The younger we are when we learn to take control of our belief systems, the easier it will be to maintain a positive outlook on life when we are older. Today, you will plant seeds for your future and only you get to decide whether those seeds will reap a positive or negative harvest. Choose today, to power your mind with life-giving thoughts. Choose today, to develop the mindset and belief of a winner through your speech. When you read the words written in this book, say them out loud as though you already have them inside of you. Believe them as though you are convinced you will receive what they are saying. Know that positive change will come if you keep working toward it. Invite blessings into your life and choose gratitude, in advance, for what is already yours. When read daily, this book will strengthen positive self-belief. Once affirmations are learned, they work by coming to mind when that belief is challenged. The more an affirmation is repeated, the stronger it becomes. The next time you are overcome with anger or sadness, remind yourself of the incredible power of your words. You have the opportunity to steer your thoughts and your emotions in the direction you want them to go. Hurtful words can create a negative self-image and allow room for insecurity to move into your life. This is your opportunity to speak BLESSINGS over your future. Speak the promises of God (out loud and in faith) so they will take root in your mind as you remind yourself, each day, who and whose you are. These affirmations and prayers might not all be true right now, but you have the power and the authority to call things that are not as though they already are! This is a simple book, but with consistency, the contents within will help you develop positive foundations on which to grow.
