I had the opportunity of taking part in a workshop, 5 Choices of extraordinary productivity, a Franklin Covey’s training. During the session, a lady shared a story about the affirmations that changed her life. At first, I thought to myself, this is something I can relate to because I have experienced its power. The story turned out to be touching and inspiring for me that I could not keep to myself but share with you.

This story inspired me and reinforced my will to practice affirmations.

The Untold Story of the Power of Affirmations
The Untold Story of the Power of Affirmations

It was about a young man who had been through great disappointment in his relationship that cost him so much. His girlfriend who meant the world to him left him for another man taking his money leaving him broke, devastated, and lost.

His performance at work was impacted negatively and it almost cost him his job. He hardly ate as eating was something he did most often with his girlfriend who left him.

He was madly in love with her and couldn’t accept it in his heart that she could hurt him so bad. No matter what anyone said to him he couldn’t find it in his heart to forgive her and let go.

One morning after a lot of struggle going to bed the night before, he decided to attempt the one thing he couldn’t. Something he knows within him that he could never do and it was “to forgive”.

He attempted to voice it out that he had forgiven her. The attempt was a failure, he couldn’t. So he summoned the courage to do something else not knowing it would transform his life. He changed his phone’s password into the words “i4giveyou”. Since he couldn’t forgive her or move on, the only thought he had was to write it down.

Each time he had to unlock his mobile phone, he entered the words i4giveyou. Weeks passed since he started unlocking his phone with those words and what he realized about his current state of mind amazed him. He felt relieved, at peace, free from the shackles of unforgiveness. A hindrance to his finding himself again and moving on. He had forgiven his ex-girlfriend and could move on with his life.

As tough as this may sound most people have lived for years holding a hurt, grudge they had against someone they once held in high esteem, trusted, or loved.

The lady who shared this story was inspired by the impact of positive affirmations that she decided to apply the same methodology as the young man. She made her password into the thing she wanted to have as though she already had it.

Ever since she has witnessed a great transformation in her life and that of her family. Her dream of moving to another country as an expert came into reality. This was before she moved to Budapest, Hungary as an Expat.

Choose Positive Affirmations

There’s great power in words of affirmation, be it positive or negative. Words have the power to reshape your thinking, your mindset, your heart, alter your reality and change the life of another person.

It’s amazing how simple things such as words spoken or written can have a tremendous impact and influence on our life. Yet most people neglect this conscious or unconsciously.

Positive affirmations are simple statements repeated over and over until you believe them. When you’re thinking things like, “I’m not going to be able to do this,” or “I’m going to fail,” or “I’m going to look like a fool,” replace them with affirmations: “I’m going to do the best I can,” or “This is a learning process,” or “Nobody is judging me.” Before public speaking, some people concentrate on an affirmation such as those mentioned below.

Here is a list of powerful affirmations from liveboldandbloom you can practice to reshape your life.

Confidence attracts greatness, do you believe that? If you do not, here is what I believe is the reason, doubt. It is a sneaky monster that crawls into your thoughts, making you lose faith in yourself, your ideas, your potential, and your abilities. This monster has led many people today to live less than their potential. They let doubt fill their thoughts, feeding off of them like a leach. I struggled with an internal enemy called doubt. This led to self-doubt ruling over me, I always thought only a few people could have such confidence that radiates around them. Some of my schoolmates in high school were awesome in just about anything they did. I thought they were born different with something that made them glow amidst their mates. I discovered that no successful person on their first day in the world said hey everybody; "I am born with confidence". No, they learned to be confident. You can learn to be super confident too. If like me, you thought confidence was only for a certain group of people to have, stop right now, and let go of that thought. Confidence isn't only for a few, it's for everyone. It is a luxurious brand that anyone no matter their status, background, or region can have. Confidence is the new cool. Nothing great has ever been achieved without confidence and belief in one's self. Have you ever noticed how a simple word can make you feel energized to accomplish just about anything? Simple words like quotes are powerful and capable of changing one's perception, and life, and help gain confidence. Reading a good set of quotes can teach you something that others have learned in a lifetime. I believe quotes can help remind you of how incredibly awesome you are and help you believe in yourself. I have gathered some quotes to remind you of how awesome you are. Confidence quotes to help you believe in yourself What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?– Eleanor Roosevelt Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it.Bruce Lee It is confidence in our bodies, minds, and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures  Oprah Winfrey If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.–Vincent Van Gogh Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.– Lucille Ball Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.— Golda Meir With the realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.– Dalai Lama 15 John Lennon Quotes On Love, Life, And Peace Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.– Venus Williams Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.— Peter T. Mcintyre A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.— Mark Twain Confidence is when you believe in yourself and your abilities, arrogance is when you think you are better than others and act accordingly.— Stewart Stafford We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?— Marianne Williamson Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. - Zig Ziglar With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world. - Dalai Lama We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies. - Roderick Thorp Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right. Henry Ford You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. - Michael Jordan To anyone that ever told you you’re no good … They’re no better.— Hayley Williams As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they’re yours.— Richard Bach If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.— T. Harv Eker We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.— Roderick Thorp Read more quotes like these: 26 Quotes About Laughter and Its Incredible Power 26 Quotes About Laughter and Its Incredible Power 25 Jack Ma Quotes to Motivate and Enrich Your Life
