Today I fulfill my creative side. I want to bloom wherever I am planted!

I rejoice in the success of others, knowing that there is plenty for us all.

I do not fix problems. I fix my thinking. Then problems fix themselves.

Thoughts are like drops of water: with our thoughts we can drown in a sea of negativity, or we can float on the ocean of life.

Love is the greatest healing power I know. Love can heal even the deepest and most painful memories because love brings the light of understanding to the darkest corners of our hearts and minds.

Learn to think in positive affirmations. Affirmations are any statements you make. Too often we think in negative affirmations. Negative affirmations only create more of what you say you don't want. Saying, “I hate my job,” will get you nowhere. Declaring, “I now accept a wonderful new job,” will open the channels in your consciousness to create that.

Loving the self, to me, begins with never ever criticizing ourselves for anything. Criticism locks us into the very pattern we are trying to change. Understanding and being gentle with ourselves helps us to move out of it. Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
