 The Power of Personal Declaration

is a living document that you modify

often – it represents your hope, goals, dreams
and listing of who you are at your core.
• “We have to realize that our lives could be
gone in a moment. There are no guarantees
that we will be here at this time next year.
Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don’t
complain. Don’t focus on what’s wrong. Be
grateful for the opportunity to experience
each day.”
• “When you go through a disappointment,
when you go through a loss, don’t stop on
that page. Keep moving forward. There’s
another chapter in front of you, but you have
to be willing to walk into it.”
• So often we accept the declarations that
others had made concerning our own lives,
well-being or fate.
• We must not give our power away to others
by accepting there declarations concerning
our affairs.
• From birth, we are often told what we are
going to be.
• “ you will not amount to anything just like
your mother and father?”is a dangerous
declaration.
• In order to counter act this and all of the
negative declarations with their destructive
potential, one most consciously replaced
them with one’s on declarations.

• You are now in control of setting into action

what you really want to occur.
Declarations Concerning your Life:
I declare:
that I’m totally free from addictions.
that I will survive any attempts of others to
control my life.
that I am free in my mind, body, and emotions
that I am free to set goals and reach them.
that I am loving individual with the capacity to
give love.
that I am a child of God with all rights and
privileges thereof.
that I will contribute to the welfare of others.
that I will an ambassador of goodwill to all I
meet on the journey.
that I will be a good example to others to
follow
that I will help all that I can to reach their
goals in.
that I will speak words of encouragement to
others.
that I will find the goodness in life and focus
on it.
that I will not succumb to the negative
influences to others.
that I will read my information that will
encourage my personal, and spiritual growth.
that I will commit to being the best I can be.
• This declarations are meant to encourage you
to take control of the influences in your life.

• They are suggestions as to what positive you

can speak about your own life instead of
accepting whatever has been said about you
in the past.
• Don’t be discouraged if you don’t reach your
goals in overnight. Just remember that even a
small stream of water will crack concrete
eventually!
Thank you
