So, who has already met the same goal you are trying to achieve? Who acts, thinks or speaks the way you would like to in your own life? Who has overcome adversity and still came out on top?

List your heroes and notice how just seeing their name inspires you to live a better life.

Remember, heroes might be people who are living today or they might be teachers from the past.

All that matters is that they inspire you and raise your standards.

More general affirmations work as well, such as:

* I am perfect as I am.
* Money comes easily to me.
* I radiate good health and vitality.
* Everything in my life is working towards my ultimate good.
* I have the strength and courage I need to deal with any situation.

An affirmation is most effective when it’s written in the present tense, as if the change has already happened.

Imagine that you have already achieved your goal, and create personal affirmation statements that reflect your desired state.

These powerful statements will gradually sink into your subconscious mind and move you toward achieving your goals.

But, did you realize that lack of forgiveness can be one of the biggest barriers to achieving your goals?

Today, you will think about anyone you’re angry with, and add them to your forgiveness page. Check off “Not Forgiven.” Now, decide if forgiving this person is something you are willing to work towards right now. If so, check “Active.” If not, check “Inactive.”

As you work on releasing yourself of this resentment and negative energy, you are clearing the path towards your goal. It is well worth the effort and is very liberating.

As you change someone’s status from “Not Forgiven” to “Forgiven,” we suggest you leave the record here in your account as a reminder that forgiveness is possible.

Forgiveness will set you free, so enjoy the process.
