I overcome difficulty through the power of right attitude.
Children get excited by the challenge of swimming in the deep end of a pool or climbing to the top of a playground tower. They expect to overcome any difficulties they may encounter. Their faith in a successful outcome--their right attitude--empowers them to reach their goal.
Today I look upon any challenge as an opportunity to demonstrate God at work in my life. Through the power of faith, I am already well on my way to success. I maintain a divine expectation. Because I am one with God, I am capable of great feats and accomplishments. I overcome any difficulty through the power of right attitude and see success as a stepping-stone to my highest good.
Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children.--Revelation 21:7

Vision
I hold a vision of peace, love and harmony for myself and the world.
What is my vision for my life? What do I hope to accomplish? Where do I see myself in the near future and in the years ahead?
As I think about the vision I hold for myself, I give thanks to God. I give thanks that my future is a clean slate. It is mine to plan, mine to choose and mine to live. What a freeing feeling this is!
Right now, I sit in the quiet of prayer and open my mind and heart to God. I release my past, give thanks for the present moment and look forward to the hopes and dreams of my future. Day by day, my vision becomes clearer and my faith becomes stronger as I let go and trust God to guide me forward.
See, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare.--Isaiah 42:9

Guided by Love
I am guided by the love of God.
I am immersed in the flow of God's love that continually guides and blesses me. It is my guiding presence, strengthening me in mind and body and helping me be a greater expression of peace and love in the world.
Just as a leaf effortlessly flows along on a river, gently floating around and over any obstacle in its path, I effortlessly flow along on the river of life. As I relax and allow myself to be guided by the love of God, I experience the gentle peace of knowing that regardless of appearances, I am being divinely led along the path of life that is right for me. Led by the love of God, I learn the lessons I am meant to learn and reach the spiritual understanding that only I can experience for myself.
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.--Proverbs 4:23

Ability
I am confident in my ability to succeed.
I am naturally drawn to the idea of improving my life and discovering greater meaning and purpose. Today I have the courage to step out of my comfort zone and turn my desire for improvement into action. Perhaps there is something I have always dreamed of doing. God has given me the tools that I need, and I am confident of my ability to succeed.
I sense divine timing--I can do this now; I have all that I require; I am ready! This is the call of Spirit and it is a precious testament to Holy Spirit working in me.
Empowered by my faith in God, I answer the call. I move into new circles, stepping forward to new breakthroughs. I am confident that with every step, Spirit within lovingly supports and guides me. I have the ability, the faith and the confidence to succeed.
They replied, "We are able."--Mark 10:39

Understanding
My understanding of Truth deepens and directs my life.
My understanding of the truth has changed over time. I now see that there is ultimate Truth--the Truth of God--and there is my understanding of this Truth. Since "my truth" is subject to my perception at any moment, it changes as I grow in spiritual awareness.
Daily I am given opportunities to grow. Often, deeper understanding comes from simply listening--listening without judgment, without feeling a need to defend a position or change another's point of view. As I listen to others share their thoughts and feelings and as I attune to God in prayer and meditation, I find greater truth to guide my life. Through my spiritual unfolding, I move closer to discerning the Truth of God.
For the Lord searches every mind, and understands every plan and thought.--1 Chronicles 28:9

Prosperity
I have all the time, energy and money needed to do what is mine to do.
True prosperity is not found in the outer world, nor is it determined by the amount of money we possess. True prosperity comes from the wisdom that God is blessing us at all times and in all ways.
Prosperity is not something I have to seek; it is already here, waiting to be discovered. I find prosperity by having faith that God provides for me in every needed way.
Prosperity must be cultivated on the inside. As I begin to understand the power of God within me, it is as if I have inherited millions. I am rich in all ways and enjoy lasting abundance in all areas of my life--my health, wealth and relationships. Mere possessions can never replace the joy I feel when I am filled with the presence of God.
Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Joy
Centered in God, I joyfully allow my good.
I am joyful even as I feel the need for something more in my life. Whether I desire financial abundance, a healthy body or a closer walk with God, I know with complete faith and trust that it is now coming into being. I'm willing to experience the joyful stage of waiting in the creative process. My life is always expanding, so I choose to be joyful while anticipating my highest good!
I put my mind on God and appreciate the continuous creative process of asking and receiving. I am deeply grateful as I receive the blessings of answered prayer. Every day is a miracle, filled with opportunities to give and to receive. In joyful awareness of God, I am open and receptive to my greatest good.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.--John 15:7

Service
I offer my service to people in need.
In our increasingly interconnected world, there is a vast spectrum of experiences at any given moment. We are all part of the human family, and when our brothers and sisters suffer, we suffer as well. What affects one family member affects us all.
If we are unsure about how to help someone in need, we look to God for guidance. We might be called to volunteer at a local nursing home, donate books to a library, mentor school children or send money to a worthy charity. We choose activities that resonate with our hearts and match our talents and resources. Today we begin the cycle of giving. Serving fellow members of our human family brings joy and fulfillment, for we know we are participating in truly sacred work.
This is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.--1 John 3:11

Let Go, Let God
I open to the mystery of how my good is coming to me.
God is doing a mighty work in and through me. When I allow my own preconceived agenda to direct my life, I may be limiting the very potential I am trying to realize. As I let go of the need to control every outcome, I open the door to my greater good.
I see myself prosperous and peaceful, living life fully in loving, nurturing relationship with others. I let go of declaring exactly how this manifests, because I know that the possibilities for good in my life far exceed my imagination. My faith in God allows my life to unfold in amazing ways. As I let go and let God, magnificent things happen. With gratitude and trust, I am open to receive my good.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.--Psalm 34:4

Healing
God renews every cell of my body.
Every life has its ups and downs. Sometimes I am alive with vibrant energy, and other times, as I experience upset or illness, I feel less than my best. In such challenging times, I take a moment to remember the healing power of God.
I imagine my physical body filled with the healing, loving light of God. I give over to God all that concerns me and envision each cell renewed. Every cell of my being is alive with the energy of God.
By shifting my thoughts to my higher power, I feel instantly connected. I envision radiant health in my body this very moment. I feel stronger and more alive, renewed and energized.
Your eye is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light; but if it is not healthy, your body is full of darkness.--Luke 11:34

Expect Good
I step confidently into each new experience, expecting only good.
Every day offers a variety of encounters and experiences. Often I find my experience mirrors my expectations. If I begin with fear or dread, I often have an unpleasant experience. If I am looking forward to what's next, anticipating a new adventure, I often have a rewarding experience.
Since I get to choose my thoughts, I choose to expect good. And why wouldn't I expect good? The indwelling Spirit is my constant companion. Even in the face of difficult circumstances, Spirit does not fail. I receive wisdom and guidance through divine ideas. I receive strength and energy through the power of Spirit within me. I am fully supported. In faith, I expect only good in my life.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Do not fear, I will help you."--Isaiah 41:13

Success
I enjoy my life's journey, and I am successful.
What does success mean to me? As I consider this question, I think of the story of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise moved slowly along his path, enjoying his journey and the animals he met along the way. In contrast, the hare sped along, paying little attention to his surroundings, eventually falling asleep, and completely missing out on the joy of the journey.
I choose to enjoy my life's journey, experience exciting adventures and meet new people along the way. I am not preoccupied with material gains or outward demonstrations of success. I measure success by the blessings I give and receive. True success comes from Spirit. At one with the indwelling Spirit, I am successful.
David had success in all his undertakings; for the Lord was with him.--1 Samuel 18:14

Determination
With Spirit as my guide, I do what is mine to do.
At times I may feel the need to proceed with caution, perhaps concerned that my actions might lead to less than desirable results. However, when I feel led by Spirit, I can be more deliberate and forthright in my actions. Some of my greatest accomplishments have come from determination to do what God was guiding me to do.
The simple act of deciding sets the universe in motion. Spirit provides me with the ideas and means to achieve great things. Once I have decided that Spirit is my guide, my way is made clear. I move beyond fears and limitations and have the resolve and determination to do what is mine to do.
You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.--Job 22:28
