A statement or proposition that is declared to be true.
Affirm! Affirmed!! Affirmation!!!
What do you desire in life? What do you hope to accomplish? Where do you see yourself?
In a few days, weeks, months, or years….
I can remember when I would talk about every negative thing that was going on in my life and I had no affirmations. I was giving too much energy to the things I did not want and my under achievements that I had transformed every ounce of energy I had into doubt. I was beginning to understand that, often times we do not realize, the situations and thoughts we spend the most time on are what we produce. Negative thinking and speaking produces negative results. Once you make daily affirmations apart of your every day life you will begin to see how important they are.
Affirmations can be simple, they do not have to be complex. They are declarations of what you are perceiving to be true.
I challenge you to begin to develop a habit of affirming what you desire, daily. Start declaring positive words over yourself and stop indulging in what is not right or going well. It does not have to be a certain time of day, but when you just begin to doubt, start stating your affirmations. They can become how you start your day, mid day when uncertainty comes upon you, or the end of your day in preparation for tomorrow.
But do not forget, you still have to do the work and they do not replace the scriptures of the Bible. They are reminders that gives the boost that is needed to get back on track. They are words to inspire and uplift in the spare of the moment. In my own experience, my affirmations with my daily Bible studies, causes me to push harder and increases my faith and esteem. The more I affirm it, the more I can see it in the near future. If I declare something to be true and I am doing my part, then it has to happen.
Here are some of my daily affirmations…
I have the power to create success and prosperity
I have the ability to learn and be creative

If you will not believe, you surely will not last
