Success is a process, a quality of mind and a way of being, an outgoing affirmation of life. -Alex Noble
We all use affirmations in our lives, whether we know it or not. We say and think, "I can," or "I can't" about this or that. As we tell ourselves what we can or cannot do, we affirm in our minds a behavior, and the action we take as a result.
Instead of letting these affirmations control us, we can reset our thinking. We can take control, using positive affirmations to change our outlook and our behavior.
Let's share with each other affirmations that we like and use. Then the Tools staff will pull together a list of our favorite affirmations.
Dear MembersBuilding a community is sharing ideas and thoughts. When we come together and voice our thoughts, we all learn from each other. We learn that we are not alone; we learn new ideas that might be helpful to our lives. Being part of community helps us all.
Share your thoughts week-to-week. You can answer the question directly or comment on answers other members leave.
Well I realy like "I'm having a great day". Your telling youreslf your having a great day and it can really change the way you think and give you a positive attitude toward the day.
"When I let go of myself, I become what I might be..." - Lao Tzu
Each day holds small breaths of unexpected beauty; find them!
<<<<<I determine my own reality>>>>>
<<<<<I don't fail, I only get feedback>>>>>
<<<<<I will never settle>>>>>>
Thanks for sharing. I especially appreciate the last 2 affirmations. I need to remember to use them. :)
"My attitude is MY decision!" I find it so simple and effective, it smartens me up! ;)
Love your affirmation. Life is about choices and you are certainly choosing to be the one in control of your attitude.
My Past is PAST, My Future is NOW; I Make the Decisions and I Control the Outcomes! Micci
"Jewels are polished by rubbing, just as man is made brilliant by trials."
I have 1440 minutes a day. People will see me in the way of how I spend those minutes!!!!
hello, nothing could make me more happy than going back to this summer, if i could, i would change so many things, not falling in love for an example...there is so many things that we try to hide from the others, and who hurts us verry much, but we always keep hiding behind this smile who show an unreal image of us, happiness, that we don't have. so the thing that i do every day, is to be afraid to forgetting the past, and never forget this sadness.
hello, it's me...again, life could be really important and verry nice, but somehow it turns away from you, and everything is getting black, your friends dies, you're bighting with everyone, and you don't want to talk to anyone, you're hating yourself and more than that, you're hating your life. i need someone to talk to, i don't find anyone, er if i find it, this person doesn't understand me. i think that i really need help
I am 55 years old and I agree. We all need someone we can talk to. I have found I can talk to some people some of the time, but not to expect to be able to talk to the same person and expect to be understood all the time. I hope this helps.
as long as GOD in front of me i can handle anything life throws at me
hello everyone, i wouldn't like to post a comment,but a subject about what happened in palestine, it was so wrong to kill baby angels and families, why did they do that, it was just babies, they didn't do anything, just watching everyone living their own life hopping that one day they will live their own, please just tell me what do youthink about this subject
Yesterday is gone can't fix anything, tomorrow isn't here yet and never comes, so what else do you have.......Today, so be in control of it because You are the only one living your day. Why not live it good!
"Time is never found, only made"
The only thing that you can't do is what YOU say that you can't do.
If I can get out of my own way, I can achieve far more that I believe I can.
Today is only a building block for tomorrow, use the right type bricks for the foundation and the building will stand tall...So as the body when you feed it right and make wise decisions...
Grow wise and strong in spirit the rest will follow. Achieve success and help other to see how to do it... But they must choose it for themselves.
My two favorites are the shortest affirmations.
I can.
I am.
My days always start with positive affirmations.
I am a spiritual being having a human experience, I am choosing to be positive and connected to my higher self."
My heart is overflowing with love energies.
I choose thoughts that make me feel happy and loved, this enriches everything I do today.
Everyone and everything is bringing divine abundance, prosperity, and love in my life.
"I now discover daily how wonderful I am. I love and approve of myself. All is well."
How do you eat an elephant?
1 bite at a time.
"My attitude is my control" seems to be becoming one of my favorites too.
No matter where we go or who is in our lives there is only one constant and that is you. so no matter what anyone else thinks of you or says about you only one opion really matters......... your own.
"Do what you say and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Dr.Seuss
I love this. Thank you for posting. It really sums up how I feel.
When things just aren't going your way. when things you don't want happen and things you do want don't, just say to yourself:
"none of this moves ME"
We often don't know if the way things are or what happened is either good or bad.
I have many favorite affirmations that I would like to share. My all time favorite is a biblical one, and it reads:
"With God, all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 &
"All things are possible, with God." Mark 10:27

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle.
No Day but Today.
Tools to life and many other sources focus on this idea...No Day but Today, is actually a phrase and a theme of one of the most influential things in my life, The Broadway Musical Rent.
Rent uses themes of love, death and sickness, to illustrate that what happens todays is what matters the most-so make the day YOURS.
I dont have character traits prevaltent in the surface characteristics of the characters in rent(I'm not Gay, don't have AIDS) but i'm sure everyone in tools will be able to relate to the charactersin some form.
I have held a belief that to learn about yourself you need to actually see yourself in action, even if it's through the actions of others. If you haven't yet seen Rent, I recommend watching the live broadway dvd that was recently released (since rent is no longer on broadway).
No other road, no other way, no day but today...and the day is YOURs :)
Don't worry what tomorrow will bring your way, for tomorrow will have enough worries of it's own.
"I'd say you'll do your best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse."--Philippians 4:8 (The Message)
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you are usually right.
Just to do the best in my power to keep myself active, support myself and coach myself. And to try not to dwell on the past but live in the moment. Thanks. Have a great week, Chantilly
following the path of least resistance is what makes both men and rivers crooked.
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
It is my attitude at the beginning of a task that will determine the success.
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
Never regret anything, you can't change the past. You learn and move forward.
In every day and every way my life is getting better and better.
Yesterday is a canceled check, tommorrow is a promisary note, and today is a gift thats why its called the present
How can you expect, your life to change, if you dont change, yourself.
today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
it's the past, it's done, it's unchangable, move on.
dont care what you think as long as your thinking about me
It will all be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end.
I can not change the past but I am altering my present to modify my future
One Million "What if's?" don't equal "What is!" an " Action towards " is a step in the right directon
I am WORTH IT!
"I love and approve of myself. All is well."
Always calms the nerves & good self talk is great for the soul.
If I don't choose, my choice is already made.
If I don't act on behalf of my choice, what I really want becomes the slave of default.

"Do you really want what you say you do? If you really want what you say you do, then you need to be willing to put in the effort!"
Today is cake ready to be baked just add love and care and the right ingreadients and wala you have it.
Your mindset is open to the best day ever if you keep it open and appreciate the beauty in the creation of all that's around you...
Visualize and become what you want today,
don't look back and see what you already done. It's time to wonder into the unknown and enjoy each day as a new experience.
The choice it yours make it wisely!!!
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.
You work and work
For years and years
You're always on the go.
You never take a minute off,
Too busy making dough.
Someday, you say, you'll have your fun
When you're a millioniare.
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In some old rocking-chair.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
You're gonna take that ocean trip
No matter come what may.
You got your reservations
But you just can't get away.
Next year, for sure, you'll see the world,
You'll really get around;
But how far can you travel
When you're six feet underground?
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly a as wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
Get out and see the world...
You worry when the weather's cold,
You worry when it's hot.
You worry when you're doing well,
You worry when you're doing not.
It's worry, worry all of the time,
You don't know how to laugh.
They'll think of something funny
When they write your epitaph.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
Oh man. That song always gives me panic attacks. "You better enjoy it now -cuz you're going to get sick and die soon." Not the kind of motivation I need. Glad it works for you. Freaks me out...
The probably of getting what you want increases when you let go of your need to have it...
'The world is your oyster' ??? But I do not like oysters lol.. so I've changed it to
'The world is my peach and I want to sink my teeth right into it! '

a problem is you have 2 days to live, everything else is a challenge
I do enjoy "I am having a great day," however, I have since changed the "day is mine," to The World is Mine......that's my favorite..
Whatever happens is going to happen. You hold the power of how you let it effect you.

I also love the aforementioned gandhi quote, and of course the affirmations from tools!
I work as part of a team, but I try and repeat this mantra to myself every day:
"I am one person, but I am a one man wrecking-crew. Nothing is to hard, there is nothing that can stop me from getting the job done."
I work as part of a team, but I try and repeat this mantra to myself every day:
"I am one person, but I am a one man wrecking-crew. Nothing is to hard, there is nothing that can stop me from getting the job done."- I love myself as I am today and I am getting better every day.

I still use I am having a great day! it has been over 2 years and still doing it. i have others but this one gets all my energy everytime!
I choose today to not worry about the things I cannot change, but rather focus my energy on the one thing I have the power to change... ME!
I heard the phrase, "It will pass..." was a powerful affirmation and since have adopted it. It makes me feel better when an undesirable situation has come up.
"I love myself and I am getting better everyday!!!"
there is no end to the positivity of this one!!!!
sometimes the only opportunity is exercising self control.
Thanks Devyln
Every passing minute is a chance to turn it all around. - Penelope Cruz, in Vanilla Sky
My former bosswhen I worked at GameStop introduced "beat yesterday" to me. Seems very fitting not just in the work sense, but in every other area of life.
"Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not, it is not the end."
When I give negative energy, I receive energy.
( energy cannot be created or destroyed)
The walls of lack and delay now crumble away, and I enter my promise land under grace.
I am in control of me! I am in charge of making my goals a reality!!
No matter how hard it is to make that life altering change, remember that someone else is trying to make that same change somewhere and if you are successful they may be too. Be inspiring to someone!
Today is a great Day! I will enjoy it and focus on putting my goals into action!
it is only our mistakes that bring us to the place where we should have been all along.
"A man that can admit his mistakes is a man that has learnt from them"
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Your world, my world, and their world are three very different places.
"God, I offer myself to Thee--to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!"

"The power that the gospel presents to us is that despite the evil in me, despite the brokenness in me, I am still capable of doing something great with my life."
Your thoughts become your actions.
Your actions become your habits.
Your habits become your destiny.
This reminds me to think positively and believe I can.
The possibility I am creating for myself in my life is the possibility of being present.
My favorite affirmation is "I can do this." It reminds me that there are many people doing what I am doing, and it helps to snap me out of a negative mindset before it happens.
As more congruent I am with myself and others as less time I spend on things and thoughts which are not mine or me ;)
Note to self: I am doing the best that I can with what I have in this moment and that is all I can expect of anyone including me!
