Rich

“Life begets life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.” ~ Sarah Bernherdt 

Abundance comes to those that think about money in a healthy way. If you worry about debt then you are living in the past. Don’t ignore it and don’t beat yourself up with how you got there.  Instead, focus on what you can create to fill your life and amazingly, you will fill your wallet, too.

Affirmation: “I will make money by pursuing my dreams.”

Choose happiness

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." ~ Riki Lynn Tull

It is not easy to control your thoughts and attitude.  It takes practice to get it right.  If you remind yourself daily that you are the only one that has the power to make yourself happy - then you will see it happen.  Constant water carves out rivers, gorges and the Grand Canyon.  Small happy thoughts everyday will make a difference.  Give it a try.  Otherwise, let others and other events control you and your destiny.  What do you have to lose?

Affirmation: "I have the power to control my thoughts and change my attitude no matter what happens to me."

Change

“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” George Bernard Shaw

So many want to do better, be better, do different, be different – however, until you change your thought processes and beliefs, you will always end up in the same place you were before. The mind is so powerful, it can trick you. The last thing your brain wants you to do is change because that might mean you’ve been wrong. Just because you did something different and it didn’t work, it doesn’t make it wrong. 

It’s time – it’s time to change your mind.

Affirmation: “I will change my thoughts and beliefs so that I can be what I aspire to be.”

Support

“Here is the basic rule for winning success. Let's mark it in the mind and remember it. The rule is: Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be in is the support of other people.” - David Joseph Schwartz

All sports teams have their fans! Who are your fans? Are you constantly surrounding yourself with people that want to hold you back or people who cheer you on? The winning sport team is the one with all the fans yelling and cheering them on…even when they are down. It may not be your partner or your family or even friends but there is support our there for you. Your fans are the support you need when you are succeeding and when you are struggling. Find them – you need them.

Affirmation – say: “I will find support of people who believe in me and my goals.”

Help

“Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it.” -- W. Clement Stone

Many of us are too proud to ask for help. Or maybe it’s just not in our personality. Also, it’s possible we want those to pay better attention to our struggles and help us. Guess what? Not everyone is that in tune to you. Not everyone can read your mind or is focused on what you might need.

People want to help you! I promise. They just need to be asked.

Affirmation -- Say: I will ask for help when I need it.

Your Gift

The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away ~ Joy J. Golliver 

If you have discovered your life passion, yet you do not share, then you are not living your life purpose. As a matter of fact, you are being rather selfish if you do not share your gift with the world. You need to shout to the world all that you have to offer. You are not pushy, you are genuine. There are people in this world that will only be able to connect to you and no one else.

Affirmation – say: “I will share my gift to the world.”

Opinions

“Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.” - Katherine Mansfield 

It’s good to get feedback – but only when you ask for it. Heed good criticisms but don’t let them paralyze you! Others will try to influence you but they might not be coming from a place that is right for you. It’s easy to take other people’s advice because if it doesn’t work out then we can blame them! No more! There will be many times when you just need to do what you have to do – regardless of others warnings. They aren’t always right!

Affirmation – say: “I will trust my own judgment and go for it.”
