Some of us also want to contribute, connect, and make an impact. These needs propel people to live out their life purpose, which gives them the opportunity to experience a truly exceptional life.
To be proficient at accomplishing these aspirations you need to have the right mindset. A way of thinking that promotes happiness, success, love, connectedness, contribution, and a lasting impression. Here are 18 things to tell yourself each day to influence your actions, so you can realize your ambitions and create the reality of your dreams.
1. I am surrounded by people who love and care for me.
When a person feels loved and supported, it frees them to be themselves and gives them the courage to explore and take chances.

Live in a love frequency by being a conduit of love. Everything you do — from work to play — can be inspired by the love held within you.
3. I am lovable.
You must believe that you are already that which you seek. You are love personified. Awaken to this truth.
4. I am everything I want to be. I am proud of how I conduct myself.
Claim success to be yours now by simply defining ‘success’ as you acting in accordance to your beliefs.

8. I am free to do anything I want.
Sometimes our thoughts are our main limitation. Nullify that with better thoughts and get to frying bigger fish.
9. I am in charge of my feelings. I choose to react with compassion at all times.
A bad day can be turned around with a change in perspective, a little laughter, and some sugar.
10. I am healthier and feel more alive each day.

Compassion is at the heart of anyone who is happy with themselves.
15. I cherish my relationships.
An old Turkish proverb says, “Shared joy is double the joy. Shared sorrow is half the sorrow.” Without relationships life would get lonely and arduous. Don’t forget to enjoy the people around you.

Your positive mindset is your true wealth and you can increase your riches easily by repeating and believing these 18 thoughts daily.
