3. 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.
4. • “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.”
5. • 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.
6. • 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.

10. • This declarations are meant to encourage you
to take control of the influences in your life.
