The Power of Positive Thinking

Public Speaker

Over the course of my life there have been moments when I went through hard times.

What I can say that has given my power to think, believe and act on a higher level is with positive affirmations. To change my mood, to elevate my thinking, to be happier in the moment is with words.

So I wanted to share with you a list of 85 positive affirmations that I have collected through books, tapes, movies, mentors, podcasts, etc. Please read them, copy and paste them on a document for yourself and especially others.

I will let you in on a little secret as well. I used to have all of these memorized.

If you would like to share one of your favorite quotes to add to this list please do so.

All my best to you and yours. If I can help you in any way please reach out.
