.
Today is the day to begin release all your limitations. Today is the day for you to learn the secrets
of life. You can change your life for the better. You already have the tools within you to do so.
These tools are your thoughts and your beliefs. In this book, I will teach you how to use these
tools to improve the quality of your life.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the benefits of positive affirmations, I'd like to
explain a little about them. An affirmation is really anything you say or think. However a lot of
what we normally say and think is quite negative and doesn't create good experiences for us. We
have to retrain our thinking and speaking into positive patterns if we want to change our lives.
An affirmation opens the door. It's a beginning point on the path to change. In essence,
you're saying to your subconscious mind: "I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is
something I can do to change." When I talk about doing affirmations, I mean consciously
choosing words that will either help eliminate something from your life or help create something
new in your life.
Every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation. All of our self-talk,
our internal dialogue, is a stream of affirmations. You're using affirmations every moment
whether you know it or not. You're affirming and creating your life experiences with every word
and thought.
Your beliefs are merely habitual thinking patterns that you learned as a child. Many of
them work very well for you. Other beliefs may be limiting your ability to create the very things
you say you want. What you want and what you believe you deserve may be very different. You
need to pay attention to your thoughts so that you can begin to eliminate the ones creating
experiences you do not want in your life.
Please realize that every complaint is an affirmation of something you think you don't
want in your life. Every time you get angry, you're affirming that you want more anger in your
life. Every time you feel like a victim, you're affirming that you want to continue to feel like a
victim. If you fell that life isn't giving you what you want in your world, then it's certain that you
will never have the goodies that Life gives to others - that is, until you change the way you think
and talk.
You're not a bad person for thinking the way you do. You've just never learned how to
think and talk. People throughout the world are just now beginning to learn that our thoughts
create our experiences. Your parents probably didn't know this, so they couldn't possibly teach it
to you. They taught you how to look at life in the way that their parents taught them. So nobody is
