The moment everything changed was when I realized I deserved so much better.
“It’s impossible,” says pride. “It’s risky,” says experience. “It’s pointless,” says reason.
“Give it a try,” whispered the heart. —Unknown
The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. —Unknown
Do I really like the person I am becoming?
If no one told me who I was, who would I be?
Problems cannot be solved with the same level of thinking that created them. —Albert Einstein
If I want things to change, I must think different thoughts, finding unfamiliar ways of approaching familiar subjects.
I cannot change a belief with less power than was used to create it.
Most people are more comfortable with old problems than new solutions.
As I change, I often mourn the death of my old dysfunctional self because I was familiar with that unhealthy side of myself.
Once I know something, I cannot pretend I do not know again. I cannot go back to innocence, whether innocence is being naive or stupid.
Seeing differently is believing differently and leads to different ways of living.
Nothing happens until something moves. —Albert Einstein
But where do I begin? Begin at the beginning. But where is the beginning? The beginning is now. I am here, and the time is now; therefore, I have begun.
There is no condition that cannot be reversed by choosing different thoughts. If I continue to focus as I have been, to think as I have been, and to believe as I have been, then nothing in my experience will change.
If what I am doing is not working, then I need to do something different.
To get something I never had, I have to do something I never did.
Think different, act different, live different.
What could I do? What should I do? What is the right thing to do? What am I willing to do? What does it boil down to?
I want change but am frustrated and confused by new feelings. These feelings are really a result of my already having changed. It will take a while for others to accept the changes and mirror positive responses.
If you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are correct. It’s the thinking that makes it so. —Henry Ford
Stop thinking about what I do not want, even if it is what is happening now. Ask myself what I want and change my thoughts to my intention (faster vibrations).
I cannot manifest health from “I abhor being sick,” for I am ultimately thinking of sickness, and what I think about expands.
Some of the greatest accomplishments in the world were made by people who changed their minds.
Shift my energy from what is to the energy of what I want and what I intend to create, even if I do not have a clue how to do it.
Self-correction is like compound interest on a savings account; small changes add up to significant results. Failing to reflect is like interest on a credit card; small balances grow to a debt never to be repaid.
The universal power never judges or criticizes me. It only accepts me at my own value. Then it reflects my beliefs back to me.
What the mind can conceive and bring itself to believe, it can achieve. —Napoleon Hill
If I am powerful enough to mess up everything I touch, everywhere I go, with amazing consistency, there must be a way to apply the same mental power in a more positive way.
Make my life the definition of what I believe about myself.
Act as though I am—and I will be.
When there is faith in the future, there is power in the present.
The future is not some place I am going to, but one I am creating. The paths are not to be found but made, and the activity of making changes both the maker and the destination.
My state of mind makes the difference. Today is a reflection either of the past or the beginning of my future. Which will it be? The choice is mine.
The mind sees pictures (not words); therefore, see it, crystallize it, and take the necessary steps to make it happen.
Five criteria of a well-formed intent: I really want it. I can imagine it. I deserve it. I take responsibility for it. Everyone benefits.
Know myself and what I want to create in my life; hold that in front of myself always.
The question is not what you look at, but what you see. —Henry Thoreau
I feel_______, but I am wiling not to be. Show me what I am not seeing.
See what I can see, not what I expect to see. Hear what I can hear, not what I expect to hear. Think what I can think, not what I expect to think.
Instead of being open to what I have and working to get what I want, do I use up all my power resisting what I have?
Eternity is not the hereafter … This is it. If I don’t get it here, I won’t get it anywhere.
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did do. —Mark Twain
Only in this present moment can I create my future.

About the Book
Suddenly thrown from the protective comfort of the idealistic image of a happy marriage this stay-at-home mom found the courage to reinvent herself.

With the timely intervention of a certain inspirational book and nothing to lose except her low self-esteem, she began to experiment with the idea that she could change her life and its unpleasant circumstances by simply changing the way she thought about things. Fighting against old thought patterns of doubt and insecurity through continuous affirmations, she courageously stepped out of her comfort zone and eventually bought the shop where she worked, the shop next door, and then her competition.
This book contains the ideas, affirmations, and wisdoms she used to gain that success. May they help you as well.
