A collection of positive affirmations
for your day, your week, your life!

Use these affirmations to help you
to shift your perspective and beliefs
to a more positive way of looking
at life, living, and the world
around us.

   

This page will, of course, be different from the others, mostly due to attributions--
there won't be any here.  We're starting with a few ideas on why affirmations can
be very important to us, but after that, the affirmations themselves won't have
attributions.  There are two main reasons for this--most of them can't be traced
to an original source (most have been borrowed by the people whose names you
usually see on them), and it's also important to focus on the thoughts themselves,
not where they might have come from.  With that said, please enjoy the page!

   

By doing affirmations you are replacing the old negative voices with new positive ones.  When you first start using an affirmation, you may not believe it.  In fact, if you already believed it, there would be no need to affirm it.  It is important, though, to try to tap into a feeling of belief and an experience that the affirmation can be true.  Temporarily, at least for a few moments, suspend your doubts and hesitations and put your full mental and emotional energy into the affirmation.  Act as if it were true.

Shakti Gawain

     
Positive affirmations are designed to challenge those negative beliefs and start to stem the flow of negative thoughts and words that seek to validate them.  Affirmations are more than just repeating words.  It is a whole process of becoming aware of your thoughts and words in everyday life, choosing to think and project happy positive thoughts.  The more you can consciously inject the spirit of you affirmations into your daily thoughts and words, the quicker they will work for you.

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief.  And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

Claude M. Bristol

   
Positive affirmations are very powerful because they release you from negativity, fear, worry, and anxiety.  When these affirmations are repeated over and over again, they begin to take charge of your thoughts, slowly changing your pattern of thinking and ultimately changing your life.  With your words, your thoughts are affected and when the words and thoughts are in harmony then they change your life and your reality.

Nitin Khaire

  

I am a person of value and worth and no one can make me feel inferior.

I dare to be different.

I am free of worry and at peace with who I am.

When Walker first steps onto the road, he has no thoughts, no history, no memories, and no clothes. As he travels and meets people and learns from them, he comes to know more about life, living, and becoming the person he's meant to be. Walker is a parable for all of us who wonder what might be the purpose of life, why bad things happen with almost as much regularity as good things, and how we can learn from the bad examples and experiences in our lives as much as we can learn from the good things. Tom Walsh's parable is a story of the ages, a timeless exploration of ideas and thoughts that all of us wonder about, a sincere and heartfelt portrait of a man who has no past and no future, but who learns to make the most of each precious present moment as it comes.
