An affirmation is a saying that can be memorized and so make its way into our thoughts, where it can change our thinking in a positive way. When we change our thinking, we can change our actions; when we change our actions, we can change our lives - and for the better. Affirmations come in many forms. Some are well-known quotations, such as this one by Cicero: "Where there's life, there's hope." "What you've done before you can do again, even better," is an affirmation that's been around a while. You can make up your own affirmations; here's one by me: "Life is supposed to about the pursuit of dreams. Make it so." Sometimes you have to be your own best friend and in your mind tell yourself what you need to hear. Affirmations from others or affirmations you create can allow you to do just that. Affirmations can take many forms, and not all have to be in the first person ("I...") form. I would like to know your favorite affirmations, whether they're from other people or ones you've made up. Affirmations are one of the many gifts we can give free and freely to help each other, so please share the gift today!
