My Success Affirmations Today I am born anew. Today is the most important day of my life because it represents the glorious and first day of my new life. I now understand that I alone control my destiny, my success or my failure in this wondrous world of opportunity. Am I now capable, too, of greatness and fortune like those highly successful individuals I have learned about? For now I truly understand that I can accomplish anything I carefully program into my mind. Does not the immigrant cherish fully the American opportunity, knowing they must succeed and that failure is not an option in their newfound world? I will adopt a similar burning desire, and I will excel. I am born anew. For now I realize that I am the greatest miracle in the world, unique to anyone ever born. No longer will I count the obstacles and drawbacks in my life. I now realize that, like the inventor who welcomes each new failure on the road to victory, so, too, shall I. For now I understand that each failure only brings me closer to the success I know will be mine. Never again will I allow self-pity, doubt, or negativity to penetrate my new power-mind, protected by a new negativity-shield, for now I realize that 80 percent of all talk and actions around me will be negative. I now realize that negativity has been around since the caveman, and yet successful people always prevailed. I, too, shall prevail. I, too, will stand out from the crowd. I am a king and the world is my new kingdom, for now I realize that the knowledge I possess is worth more than all the riches of the world. Today I possess an immense knowledge of how to change my life forever. It is a true celebration indeed because now I realize that the best is yet to be. Just like the wind that graces the earth, never will I look back. Never will I revisit yesterday’s problems and heartaches. They are dead. I will always look forward with a newfound, childlike excitement and energy. Never again will I allow my life to be likened to a casino game of chance because I now understand that I alone take full responsibility for my results along the long road to success, and I vow to apply the principles I have learned along the way. It is a joy to travel the long road to success. I will savor every step, enjoying the rough as well as the easy road I encounter. Today and everyday forward I will welcome each new day as a blessing from above, and I vow never again to squander such a precious gift, knowing that the richest king can never buy one more day of life. It is truly a gift from the Creator and shall never again be wasted. Enthusiasm, I have learned, is contagious. And I know that if I project an enthusiastic, positive attitude to all whom I encounter each day, they, too, will be enthused and will spread it to others. And like all wealth shared with love, it no doubt will inspire me all the more. I realize that I have choices in life: I can feel happy, or I can feel sad. I can act positive, or I can act in a negative manner. I can succeed greatly, or I can settle for failure as an end result. I can love all others I encounter, or carry around baggage of doom and gloom and aversion. I choose to be different, to stand out and set an example that others will admire and want to emulate. This is my new life. I am like a newborn, pure in heart and mind from prejudice, hatred, failure, or fear. And like a newborn, full of life and hope, I now understand that I, too, am unspoiled now in my mind. I now possess the great knowledge of the ages. For now I know that the mind controls the body, and the subconscious controls the conscious. As long as I feed the subconscious mind good, pure, and positive thoughts, the subconscious will radiate like the rays of the sun, thus renewing, invigorating, and warming me each day like the powerful rays of the sun. For this little-known secret of my subconscious is now part of my life, part of my daily routine. And with each new day that I take a breath of air, I, too, will begin it with positive self-suggestion statements. My newfound positive-attitude shield will protect me from the arrows of negativity that kill off the spirit and drive off so many other people. I am different; I am new. I will apply the newfound knowledge I possess. No longer will that negativity seep into my mind. I will not allow negativity to affect the computer-mind God gave me. I was born to be great. Greatness is my destiny. From this day forward I will never again worry, for now I know that 92 percent of all worry is useless, self-defeating, and draining. Like the seasons that change, I now understand that my emotions, too, change, and though I may not feel as happy one day, I know that in a day or two I could possibly be ecstatic. Like the cycles of the world, emotions change, and now my newfound knowledge is power I will be able to use. With love in my eyes and heart, I will greet everyone I meet with sincere kindness. For now I understand that love alone will soften the coldest hearts of enemies and friends alike. And if I am to help others along the road to success, I must set an example of pure love and inspiration for all to follow. My new attitude will be my shield that will protect me from the dreaded arrows of negativity that kill off the spirit and drive off so many others. I am now different; I am new; I am driven. And as someone who loves himself, I now vow to allow only good things to enter my mind and body, and to eliminate anything harmful from affecting me. I will ignore the surrounding negativity and indulgences that can harm this masterpiece-body that I have been born with. I now know that I am the greatest work of art in the world, a masterpiece that no money can ever duplicate. I now vow that each new day will be carefully unwrapped and savored for the precious gift it represents. And in the end, I will know that I have made my Creator proud of what I have accomplished, and I will be able to look back, knowing that I have set a truly inspiring example and have made a lasting, positive difference in this great world of ours. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Being-Different-success-ebook/dp/B002C75GY4/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1297365248&sr=1-1

“KEEPING IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE” (from my book: The Power Of Being Different) "Here is something that appeared in Harper’s Weekly: ‘It’s a gloomy moment in the history of our country. Not in the lifetime of most men has there been so much grave and deep apprehension. The domestic economic situation is in chaos. The dollar is weak around the world. Prices are so high as to be utterly impossible. The political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty. Russia hangs as usual like a cloud – dark and silent upon the horizon. It’s a solemn moment. Of our troubles, no man can see the end.’ Does that sound familiar? Well, that article was written in October 1857, just four years before the Civil War. There were poor crops, bank closures, social problems, business failures and government debts.” There will always be negative situations, events, and attitudes surrounding you. The world and the people in it are not perfect. Negatives can become “good” or “useful,” if those negatives motivate you to change your negatives into positive results and to accomplish something great. Negativity always has to be kept in proper prospective. Learning to overcome life’s problems and setbacks will help you to reach a new greatness. Strive to be different and greater than your setbacks. Does the average person give in to defeat and negativity? How can you be different? How can you be successful? Start by minimizing the attention you give to worrying. There’s a great saying: “Don’t sweat the small stuff, and it’s all small stuff.” Abundance of Opportunities Consider, too, how times have improved over the centuries. If you lived in the 1700s, it might take you three days to go 300 miles. It’s no wonder that many people grew up living and dying in the same general area where they were born, having seldom traveled. Ben Franklin was different. At the early age of seventeen, he set out to find a life for himself. He left Boston, his birthplace, and hitched aboard a ship headed to New York, a very rough three-day trip in his day. Unable to secure work, he moved on to Philadelphia, where he started his new life. Today, you can simply take a jet plane to a warm climate within hours. It’s a better life by far than what life was like two or three hundred years ago. Also, what we consider toys today, were unthinkable fifty years ago. Today you can buy your son or daughter a $1,000 computer toy. Some toy! If you wanted to, you could drive a car from New York to beautiful Florida. You have the freedom to travel. Nice country, America, isn’t it? You don’t have to ask permission to leave your home. There is no immediate threat of attack from a foreign country; no tanks are in our streets fighting a war. I imagine this is the best time in the history of America when there has been this much freedom and money so easy to come by. Today is a great time to be alive. You can go or do almost anything you wish. I know people who quit their jobs and take off for months to do whatever they want, while they live off their savings. You have the freedom and the opportunity to choose to do whatever you wish, at anytime you wish to do it. Few other countries in the world offer you as many opportunities to be great and to excel as America does. In 1915, you had to be rich to own an automobile. Now, some families have four cars, most of which are fairly new. We have food in such abundance in this country; so much so that obesity is becoming a severe problem. There are fast food restaurants providing meals for only ninety-nine cents. Food is affordable. With the abundance of opportunities around us, what you do with your life is entirely up to you. Thousands of people are risking their lives to cross the border illegally to have the same opportunities we have. So many obstacles have been moved out of the way for you. As the Army states, you can “be all that you can be,” but you need to acquire an all-consuming “desire” for whatever you want. Your subconscious mind has the power to do the rest to help your conscious mind carry forth its goal. So, learn to use your mind as a filter in a positive way. All the great inventors have learned to do this. They had to filter out all the negative comments, influences and defeatist attitudes that surround them every day. Edison had to get past the derision of others to perfect the light bulb. He could have chosen to give up on his inventions and be an average person, but would we have the electric light bulb today? What are you capable of? Will your new accomplishments influence others and maybe the whole world?"
