In the last year my life collapsed around me.  I’d worked myself into exhaustion, my mother died, and my relationships with loved ones were in turmoil.  Little did I know at the time, out of my greatest despair was to come my greatest growth.  Unbeknown to me these words paralleled the words of Rhonda Byrne.  To help you with your New Year resolutions here are a few inspirational affirmations as stated in her book, The Secret that helped me redirect my life; in hopes that these affirmations will guide you in bringing about those changes in your life that will bring you great joy and a feeling of empowerment.
You are the most powerful magnet in the universe and this power is emitted through your thoughts.  If you see it in your mind, you’re going to hold it in your hands.  The law of attraction doesn’t care whether you perceive something to be good or bad. 

Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.  Like Aladdin’s Genie, the law of attraction grants our every command. Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.  Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go and you will create your life intentionally.  All that we are is a result of what we have thought.  The daily practice of gratitude is one of the conduits by which your wealth will come to you.  Give money in order to bring more of it into your life.  Your job is you.  Unless you fill yourself up first, you have nothing to give anybody.  Know the difference between giving and sacrifice.  Treat yourself with love and respect and you will attract people who show you love and respect.  What you resist you attract.  The real secret of power is consciousness of power.  Let go of difficulties from your past, cultural codes, and social beliefs.  You are the only one who can create the life you deserve.  When you follow your bliss you live in a constant space of joy, your bliss becomes contagious.  To experience more, visit www.thesecret.tv .
