I do believe in affirmations. They are valuable -- as long as you affirm the truth, because it says in ancient scripture, "The truth will set you free." Free to do what? Amend your errors and pick up your discipline. That's what the truth is for, to help us amend our errors and pick up the disciplines for life change. That's what the truth is for. So, I do believe in affirming the truth. So, if your broke the best thing to say is "I am broke." Put that up on your refrigerator where you can see it everyday. If you need a little additional affirmation you just put up there, "I'm 40 and broke." That's enough to turn your life around. It says "Hey, something is wrong. Somewhere I have messed up." If you'll start with that, it's called the process of life-change -- and it doesn't matter how small the process is to start, one discipline starts it, and one discipline feeds another and another and the next thing you know you've got in this whole cycle in an upward positive motion. It's called life change, income change, health change, relationship with your family change, equities unprecedented that you can have in numbers that would stagger the imagination -- if you do not curse what's available and start amending what's possible to get the results that you want. I don't think I could put it in any better way.
