The following quotes, aphorisms, muses, and statements are positive affirmations that we hope will stir you mind into positive thought and create positive action. Thoughts precede our actions and if we want a positive outcome with our lives then we need to think and feel positive. A positive affirmation is anything that goes through your mind and pushes out negative thoughts. Affirmations are based on "thoughts precede our actions." Taking a quote from the Bible, "As a man thinketh, so is he." Proverbs 23:7.

It's similar to the adage that darkness cannot exist in a lighted space, neither can negative thoughts exist in a positive space.
 

What are Positive Affirmations?
We define the phrase "Positive Affirmations" more broadly than most proponents of positive affirmations. We consider a positive affirmation as something that reinforces and builds positive thoughts and helps to fight off negative thoughts ridding the mind of self defeating attitudes.

The real secret is that positive affirmations can range from traditional one line powerful statements to inspirational quotes, from positive music to uplifting activities. From scriptures to photos and art. From Affirmation Jewelry to positive poems and prose. A positive affirmation is anything that creates a positive experience in your mind.

"As a man thinketh, so is he." (Proverbs 3:5-6). "We are what we believe we are." (C.S. Lewis).

The secret to positive affirmations is that anything positive that you put in your mind will have positive benefits played out in your actions. The mind is a powerful tool that can affect the body in a positive way or a negative way. Science is just now playing catch up on this powerful tool to influence the body. It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate. (Henry David Thoreau).

The secret to successfully unleashing positive affirmations to your benefit lies in understanding that your mind which controls your actions can be influenced by you using positive affirmations for your own good. You can influence your future and control your destiny. If you have the desire we can help.

The Cycle
The average person find themselves in a cycle of behavior. Following the old adage "garbage in, garbage out". If our mind is filled with negative thoughts, words and feelings our physical actions will reflect what comes from our mind. Conversely, we can create a positive cycle and change the old adage to "positive in, positive out". If our mind is filled with positive thoughts and words then our actions will reflect into positive actions.

 Ghandi is credited with the following expression "A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes."

Our approach to breaking the cycle of negativity is to replace it with a cycle of positive words and thought.  We provide lists of free positive affirmations and inspirational quotes with a link to a powerful positive affirmation blog and other web pages on this web site to promote a healthy self image with the use of positive daily affirmations.

Live the Life of Your Dreams 
Why do we teach and encourage children to use their imagination only to say when they grow up stop dreaming and get to work. Praise to the men and women that have had the courage to keep on dreaming and using their imagination. They have brought to humanity many great inventions. Many great tools and medical advances to cure diseases and bring comfort to the sick. They have given to us tools and advancements that have help others achieve their dreams. They have lived the life they had imagined for themselves. They were not afraid to follow their dreams.

These were no ordinary people. Sure, they may have worked their way out of slums and ghettos. They may have had to overcome many challenges of life. They may have overcome adversity and many obstacles but they lived the life of their terms. They lived a life they imagined for themselves.

So why can't you do the same. Your no ordinary person. We are all created in the image of God. We all started life as a child with dreams and imaginations. Live the life you have imagined for yourself. Be that fireman. Be that doctor. Be that President. Live the life of your dreams. (Callahan copyright 2009)
