Positive Affirmations Create a Path to Success

Positive Affirmations Make a Positive Impact

Do you ever hear the term “positive affirmations”? If you read enough about success you’ll come across it at some point. Affirmations come from the idea that if you tell yourself something or hear something enough times you’ll believe it. That means that positive affirmations are positive things that you are told or hear regularly that influence your life. The actual definition of an affirmation is the action or process of affirming something or being affirmed. It can also be emotional support or encouragement. The things you believe in most are what create your reality. If you tell yourself you’re going to have a great day you more than likely will.

Examples of Positive Affirmations

Telling yourself you’re going to have a great day is a start but let’s take a look at a list of positive affirmations that are easy to get started with.

I learn from my mistakes
I never give up
I make the best of every situation
I am successful
I am wealthy
I am the creator of my own destiny

As you can see these affirmations examples are all about you. The best way to word them is by using the word “I” and terms that make it sounds like it’s happened already. You want to convince yourself that you can do it because you already have. Create the confidence within yourself and make it powerful.

It can be tough to imagine a situation to use positive affirmations on at first. Remember you can use them for work, school, life, or wealth just to name a few. Imagine How much better your job would feel if you created an affirmation for work. You could inspire coworkers to do the same and eventually boost office morale. If the whole office is more productive because of you it’s almost guaranteed you’ll get rewarded.

Teach Them Early

Positive affirmations for kids is also a huge thing you can start early on in your child’s life. If you are a parent you do everything you can to make the best life you can for your children. Imagine how much more they could accomplish if they convinced themselves they can do anything. Teach them to tell themselves “I am the hardest working student in my class” or “I’m the best athlete on my team”. These ideas will push them to the next level.

The Importance of Positive Thinking

The way you think will change how you view the world. Have you ever had a bad thing happen early on in your day? It can be difficult to bounce back because you focus on negative ideas. Positive affirmations area great way to start thinking positively.

Affirmations are powerful and should be used as often as possible. You can use them in the morning to start your day, if you are struggling and need reassurance, or before bed. It’s really up to you and you may need to experiment to get the best results. Many people believe that you should say your affirmations out loud. It may be helpful for you to do this but it isn’t necessary. Positive affirmations are a thought so just thinking of the idea will help you tremendously.

Positive Impact on Your Life

It may seem odd at first but positive thinking will impact how you feel. They are good for creating more happiness and positive emotions. It also promotes big thinking. If you tell yourself that you are going to be a millionaire everyday you will start thinking about how to reach big goals. Your happiness and big dreams will start to influence the people around you. Imagine how your life will improve if you family, friends, coworkers, or employees start having a more positive outlook. There’s no downside to thinking more positively.

Big People Believe in Big Thinking

The idea of thinking big has been around for a long time. Every nation, religion, or company has been created by someone with big ideas. Positive affirmation may not have been what helped every big thinker along but it did help a few and here are some examples

Napoleon Hill

He is known for his book “Think and Grow Rich” as you can see it has to do with thinking. One of the quotes he is most famous for is “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” He used positive affirmations for success because he knew it would help build an empire. As a result of his positive thinking his empire was able to teach others how to be successful and think positively.

Henry Ford

The man that brought the automobile to the average person was known for thinking big. He is credited for saying “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” He knew that the way you think would correlate to what kind of life you had. Even without finishing school (dropped out at age 15) he still went on to become one of the most well known businessmen in history.

Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey daydreamed of his future success. He was so committed to the idea that he would become successful that he post dated a check 10 years in advance for $10 million. The check was for “acting services rendered” he kept that check in his wallet until it fell apart. He eventually reached his goal. His positive thinking helped him achieve his dreams.

Will Smith

Almost everyone with access to TV or the internet knows who Will Smith is now. Before he became a major celebrity he still believed he was. He believed that he was an A list celebrity you just didn’t know him yet. That powerful thinking was able to push him to fame. Will Smith believes that if you aren’t making someone else’s life better than you are wasting yours. That is powerful thinking, he will change the world.

It’s Time

You’ve read about how positive affirmations will make your life better. You’ve also read about how successful people have used positive thinking and affirmations to become famous world wide. Now it’s your turn to create a positive affirmation for yourself. This is only going to take a few steps.

Step 1

Find something that you think you want because it will make your life better. This could be anything from having a great day to becoming the wealthiest person in you family. Make sure that it is something you want.

Step 2

Create a phrase to go along with what you are trying to achieve. This should be a statement that includes and “I”. It’s also a good idea to use words that are past tense like you’ve already done the task. I’m having a great day is a good example. Here are a few examples to go along with the wealth and success. “I am a successful businessperson.” or “I am a millionaire, I work hard for my dreams.” Whatever it takes to motivate you and make you feel good about what you are doing.

Step 3

This is the final step. All you have to do is find the best time to tell yourself your affirmations. A great time to do it is in the morning while you are preparing for your day. You can also add to it as the day goes on or if you start feeling down. Through it in before bed to end your day on a positive note.

My Personal Affirmations

Creating affirmations isn’t the easiest thing because you have to have an idea of what you want. I didn’t start out with big thinking but it grew over time. This is a list of the affirmations I currently use, feel free to steal them if they sound like something you dream about.

I am a millionaire real estate investor
I am a best selling author for investing and lifestyle coaching
I am a motivation speaker, coach, and mentor
I’m making a difference in the world by teaching how to live a more fulfilling life.

I have big goals and I hope that after reading this you will too. If you are still having a hard time here are 3 sentences to use to create your affirmations.

I am ______

Life is too short to focus on all of the negatives. Everyday you should find something positive to think about because positive thinking will create more happiness for you. Daily motivations should be one of your main focuses. Every chance you get to look at the world in a positive light is a chance to grow into a more positive person.

The most successful people in the world because successful because they know that the way you think determines how you live. Start thinking in a way that makes your life positive.

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! By Robert Kiyosaki

Rich Dad Poor Dad is by far one of the best books on success and motivation. It’s a story about Robert Kiyosaki growing up with influence from his real dad (poor dad) and his best friends dad (rich dad). His poor dad focused on security and education while his rich dad focused on success and entrepreneurship.

Mentors and surrounding yourself with people that will help you improve your life is another key factor in making this one of the best success books of all time. The people you surround yourself with will either bring you up to their level or pull you down. Picking the most positively influential people is a must.

If you take anything from this book it should be, the average person can succeed, build good relationships, and find a way to invest in your future.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Think and Grow Rich is an amazing book created by Napoleon Hill. He was one of the first people to get involved with motivation speaking, personal development, and success coaching. This book brings what he learned from years of first hand experience in becoming successful. He spent years researching to be one of the best in his field. It shows because this book is still one of the top 10 best selling personal development books of all time.

Your Ability to Succeed is Directly Related to What You Believe You Can Achieve

The idea that you can achieve anything you believe you can do is what this book is about. It teaches you how to move passed small thinking and focus on viewing the big picture. One of the big parts of this is never stop learning. When you stop learning you lose a way to have new ideas brought to you. It’s also important to surround yourself with good people that want to achieve more (see a trend here?). Remember you are the only person that can make a difference in you life. Use your own abilities to create a wonderful life for yourself.

Start with Why by Simon Sinek

This business success book was originally written to help business leaders and entrepreneurs achieve more. That may be the original purpose but anyone can read this book and find inspiration. Simon Sinek took a spin on how people should view why they are doing something. Normally people look at things from the outside in but Simon wanted people to ask why and start from the inside out.

Why is Your Purpose

You may be wondering what “why is your purpose” means. To put it in the most simple form, why is your purpose because you need to know why you are doing something. Your why should be the thing that pushes you to your limits. For some their why will be their family for others it may be friends, relationships, money, or knowledge. Whatever your why is you need to be emotional about it.

Your why should be something that you are willing to share with anyone. You need to be confident in your why and if you are too scared to share it then it’s not the right why. Your why needs to be built into a how. In business this would be how the company does something. It is the same for you, you are using your why to create a how. Next you’ll be building our why and how into a what. A what is just what you are doing. You can’t have a why or a how without a what.

Use your why to expand yourself as a person. After you have your why make sure everything you do is for your why.

The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure by Grant Cardone

Grant Cardone has created one of the best motivational books of all time. He grew up as an average kid for the most part. His father passed away when he was young so he didn’t have a father figure growing up. His mother did the best he could for the family but by most standards it still wasn’t enough. When he grew up he became a drug addict and alcoholic. Being in sales and making average money caused him to re-evaluate his life eventually becoming one of the best salesman, motivational speakers, and success coaches in the world.

Big Goals and Big Action Create Big Success

The main purpose of this book is to motivate people to do more. If you dig deeper it focuses on how to make big goals and take big action. Grant Cardone doesn’t want people to be average and he believes that everyone can achieve more.

One way to achieve more is by taking responsibility for your actions. Everything that happens to you is because of a choice you made this includes the excuses that you make. You need to take control of your life and focus on the things that will let you achieve more. Success should be your moral obligation. If you aren’t achieve then you need to put more time and effort in because being average is failing. Be more than average and you’ll never fail.

The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

George Clason followed the story of average men in Babylon. He shows the struggles that you live through if you only strive to be average. One man learns that it is what you do that makes you successful and begins to find mentors and learn how to become successful. Each day is a chance to become more than you were the day before.

Small Steps Will Eventually Lead to Success

The richest man in Babylon got there by creating wealth over time. This book teaches the basics of investing and saving money. A simple personal finance trick that is taught is saving 10% of your income. It sounds like a lot but it can go unnoticed if taken out automatically. This 10% of your income can be used to invest.

Invest Your Savings

As you save up your 10% each month you will eventually have enough to invest. Don’t invest in something that you don’t understand, it’s too easy to lose money. Always pick something that you understand and you can repeatedly invest in. Over time your profits should be reinvested to take advantage of compounding interest. With enough time compounding interest will make you rich beyond what you can imagine making on your own.

If you take anything away from this book it should be that persistence and faith are life changing. Never back away from something because you can’t picture how the future will be. Keep trying to reach your dreams.

Reading Your Way to Success

Reading is one of the most important things you can do to achieve success. This list of books will give you at least 5 different perspectives that you can use to achieve more success in your life. The 5 authors can be mentors to you. They may not be able to speak with you in person but they can teach you through writing. Each book they write is a new opportunity to teach you lessons but you have to be open to learning. Taking the time to read gives you an opportunity to look at the way another person thinks. This gives you a chance to learn a new perspective and expand your mind. The books that change your perspective on life are some of the best uses of your time.
