I love reading all types of books and motivational ones are a great way to de-stress at the end of the day or first thing in the morning before working. They set me in the right mindset and when I read a great mini story that resonates with me, I throw my worries away!
Joel Osteen is known for his wonderful stories and motivational speaking. When I learned there was a new book coming out from him, I was looking forward to adding it to my review list. Here are some thoughts about this beautiful book.

Can two words give you the power to change your life? Yes they can! In the pages of his new book, bestselling author Joel Osteen shares a profound principle based on a simple truth.
Whatever follows the words “I am” will always come looking for you.
So, when you go through the day saying:
“I am blessed”…blessings pursue you.
“I am talented”…talent follows you.
“I am healthy”…health heads your way.
“I am strong”…strength tracks you down.

My Thoughts: It is easy to get into negative thinking. I try and stay positive but we all fail at some point. I used positive reinforcement statements when I first started my weight loss journey. It was the only thing that kept me going. I would write them down every day for 30 days. I am going into my 7th month of success and I know I would not have made it this long without that solid start.
This book shows you how to use positive statements in your daily life. It is broken into different affirmations and stories attached to each one. Examples are:
I Am Focused
I Am Prosperous
I Am Victorious
I Am Generous
I Am Secure
…and many more
This is a big book with over 250 pages of beautiful words and messages to keep you on the path of positive thinking and powerful personal development.
I love this book! I have been reading one section a day and love adding the I Am statements to my thinking for positive results.
If you enjoy motivational topics or know someone that needs this book, you need to check it out! What a perfect gift this holiday season too. I love Joel’s work and look forward to every publication he offers!

It’s amazing the power of thought. Thinking, writing it down, and saying it all make you physically aware of that attribute and start seeing it and feeling it. While it’s easy to get down and have negative thoughts like you said, they can also be turned around. He is an amazing speaker with some very thought-provoking, genuine ideas. Good for you on the weight loss! Congratulations.
This is one book that I would also love to have on CDs or DVD. I always try to be optimistic and I beleive In The power of positive thinking. Therefore, I am sure this book would help me reinforce that way of thinking and acting.
I have one of his books on CD (I have a CD player in my car) and one of his other hard cover books, so look forward to checking this one out.
