Pir Vilayat Khan
I have the power to create great abundance. I now claim that power, sense it growing and expanding within. I know that this power is the Life Force wishing to express itself through me. I welcome this living, loving energy into my life and know that I am being transformed in this moment. I choose to nurture this seed of faith within and to cultivate spiritual fruit in my life. Before I prayed, God has already answered, and I rejoice in the flow of energy, passion, goodness, and joy that overflows in my heart. I thank God that this is so.

We are a stream whose source is hidden. Always our being is descending into us from we know not whence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I ask and it is already given to me: pressed down, shaken together, overflowing, running over—life in abundance, love in the light of Divine love and light. My cup overflows, my barns and granaries are full. I release all fear of scarcity and lack, knowing that I am perfectly supplied by an endless flow of Divine energy. There is plenty for me and there is plenty to share with others. I rejoice in the gift of God’s gracious abundance.

For Years, I Suffered from Chronic Low Self-Esteem…Hello, I’m Karl Perera.
When I was younger, I was desperately shy. I had real problems with blushing, and not just “regular” blushing. Whenever I even thought of speaking to new people about anything, my whole head would turn beet red. I’m sure people could even see me blushing from behind my back.
Because of my inferiority complex, I couldn’t go out. Even shopping meant I would have to speak to people or make decisions with people watching. I hid myself away and felt like a real loser.
Becoming anti-social is the easiest way to lose friends and alienate even your family.
I had to conquer my low self esteem. I had no other option.
One day I made a decision to change, and I started to read everything I could about self help.
I wanted to be a speaker and an author. Seems odd, I know, however it was my lifelong dream. I saw other people standing up, making a difference, and doing it with an ease I couldn’t even fathom.
Why was it so difficult for me?
I realized then I needed to:
*Understand exactly why I felt as low as I did all the time – Where did it come from?
*Figure out why I was internalizing everything I perceived as negative – The way people looked at me, their comments, their actions… it was literally destroying me.
*Understand how much harm I was causing myself – Could my perception be wrong?
*Find effective ways to pause, recognize my negative behavior, and eliminate the obstacles I was creating for myself – I was the only one with the power to do it.
The Results?
Once I discovered the techniques which worked for me, my confidence grew and I began to see challenges as opportunities to move forward and succeed.
Can You Imagine How Your Life Would Change If You Had Sky-High Confidence and Self-Esteem?
..if you were confident enough to walk up to people and express yourself without feeling out of their league?
*Discover the right techniques to improve your self-esteem. Not just any techniques, the ones which actually work,
*Stop listening to Psycho-Babble and start solving the real issues,
*Recognize how having a tough childhood or internalizing your parents behavior and words may have severely affected you,
*Understand there are other reasons why your boss or your spouse seem to target you in every conversation,
*Most of all, give yourself permission to seek the help you need…

The Success Principles(TM): How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
Jack Canfield, cocreator of the phenomenal bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, turns to the principles he’s studied, taught, and lived for more than 30 years in this practical and inspiring guide that will help any aspiring person get from where they are to where they want to be.
The Success Principles™ will teach you how to increase your confidence, tackle daily challenges, live with passion and purpose, and realize all your ambitions. Not merely a collection of good ideas, this book spells out the 64 timeless principles used by successful men and women throughout history. Taken together and practiced every day, these principles will transform your life beyond your wildest dreams!
Filled with memorable and inspiring stories of CEOs, world-class athletes, celebrities, and everyday people, The Success Principles™ will give you the proven blueprint you need to achieve any goal you desire.
If there’s anyone qualified to write a self-help book on success, it’s Jack Canfield, who’s worked his way from scraping by as a teacher to holding a Guinness world record for having seven books simultaneously on The New York Times® Best Sellers list.
As a coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, he’s sold more than 80 million books, and now lives “in a beautiful California estate” with his days of dining on spaghetti and tomato paste long behind him. “All you have to do is decide what it is you want, believe you deserve it, and practice the principles in this book,” he says, and success is yours.
His advice is straightforward (examples: “reject rejection” and “surround yourself with successful people”), but rather derivative, with quotes from the likes of JFK, Colin Powell, Aldous Huxley, and fellow motivation author Napoleon Hill.Canfield’s definition of success is primarily monetary, and he includes plenty of anecdotes depicting average folks who saved themselves from the brink of bankruptcy after following his principles. He could tone down the braggadocio; readers don’t need to know that he’s stayed in resorts in Hawaii, Italy, Australia, and Morocco. Despite those gripes, his cheerleader-caliber enthusiasm should benefit anyone looking to improve their lot in life. –Erica Jorgensen
