If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

—Henry Ford (1863–1947)

INTRODUCTION

As industrialist Henry Ford pointed out, if you think you are capable of doing something, the odds are that you will try as hard as you can, you won't give up easily, and eventually you will do it. If you think you cannot do something, however, it's almost certain that you won't be able to do it. In both cases, what you believe without question to be true about your capabilities, how the world works, and what you can do about it guides virtually all of your actions and, equally important, your inaction.

What we believe, however, does not have to remain etched in the stone of a mind that is hardened to change. Our beliefs can and should evolve according to our experiences, of course, but also with a good deal of our conscious direction, allowing us to move through life like a car on one of Mr. Ford's assembly lines, adding to our core beliefs what we learn from experience after experience, keeping in mind the goal of arriving at the end of the conveyor belt of life a unique (unlike Mr. Ford's cars), complete, powerful, and happy person.

Of course, this rarely happens, at least for most of us. The most successful people have a core belief system that works for them. They know they are going to succeed and they try and try again and keep on trying until they do, never taking no for an answer from anyone, including themselves.

Those without such self-confidence and a strong belief system wonder how people who do not seem any smarter than they are accumulate all that wealth and power. They marvel at how this or that unattractive person is beloved by or at least dating someone so beautiful. They eternally wonder why some people succeed and some, namely, them, fail. This book not only answers those questions; it can show you how to regain control and develop your core beliefs in a logical, fun, and scientifically based way that I evolved in response to my difficult early life. I call my technique Quantum Affirmations (for reasons that I explain in Chapter 2).

Let's start by defining what an affirmation actually is, or, to put it more precisely, who an affirmation is: You are an affirmation. You are what you affirm. We've already discussed how your core beliefs affect your ability to get the job done and interact with the world, but that is only the beginning. You are not just a unique and miraculously conscious collection of atoms, molecules, cells, and tissues of flesh and bone. You are you and not me or anyone else because you define yourself and differentiate yourself with the precise mix of what you affirm.

And what exactly do you affirm to be true? Do you believe in God or the Goddess? Do you believe you can get what you want in life and still be kind or do you think you have to trust no one and be ruthless? Do you think there is ultimate truth or do you think everything is a lie? Do you accept boundaries on what constitutes proper behavior or do you think everything is permitted? You define yourself to the world and even to yourself by what you believe to be true about everything under the Sun and the Moon. You are an affirmation, and what you believe is an affirmation, too.

What do you affirm to be true about yourself? I'm not talking about what you tell other people; I'm talking about what you believe in your heart and soul. You can find out what that is by taking a dispassionate listen to a small sample of the thousands of thoughts coursing through your consciousness every waking second. I'm not talking about your inspired moments, your triumphs, your loving feelings for those you care about (when they're living up to your expectations); I'm talking about the general tone of your personal thought parade.

As the Greek philosopher Socrates said, The unexamined life is not worth living. It is well worth it to become aware of your most persistent beliefs and the tone of your thoughts about who you are, how people feel about you, how life is treating you, and all of the other things that you affirm to be true about you, other people, and the outer world. If a brief toe-dip into your stream of consciousness reveals that you're really not that self-confident or happy about yourself and where your life is now and, more to the point of this book, where your life is apparently headed, take heart. You're reading the right book.

This is a book about affirmations—my kind of affirmations: Quantum Affirmations. We've learned that you are an affirmation because of what you are affirming with your inner thoughts every minute you're awake, but the kind of affirmation this book is about is the kind that's been developed over the years as a kind of antidote to the self-defeating, paralyzing affirmations most of us have coursing through our brains. Negative affirmations are thoughts we have running through our heads like, I can't do that because... and That can't happen because..., as if we, who can't do that because of...whatever, are somehow able to know beyond doubt that this or that can't happen because of...whatever. We are certain that we are uncertain, positive that we are negative about ourselves. How did things get like that inside our heads?

Life can be great, but life is often harsh. Even with the most well-meaning of parents, most of us don't get the kind of nurturing support that we need throughout our lives but that is most crucial for us to receive when we are children. All too many of us have absorbed the critical voices we heard in the past trying to manipulate us into behaving the way they thought we should. Many of the people who spoke to us that way were raised in the comparatively dark ages of the twentieth century by people who—like their own parents, who were even harsher—thought that children sometimes needed to be scolded and belittled to teach them how to behave correctly and best prepare them for dealing with the cold, cruel world.

Well, the world may indeed be cold and cruel, but it can also be wonderful. Surprisingly, it is usually both of these things at the same time, though most of us are usually so pulled by the pressures of modern life that we can see things as only either good or bad. Even more surprising is the fact that what often determines whether we see the world as good or bad is—you guessed it—what we affirm to be true. Sometimes we are like disciplined soldiers who accept without question their rank in the social hierarchy and the orders they receive from their superiors because they are certain that is how the world works; sometimes we're like frightened rabbits who are terrified that they don't know anything, even which way to run.

I firmly believe that no matter what we affirm and no matter how crazily we behave, it all makes sense to some part of our being. The fears that keep us from doing things that might benefit us but at which we might fail or for which we might be judged harshly; the behaviors that keep us isolated from relationships that might hurt us or make us feel overly dependent on others; the financial problems that keep us in the social station we are comfortable with and that are the result of our aversion to risk or our addiction to it; escapist behavior of all kinds that makes us feel safe or cut off from our fears and pain—all of our crazy affirmations make sense to some part of us that wants to keep us safe and pain-free. The trouble is that those crazy affirmations harden our lives like a plaster cast around our limbs, preventing us from walking where we want to go or reaching for the things we want and know that we should be able to have.

You cannot stop affirming things inside your mind; it's who you are, after all. You can, however, make an effort to consciously affirm what you want to be true. If you don't, it's like letting go of your car's steering wheel and expecting it to drive you where you want to go. Ah, so now you can see why things have gone the way they have!

This brings us back to the third definition of what an affirmation is. As we've discussed, first, you are an affirmation; second, what you believe to be true about yourself and the world is an affirmation. The third type of affirmation is shown in the kind of positive affirmations that I've written and put into a series of five affirmation decks illustrated by my incredibly beautiful—on all levels—wife and artistic collaborator, the artist and fashion designer and most positive person I know or know of, Amy Zerner.

As Amy's co-author of these five decks of affirmation training cards and several dozen books that incorporate instructions for using empowering affirmations to improve one's decision-making ability and thereby better attain one's goals, I'm always surprised to hear people express any doubt about whether affirmations can have any effect on a person's daily life.

There's no doubt that negative affirmations work (see Henry Ford's quote at the beginning of this introduction if you've forgotten why). In fact, each time I've written on the topic of affirmations I've fairly jumped out of my seat trying to get people to understand that the problem is not that they don't know how to do affirmations; the problem is that they're already too good at doing them—the negative ones.

Positive affirmations, like the one I call my Master Affirmation,

I have all that I need to get what I want

are designed to be said repeatedly to ourselves, either aloud or in our heads, in the hope that they will mitigate or completely counteract the negative affirmations I mentioned previously (I can't do that because... and That can't happen because...) the way antacid tablets counteract acid indigestion.

The connection between what we affirm to be true and the life we experience is so strong that even the most basic affirmation techniques can and sometimes do produce measurable, positive changes in the lives of those who are sincere and regular practitioners of positive affirmations. They are the exception, however, and not the rule. This book and my Quantum Affirmations technique are designed to be like prescription-strength antacid medicine to give you
