"I organize all the knowledge I receive and I apply it towards the achievement of my Definite Major Purpose in life." TAGR, page 8, paragraph 4.

If you look up page 8, paragraph 4 in my reference edition of TAGR, you will find the following paragraph:

“This is not a novel.  It is a textbook on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences of hundreds of America’s most successful men.  It should be studied, digested, and meditated upon.   No more than one chapter should be read in a single night.   The reader should underline the sentences which impress him most.  Later, he should go back to these marked lines and read them again.  A real student will not merely read this book, he will absorb its contents and make them his own.   This book should be adopted by all high schools and no boy or girl should be permitted to graduate without having satisfactorily passed an examination on it.  This philosophy will not take the place of the subjects taught in schools, but it will enable one to organize and apply the knowledge acquired, and convert it into useful service and adequate compensation without waste of time.”

Here I have highlighted the specific sentence that inspired the affirmation.  The highlights and Power Affirmations aren't noted in TAGR (at least not yet), but in most cases it will be obvious specific part of the paragraph gave me the thought for the affirmation.  By comparing the two, it will give you more insight into my thinking and into the process of creating Power Affirmations yourself based on any material you read or hear.  Or any positive thought that happens to pop into your head.

4.  Create a Playlist for the Power Affirmations.  In order to take advantage of the repeat functions and to burn a CD, you need to copy the files into their own playlist.  Just select "New Playlist" from the File menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen and enter the name.  I recommend "Affirmations" that way it will be towards the top of your list of Playlists.  Now you can drag and drop whatever Power Affirmations you want to listen to--either all of them or just specific ones that are currently meaningful to you. 

5.  If you need it, burn a CD.  After you create a Playlist, and if you have a CD Read/Write drive on your computer, you can put in a blank disc and select the "Burn Disc" icon in the upper right hand corner of the iTunes program.  When you do this, you will have a CD of the affirmations that will play in any CD player.  This is great for people who don't have an iPod yet.

6.  Get the other Power Affirmation Recordings that will never be included in the podcasts (over 200).  Of course, I still recommend the Power Affirmation collection that I offer for sale at http://www.poweraffirmations.com/mp3files/.  The reason is that those Power Affirmations are organized around 6 key areas of your life that will help you condition your mind for success.  There are 200 Power Affirmations in those recordings that you can start to put to use right away.  And they are the Power Affirmations specifically highlighted in my free eBook on Power Affirmations.  They lay a solid foundation for making maximum use of the power affirmations in the podcasts.  Think of the podcasts as a way of sampling power affirmations.  Once you see for yourself the benefits you receive from listening to these podcasts, I believe you will also want to get the recordings.

7.  Tell your friends about the website and the Podcasts.    One of the best ways to help yourself is to help other people.  I can tell you from personal experience, I get huge benefits from creating these Power Affirmations and sharing them with people just like you.  Why?  Just listen to the recordings.  I am creating and using these Power Affirmations myself to create the realities I desire out of life.  I can't share them with you or anyone else without going through the thought process myself.  So every time I create a new power affirmation and then turn it into a recording, I'm planting new positive thoughts into my subconscious mind.  You will find that when you share this material with your friends, when you discuss it with them, you are also actually causing your subconsious mind to be further conditioned with these thoughts.  You are in the process of developing a "success consciousness" where your dominating thoughts are habitually about success.  Sharing these ideas with others is an important part of your personal development.  If you really don't want to share my website, that's okay.  Pick some other self-help information that you find valuable.  Just take action and do it now.

If you exercise your power of "word of mouse" right now, we can work together to make the world a better place--one person at a time.

If you improve your thoughts, you will improve your life.
