Claire may not have Professor Xavier’s intelligence or Spiderman’s spider sense, but she is our superhero. Why? It’s just that Claire has the ability of saving us from the claws of despair, of frustration, of depression, of pessimism. No, she can’t read minds or turn back the hands of time. But you know what her secret weapon is? Positive words.

Affirmations or positive words are statements that Claire would make us repeat over and over again whenever we feel down or when doing a task. She says that positive words impress on the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action. Once consistently repeated with attention, conviction, interest and desire, these positive words can help you focus your mind, let you take charge, and invalidate pessimistic ideas. Here are a few of Claire’s positive words / phrases:

It’s as if Brett was born under a lucky star – and considering the fortune that fills his life, it sure is one heck of a lucky star! He has a good family, a wonderful set of friends, a stable and well-paid job and killer looks. He has everything that anyone would die for just to have. Ladies admire him and gentlemen want to be like him. But Brett’s fortune isn’t because of astrology or anything of the sort. He says that his secret lies in knowing the rules of attraction. When he told me about it, I initially thought that it was a hoax – especially when he told me that such could impact an individual’s overall life. But when he explained to me the following principles underlying the rules of attraction, I was convinced that he wasn’t just pulling my leg.

• We create our own reality. We attract to ourselves what we want and what we do not want through our thoughts and feelings. If we focus on hating our jobs, we will fail to see the satisfying point of our employment ergo we won’t have a happy work life.

• Be wary of having the not enough disposition. If we dwell on what we do not have or if we are too focus on the idea that what we have is too meager, it really won’t matter if we have a million bucks attached to our names, for us it will still be not enough. When we always think about the things in life that we are lacking, we end up creating a less than reality even when we should really be happy with the abundance that we have been given.

• The secret is to use the power of affirmation. If we get rid of the I-feel-sorry-for-myself mantra and do away with all those negative phrases that infest the human mind, we can attract good things. We must remember to break the habit of attracting whatever is negative which we unintentionally invite to our lives through our negative thinking.

• Evaluate. We should ask ourselves about what we really want and then gear our actions towards that.

• Believe. We should push doubt out of our lives by having faith that what we want can and will become ours.

• Receive and act. We should grab every opportunity that will take us a step closer to our goals.

Yes we can attract abundance in our lives – it is just a matter of knowledge coupled with the right attitude. The rules of attraction simply tell us that life is what we make it. Our choices and our mindset draw the line between success and failure. Furthermore, the rules of attraction remind us of the power of staying positive – a difficult task for anyone who gets easily discouraged when faced with failure and disappointment. But let us keep in mind that we have the power to attract abundance – so long as we know what we want, believe that we can get it and strive for it.
