"Today I decide to be wealthy." Repeat morning and night, and during the day, whenever.
Affirmations are nothing new. The Greatest Salesman in the World was very popular in the '70's, and I think my dad even had a copy of it. I got a copy of it when I was in Eugene or Logan, and tried doing it, and failed by the second chapter. One of my friends, a former missionary, said that the affirmation sentences were all put together and was basically a mission chant. She wasn't even aware that there was a book, let alone the preaching published for each affirmation.
Saturday Night Live mocked affirmations I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!: Daily Affirmations With Stuart Smalley, is still available on-line. The author of that is now in politics; you have to believe in yourself pretty good to have that job.
But I'm still going to try this one-- Today I decide to be wealthy. (Not become, but to be.)
One of the other things in the book was about "making money in the margins." I'm a trained writer; I've sold a short story and a children's puzzle, so I'm also a published one, even though it was decades ago. I should be using this talent to make some money.
And goodness knows, I still have Sister B.'s book to do, the family history books and the neighborhood newsletter, all today.
