Create positive stories in your life every single day. For the next 7 days, do not listen to or talk about anything negative that happened to you, or someone else in the past. Allow yourself to bring light where there is darkness; speak peace where there is anger and infuse love where there is indifference. Create something today that you will be proud of in the future.

Louise Hay on Gratitude

June 2016 Update: Here’s an audio version of the affirmation below. I created it using Adobe Voice. Thanks! https://voice.adobe.com/a/aD6Dd/

When you express gratitude, you raise the vibrations around you to a higher frequency. You create positive energy that emanates out from you and returns to you as wonderful experiences. You become magnetic. Good things and good people gravitate toward you because you’re such a joy and delight to be around.

An attitude of gratitude is naturally attractive. It has the power to turn challenges into possibilities, problems into solutions, and losses into gains. It shifts the energy. It expands our vision and allows us to see what might normally be invisible to someone with a limiting attitude.

Gratitude is a prayer for goodness to abound. I think the words “ thank you” are two of the most beautiful words in the language. They can light up someone’s face and help the other person know that he or she is appreciated. It opens the doors to our hearts and allows us to feel connected.

Let’s spend as many moments as we can every day being grateful for all the good that’s in our lives.

Affirm: I express gratitude and thanksgiving every day, in every way. Doing so is an important part of my life.

Stay Hungry!

Refuse to be taken hostage by your own mind. Surround yourself with “can do” energy, with people and stories of people, who are actively seeking to create, imagine, reinvent, and change their lives. Develop a curiosity about your own limits.

Expand your mindset by reading something everyday that stretches your imagination and strengthens your spirit. Move forward, go around, look ahead and stretch above your present circumstances. They do not define you or own you. You’ve gotta be HUNGRY to create the next extraordinary version of you and to live your best life ever! You have GREATNESS within you!
