Affirmations are goals that, when imagined, visualized and believed in, do come true! They are the recognition of your rights and your claim on them. Affirmations give you permission to grow, to change, to move up and create a better life. They are a means of freeing yourself from others' opinions, feelings and beliefs about you.
