Situations can seem impossible from a personal point of view, and I broke free from that. Proved my impossible situation possible. Grew into a person I never knew I could be. “When you’re brave enough to live in your truth- quirks, insecurities, fears and all- you carve out paths for others. You inspire the same kind of freedom, the same desire for something real. What a gift you give to the world by being yourself.” – Scott Stabile “I am so proud of myself. You can be too”

Drive Yourself Successful: 11 Inner States To Personal Empowerment

The purpose of this book is to empower YOU to take the wheel of life and become an assertive driver by learning how to transform adversity into high-grade fuel on YOUR journey toward success.

  Drive Yourself Successful: 11 Inner States to Personal Empowerment offers you a driver’s view of what keeps your gear shift stuck in park on the road of life. Author Rachel Lynn illustrates what keeps you from setting goals and accelerating toward them and challenges you to realize that you hold the key to your own life experiences.

  Following the analogy of driving your car, Rachel helps you identify items stored in your trunk that weigh you down emotionally and keep you from moving forward. She supplies you with crucial tools to carry with you in case you break down or run out of gas; demonstrates how thoughts serve as your life GPS; assists you in developing a clear vision for the future steering you away from focusing on what is in the rear-view mirror; educates you on how to regain your spark, embrace detours and prevent them from turning into roadblocks, and when to stay in your own lane by setting personal boundaries and not comparing yourself to others.

  Make a wrong turn? Rachel challenges you to recognize when it is time to change gears and go in a different direction while helping you develop an internal sense of self-confidence and motivation to get behind the wheel.

  This book draws from others real life experiences to challenge you to closely examine what lies underneath the hood of your car in regard to your thinking and personal beliefs and how you can redirect your thoughts to accelerate toward the life you desire.

Affirmations: The Truth About Affirmations, Why They Are Not Stupid, and How to Use Them

Affirmations: The Truth About Affirmations, Why They Are Not Stupid, and How to Use Them If you think of Stuart Smalley saying “I’m good enough. I’m smart enough…” when you hear the word “affirmations,” you are not alone. It’s a funny skit, but it has dominated our popular notion of what affirmations are, who uses them, and how they actually work. Affirmations are not stupid—like the title suggests—and this book sets the record straight. Organized into small chapters, which each illustrate the deeper meaning and purpose behind an affirmations practice, this book lays out a game-plan for how to start using your own thoughts to change your life. Put simply, affirmations are ideas, phrases, and words that we repeat to ourselves about the way things are. We do this consciously and unconsciously, internally and externally, all day long. These internal messages guide our decisions, our relationships, and our concepts of self, who we are, and who we can be. Whether these messages are true or not doesn’t matter nearly as much as whether we believe them or not. This is why someone who is intelligent can believe that they are stupid, or why someone who is very personable can believe that they are awkward—it’s not so much what “is” that counts, instead it’s what is believed. And, our beliefs create our perceptions. What we believe shapes our world. What we perceive matters because it tells us what to look for. And when we look for something in the world, we are more likely to find it. By changing the thoughts we think, we change our reality. Developing an affirmations practice is the first step. Written by Zach Carlsen, a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach who has helped countless people transform their lives from the inside out, this book guides the reader step-by-step through the process of opening up to these big ideas in ways that work.
