“Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to help, the desire to serve.”

-- Marianne Williamson

After many years of being battered by society's image of the ‘perfect’ form, not just for females but for everything else as well, I have found the best affirmations for me are one word affirmations, such as 'peace', 'love' and 'harmony'. This removes the tendency to concentrate on the 'I' or the self, which makes the affirmation self-serving – something I attempt to avoid.

When I say these powerful words, I see them not only directed to myself, but also to the millions of other souls I am connected to. It makes it far more rewarding to include all. And one word can affect the entire universe. That's a pretty amazing thing for one person to do, don't you think?
