W it located within you (which is an interesting ques-

tion in itself); but what is your mind focused on
right now? Exactly where is it?
I learned a long time ago that my mind will go wherever I
aim it. This shouldnt be any surprise to you. As I explained in
the movie The Secret, the Law of Attraction states that you will
get more of whatever you focus on. For exam-
ple, focus on lack and you get more lack.
T Focus on good and youll get more good.

the right questions. Ask the wrong question and you can stay
stuck in the mud. Ask the right question and you can see choic-
es you never noticed before. Its all in how you operate your
own mind.
Noah is an expert in this area. Ive known him for years now.
I first heard of Noah when a reader of some of my own books
said I needed to check him out. I did, and liked what I saw.
Then he came to visit me at my estate one day. We had an
exhilarating afternoon. Noahs sincerity and boyish curiosity
about lifes mysteries, as well as his humbleness about his dis-
covery of the right question, kept me engaged throughout the
few hours we spent together. We became fast friends and
remain so today.
Noah comes from his heart and sincerely wants to awaken
people to their own inner power.
And he does it through the magic of a question.
Not just any question, but a question designed to awaken
something miraculous within you easily, naturally, and play-
fully.
I wonder how many miracles you will experience while
reading this book?
Enjoy!

How This Book Was Written and Why
HOW THIS BOOK

WAS WRITTEN AND WHY
D id you ever notice how the best ideas come

to you in the shower?
It happens all the time youre minding your own business,
holding the shampoo bottle when suddenly, it hits you.
The idea thats going to change everything.
The solution to the problem youre facing.
The answer to the question youve been asking.
And it was right in front of you all along...
This book tells the story of what can happen to you when
something like that happens to you!
April, 1997. A crisp spring morning like any other in New
England. I was living in a dorm room at the college where I was
a religious studies major.
The dorm room itself was sizable T
enough, in that, simply by standing in the
middle of the room, I could touch the walls
At that
on both sides. point, I
At that point in my life as a divorced realized that
30-year-old religious studies major living in something
a tiny dorm room of a baroque New
England college I realized that something was wrong
was wrong, amazingly wrong, with my life. with my life.
T

I had been studying self-help books since I was a little boy,

having pulled Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and
Influence People off the shelf at age seven. (A well-meaning
editor told me to leave that story out of one of my previous
books, because she told me no one would believe it!) Yet some-
thing was missing. Something was gnawing at me, telling me
that the answer Id been seeking was somewhere out there
that I just had to keep looking for it.
Then, The Shower happened.
The night before, Id been looking around my diminutive
dorm room and realized that I had posted lots of sayings or
affirmations around the room to make myself feel better;
things like, I am happy, healthy and wealthy and I am good
enough.
Funny, but for some reason, I never quite believed what I
had spent so much time saying to myself.
So, on the morning of The Shower, I was asking myself
some simple but profound questions. Questions like:
If I keep saying these affirmations and have been saying
them over and over for so long, why dont I believe them?
If Ive been saying positive statements to myself for years,
how come I still dont feel good about myself ?
And: There must be a better way to get myself to believe
something good about me. But what is it?
Thats when it hit me. (No, not the soap.)
I realized that the human brain is always asking and search-
ing for answers to questions. In that moment, I realized that

How This Book Was Written and Why
thought itself is the process of asking and searching for the

answers to questions.
If thats true, I reasoned, then a simple question formed nat-
urally in my mind a simple question that changed everything.
The question was this:
If human thought is really the process of asking and
searching for answers to questions, then why are we going
around making statements we dont believe?
I couldnt think of a good answer to that question.
Thats when everything changed for me and for my tens of
thousands of Students (The Faithful) around the globe whove
since learned how to apply what I discovered in The Shower.
Youll learn what happened next and how you can benefit
from my discovery in the pages that follow.

breaking book was written for you, if you:

Top 10 Ways to Get the Most From This Book
TOP 10 WAYS TO GET

THE MOST FROM THIS BOOK
A book should be luminous, not voluminous.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
1. Read it through all at once.

This book is short on purpose. I know youre busy. Thats
why I designed it to fit easily in your purse or briefcase. You
wont find any complex psychological theories here (well, just
one but I explain it pretty quickly and its easy to understand).
2. Set the book down and wonder.

Once youve read it through the first time, put it down for a
while. Take a walk. Let ideas come to you.
3. Highlight the passages that have special meaning to

you.
Did a certain phrase or question bring up strong feelings in
you? Underline or highlight those passages so you can refer to
them later. Also, write the date next to the text youve highlight-
ed, so that each time you revisit this book, youll see just how
far youve come.

4. Use the questions in this book to guide you,

but dont feel limited by them.
In Chapter 3, youll learn how to create empowering ques-
tions of your own. Remember, you are creating your life right
now by the questions youre asking why not make them work
in your favor?
5. Teach this technique twice.

We all learn better when we teach.
T Research suggests that when you teach this
We learn method at least twice in the next 48 hours
once to your loved ones and once to your
better business colleagues not only will you per-
when sonally be better able to apply this teaching,
youll also be socially committed to the
we teach. teaching, which will make it that much hard-
T er for you to go back to the old, disempower-
ing way of thinking.
6. Allow the method to be as simple as it is.

Many of our Students at my seminars feel a little embar-
rassed, because sometimes it doesnt feel like youre doing any-
thing!
Yes, you often need to work hard and sacrifice to get what
you want. But consider that many of the most important things
in the world love, peace, serenity often appear, not because
we work hard at them, but because we allow them.

Top 10 Ways to Get the Most From This Book
7. Yet, dont be fooled by how easy this method appears.

The Faithful my tens of thousands of Students with whom
Ive shared The Afformations Method have told me that this
process has changed their lives in ways both immediate and
long-lasting.
But just because its easy doesnt mean you dont have to do
anything. You WILL have to change many of the things youve
been thinking and saying to yourself, perhaps for most of your
life.
The Afformations Method will work just as well for you as it
has for The Faithful, if you trust yourself and trust the Method.
8. Do the exercises in the book.

You cant do 20 push-ups merely by reading a book about
how to do it. You have to roll up your sleeves and do it. Youll
find that the benefits of doing the simple exercises I prescribe
will far outweigh the pain of having done them. Really.
9. Write and share your experiences with us.

I love to read your success stories! Write and share them
with me. My staff and I are also here to help any time you have
questions. Just visit SuccessClinic.com for more information.
10.Finally, remember your job on Earth is to serve others

and be blessed in the process.

As you bless others, the blessings will return to you, too.

Theres plenty to go around, and through The Afformations
Method, youll learn how to let abundance manifest in your
own life.
Share the gift of YOU with others, and watch your own life
and the lives of those around you change for the better...for
good!

Why Traditional Affirmations Dont Always Work As Advertised
Chapter 1.
WHY TRADITIONAL
AFFIRMATIONS
DONT ALWAYS WORK
AS ADVERTISED
Every sentence I utter must be understood
not as an affirmation, but as a question.
Niels Bohr, Nobel Prize winning physicist
ave you ever wanted to change your life? If you want
H more control over your business, more money to

enjoy the fruits of your labor, or more freedom to do
the things you really want to do, the answer is almost certainly
yes.
Well, if you wanted to change your life, what have you tried
to do differently? If youre like many people, you may have
tried:
Beginning a new diet/exercise program
Reading self-help books
Listening to self-improvement CDs or tapes
Working on your communication skills
Writing your goals

Trying to get support from your spouse

Writing or saying affirmations
Hey, whats that last one! A great many of us have tried
using affirmations to change our lives but the questions is:
why?
Because thats what a lot of very successful people have told
you to do. For decades, many very successful people have built
fortunes persuading you and me and millions of others about
the importance of using affirmations to change your life.
The second question we should be asking when it comes to
affirmations is: do they really work?
The answer is: sometimes.
Wouldnt it be helpful to know what actually makes affir-
mations work and what makes them sometimes NOT work?
HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS

Consider this: the human mind has created every work of
art, poetry, science, religion, philosophy, mathematics, history,
and romance that has ever existed. Here are just a few of the
things you can do with your wonderful mind:
Arrange, blueprint, chart, construct, create, design, devise,
discover, dream up, engineer, evoke, fabricate, fashion, form,
frame, generate, hatch, imagine, improvise, invent, lead,
manipulate, make up, mastermind, originate, produce, pro-
voke, plan, plot, prepare, rig, scheme, shape, spark, think,
throw together, whip up, work out.

Isnt that amazing? And you can do all that before breakfast!
We often think of ourselves as being static, fixed, unchang-
ing beings: I am what I am and thats that. But think a new
thought for a moment. Have you ALWAYS been that way? Were
you the way you are now when you first learned to walk...first
learned to ride a bicycle...went to your first day of
school...opened your first bank account...went on your first
date...had your first child?
All of these stages in life meant one thing: CHANGE. You
had to accept a new reality when you went from crawling to
walking...from being dependent on your parents to being inde-
pendent...from working for someone else to starting your own
business!
So your life really is the process of changing from one set of
circumstances to another (hopefully better) set of circum-
stances.
Now, heres where it gets interesting...
WHAT THE TRADITIONAL SUCCESS

TEACHERS TOLD YOU
What is an affirmation? Simply put, an affirmation is a

statement of something youd like to be true in your life.
William James, often called the father of modern psycholo-
gy, has been widely quoted as saying, The greatest discovery
of my generation is that anyone can alter their lives by altering

their attitudes of mind. Whats rarely pointed out, however, is

that since William James died in 1910, that means several gen-
erations have had the chance to alter their lives by changing
their thoughts.
Your thoughts are very literal seeds
that you plant every minute of every hour
T
of every day, whether youre aware of it Your
or not. These thought-seeds are planted thoughts are
(whether or not youre aware of them) in
the fertile soil of Infinite Intelligence, seeds that
which simply takes your thought-seeds you plant
and hands them back to you as Your Life.
every
You would think, then, with the mil-
lions of self-help books published that minute of
support this notion, that by now wed all every day,
know how to change our lives simply by
changing our attitudes of mind.
whether
All you have to do is look around you

to see that, unfortunately, thats not exact- it or not.
ly the case. Yet. T
The question is...
Why not?
WHAT TRADITIONAL SUCCESS

TEACHERS FORGOT TO TELL YOU
Lets say youre having trouble with money and youd like to

change that. (Actually, the only trouble with money is that

you have some, and everyone else has all the rest!) And lets
say that youve been raised on the traditional method just
described, which says that in order to change your life, you
must first change your thoughts.
Makes sense so far. You know and realize the truth of the
statement, As you sow, so shall you reap, the fact that
thoughts are the seeds you plant.
And lets say that you went back to your childhood and real-
ized that you grew up experiencing lack, and identified that the
thought thats holding you back is, I dont have enough.
Now that youve identified the main thought thats been
holding you back, you realize that your next step is to change
that thought. In other words, you want to stop planting nega-
tive thought-seeds (what you dont want) and start planting
positive thought-seeds (what you want).
So now you begin to do what the traditional success teach-
ers have been telling you: start using affirmations or positive
statements. Why? Because youre trying to change your
thoughts, and naturally the way to do that is to say, write or
think different statements changing the negative to positive.
So, to combat the negative thought-seed of I dont have
enough, you begin saying, writing and thinking the positive
thought-seed of I have enough or even, I am rich.
And, because youre such a good student, you do this over
and over and over...which would change your attitude, which
would change your results, which would mean your money
problems are over!

Right?
~~~
All right, lets try it.

Say to yourself right now, I am rich.
Say it again.
I am rich.
What just happened in your mind?
Did you hear something else in there?
A voice... a voice that said something like...
Yeah, right.
Let me ask you a question friend to friend:
Do you honestly believe your own affirmations or do
you doubt them?
The plain and simple truth is that many of us doubt our own
affirmations. Why? Because youre trying to convince your-
self of something you dont believe is true.
Now, traditional success teachers realized that you may not
believe that you are, in fact, rich and that you do, in fact, have
enough. So they told you, with very good intentions, that all
you had to do was repeat your affirmations a million kajillion
times until, eventually, you believed them.
Have you ever realized you were holding onto a negative

thought (for example, Im poor, Im lonely, I dont have

enough)...decided you wanted something better...wrote and
said positive affirmations (for example, I am rich, Im happy,
I have enough)
And then had...
Absolutely nothing happen?
Me too. And about a gazillion other people.
Why? If it were as easy as they said, why did nothing hap-
pen? Were we simply incapable of thinking a positive thought?
Were we not smart enough, not motivated enough, not educat-
ed enough...or did we just not try hard enough?
Dear friend, the answer is none of these.
The answer is: you were using conscious statements when
your subconscious mind responds to questions.
You were trying to overcome negative beliefs using state-
ments, when its so much easier to overcome them using ques-
tions.
You were telling when you should have been asking.
What on Earth do I mean?

Chapter 2.
AFFORMATIONS
A NEW WAY TO ASK
POSITIVE QUESTIONS
FOR GREATER RESULTS
I dont pretend to have all the answers.
But the questions are sure worth thinking about.
Arthur C. Clarke, author of
2001: A Space Odyssey
id you see what just happened? I ended the last chap-
D ter with something that made you curious: a question.

The dictionary defines question as: an expression
of inquiry that calls for a reply. So when you ask yourself a
question, what happens?
For example, right now, you may be asking yourself, I dont
know what happens?
Your mind automatically began Searching
for an answer to your question.
WHAT EVERY PROBLEM

YOULL EVER FACE REALLY IS
Do you know what every problem youll ever face is? We

Afformations A New Way To Ask Positive Questions For Greater Results
typically fear, try to avoid, ignore, or get away from problems.

But really, a problem is simply a question that hasnt been
answered yet.
Any problem, from the trivial to the tremendous, is really a
question searching for an answer. Here are a few serious glob-
al problems and their associated questions:
Global warming: How can we stop destroying the Earth
and still live the lives we want?
Poverty: How can we equally distribute the wealth of the
world so that people dont have to go without the basic neces-
sities of life?
Unemployment: How can we get everyone working in jobs
that produce wealth for themselves and help society function
better as well?
(Notice I didnt say these were easy questions. Thats why
we havent found all the answers yet!)
What about the problems people face on the personal or
professional level?
Wanting to be more successful: How can I be more suc-
cessful in my life and business?
Lack of organization: Why cant I find what Im looking
for?
Wanting companionship: Why cant I meet the person of
my dreams?
If youd like to change any of these, you could use the tradi-
tional affirmation method by saying things like: I am a suc-

cess, I am organized, I dont procrastinate and so on.

You may believe these statements, and you may not. Many
people have responded to affirmations like these in a simple
manner: by not believing them (the Yeah, right response).
Now, if affirmations work for you, thats great! If, howev-
er, youre not totally satisfied with the results, why not try
something so simple, yet so powerful, that the traditional
teachers skipped right over it on the way to breakfast:
Rather than making a statement you may not believe, why
not ask yourself a question that can transform your life!
HOW YOU CREATE YOUR LIFE
The staggering realization I made T

in The Shower on that fateful morning
in 1997 was that you are creating the
You create your
reality of your life at this very moment reality by the
in two ways: by the statements you statements
say to yourself and others, and by the
questions you ask yourselves and you say to
others. yourself and
Traditional success teachers have others, and
focused a great deal of energy telling
you to change your statements. But by the questions
until The Shower happened to me, no you ask yourself

to harness, the awesome power of
and others.
T

what happens when you change the questions.

Your mind has what you might call an Automatic Search
Function, which means that when you ask yourself a question,
your mind automatically begins to Search for an answer.
(Psychologists have referred to this function of the human brain
as the embedded presupposition factor.)
The greatest teachers throughout history have taught the
truth of the statement, As you sow, so shall you reap. This is
often called The Law of Sowing and Reaping (Emerson called it
First Law) or The Law of Attraction, which means that what
you focus on (the thought-seeds you continually plant) will
grow and bear fruit.
As weve seen, traditional teachers told you to change your
thinking if you want to change your life. And thats quite cor-
rect.
What they said, however, was to change the statements
youre making, yet almost completely ignored the questions
youre asking.
Yet the Bible tells us, You have not because you ask not,
and Ask and you shall receive.
If you only change the statements you say

without changing the questions you ask,
youre missing out on one of the easiest,
yet most powerful ways to change your life

HOW A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL

CURED HER COMPULSIVE WORRYING
I got a call one day from Mary, a professional salesperson

from Wisconsin who had attended one of our Secret Code of
Success workshops. The first words out of her mouth were,
Your work has been life-changing to me! When I asked her
what she meant, she told me the following story:
After attending your seminar and learning how

to use Afformations, I realized that if it could work
for me, it could also work for my 13-year-old
daughter Stefanie. Shes a high achiever who gets
all As in school, but shes also a chronic and com-
pulsive worrier.
Stefanie worried so much that she had severe
sleeping problems. Shed lay awake many nights
worrying, until finally shed come into our bed-
room and wake us from a sound sleep so we could
comfort her.
We tried everything. We read to her. We prayed
with her. We were even considering taking her to
therapy. Still the worrying and the sleepless
nights continued. She would cry and ask me,
Why do I worry so much? It broke my heart
because I couldnt help my own daughter.
Finally, when I heard you teach Afformations at

your seminar, I realized this could be the answer Id

been praying for! When I came back from your
seminar, I taught Stefanie how to use Afformations,
and we talked for a long time about what questions
would make the most difference in her life.
She was as excited as I was! The questions we
came up with were:
Why am I worry-free?
Why do I enjoy a full nights sleep?
Why do I put trust in Gods hands?
Why do all my friends love me?
Why do I love me?
Now shes a different kid!
From the very first day she started using
Afformations it was truly miraculous, like turning
on a dime! Stefanies worrying stopped. She also
became much happier, more relaxed and seems to
be at peace in her own skin. And you know how
hard that can be for teenagers nowadays espe-
cially teenage girls!
Your books were first self-help books Ive ever
read where I actually did the exercises. Thank you
for making such a difference in our lives!
Mary then told me that not only did Afformations improve

her own business and enable her daughter to quit worrying,

she also started sharing Afformations with everyone she met.

When her husband Scott told her that he wasnt passionate
about his work, Mary began afforming, Why is the right call-
ing coming to Scott? Within weeks, he landed his dream posi-
tion. And get this: it was a job working at Stefanies high
school!
EMPOWERING vs.
DISEMPOWERING QUESTIONS
Do you know what most people are doing with their lives?
Most people are going through life asking negative questions
and wondering why theyre not getting the results they dream
of!
Lets examine these empowering vs. disempowering ques-
tions. Well start with disempowering questions, because while
theyre the kind you may be used to, theyre also the ones you
want to get rid of immediately.
These are questions like, Why am I so afraid? Why doesnt
anyone love me? How come I never get the breaks other peo-
ple get? No one says these questions on purpose, but you
may be asking them without knowing it.
Now Id like you to try consciously asking these common
disempowering questions, and see how you feel: Why dont I
have enough money? How come Im so lonely? Why am I such
a loser? Why cant I do anything right?

As I explain in my weekend Secret Code of Success semi-

nars, each of us has a Negative Reflection in our subconscious
mind that negative voice that tells us we cant do anything
right. The Negative Reflection always asks negative or disem-
powering questions.
The ultimate result of these negative questions is that you
will manifest what you focus on. In other words, when you ask
yourself negative questions, you get negative results.
Use the space on the next page to list the five most disem-
powering questions your Negative Reflection asks you on a
regular basis.
Yes, I mean right now.
They may have come from someone in your past, or it could
be something you made up on your own. Its vital that you
know exactly what your own disempowering questions are, so
you can begin to turn them around. (Note: You might want to
write the date next to your questions, so when you come back
to this book later, youll see just how far youve come.)
Please do this right now.
Ill be right here when you get back.

QUESTIONS
I HEAR IN MY HEAD:

Whew. Pretty bad, arent they?
Are you ready to find a better way?
EMPOWERING QUESTIONS
THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Now that youve identified what your personal disempower-

ing questions are, you may ask, What are empowering ques-
tions and how can I start asking them instead of the negative
ones?
Glad you asked!
Empowering questions cause your mind to focus on the
positive. The only answers to empowering questions are
answers or experiences that produce feelings of self-esteem
and a positive self-image! Empowering questions lead to
answers that tell the Truth about Who You Really Are.
Lets change your disempowering questions on the previ-
ous page to empowering questions. How do we do this? Simply
reverse the negative question to a positive! For example, if your
disempowering question is, Why am I such a loser?, your
empowering question would be, Why am I such a success?
All right, grab your pen and get ready to experience the dif-
ference. Here goes...

HOW AN INSURANCE SALESMAN

WENT FROM $1,500 A MONTH
TO $120,000 A YEAR
Brandon, an insurance salesman from Utah, called our

offices one day and I happened to pick up the phone. I liked him
immediately. He was warm, open and told me that he had spent
over $30,000 on every self-help program under the sun yet he
was still only making about $1,500 to $2,000 a month.
Brandon had heard about our Secret Code of Success pro-
grams and decided to invest in the home-study materials we
offer.
Heres what happened, in Brandons own words:
After spending over a decade and more than
$30,000 on everything from books, tapes and sem-
inars to actually becoming certified as an NLP prac-
titioner, what has happened to me as a result of
using Afformations is nothing short of amazing.
After going through Noahs home-study materi-
als just once, I realized that I was asking myself dis-
empowering questions that were stopping my
growth, like Why cant I get any new referrals?
I immediately started asking myself positive
Afformations. First, I began asking, Why do I get
referrals every day? Within 4 days I had received
9 new referrals to new clients that was complete-
ly unlike any numbers I had gotten in the past.

And the fun didnt stop there!

I wrote a list of 150 different Afformations that I
began carrying around in my pocket.
My favorite? Why is it so easy and so okay for
me to have, do and be anything I want?
Before I met Noah, my sales averaged between
$1,500 and $2,000 a month. In the first month of
using Noahs program, my sales tripled.
(Remember, these numbers are crunched by an
insurance company!)
By the end of the year, my personal income had
increased by 560% and I was named Agent of the
Year. This was in spite of going through a divorce
and my grandmother passing away.
After that first year, I realized I was ready to get
back into a relationship. So I began afforming:
Why am I so lucky to meet the perfect girl for me
so quickly?
In less than 40 days, I met a fantastic woman
but whats truly miraculous is that if wed met just
one week earlier, I wouldnt have been open to
meeting her, because I wanted someone over 21
years old (I was 27 at the time) and we met just 4
days after her 21st birthday!
My advice? Do this work.
It can save you years of your life and many
thousands of dollars!

WHY ARE THEY CALLED

AFFORMATIONS?
Lets return to what weve learned already: the human mind

operates by asking and answering questions. Therefore, when
you ask yourself a question repeatedly, your mind must Search
for an answer to your question.
I named this process of using empowering questions the
use of Afformations, or The Afformation Method. So where did
the word Afformation come from?
After my discovery in The Shower, I realized the process of
asking empowering questions was something that could com-
pletely revolutionize the field of self-help and personal develop-
ment.
I also realized that I had to come up with a word to describe
the process of asking empowering questions, so people would
be able to fully understand the amazing power of their own
minds.
One of my favorite subjects in high school was Latin. (Yes, I
was a geek long before they put the word computer in front
of it.)
After The Shower, I discovered that the word affirmation
comes from the Latin word firmare, which means to make
firm. I began asking myself, If affirmations are positive new
statements, what would the perfect word thought be to
describe empowering questions?
Then the answer came to me (of course!):

I realized that when we ask questions of ourselves or others

whether positive or negative we are really FORMING new
thought patterns, which can FORM a new life for us.
The word form comes from the Latin word formare,
which means to form or give shape to.
Thats when it hit me: what if youre making something
FIRM, but in the wrong FORM?
It was at that moment that I realized the real reason affir-
mations arent very effective for changing our lives because
were trying to make something FIRM before weve FORMED
what we really want.
I realized that instead of making something FIRM, we need-
ed to FORM questions that would change the thought-seeds we
were sowing, which would change our lives.
And thats how the word and the teaching of AFFORMA-
TIONS was born.
(By the way, its perfectly legitimate to invent a new word to
describe a new way of looking at the universe. For example,
remember the first time you heard the words Internet, CD-ROM,
or even software? Just a few short years ago, these words had
no meaning because the technology they describe didnt exist.
There was no context for the words; no context, no meaning.
Now you use those terms every day. In this book, Im teaching
you a new technology of the mind hence, AFFORMATIONS: a
new word to describe a new technology.)

THE BOTTOM LINE:

YOURE ALREADY DOING THIS!
In case youre still wondering if this works, or thinking this
is the nuttiest thing youve ever heard, let us offer you one final
fact:
You are already using
AFFORMATIONS
all the time anyway.
Thoughts like Why am I so stupid? or Why cant I do any-

thing right? are simply negative Afformations! These ques-
tions are really the Negative Reflection forming itself inside
your mind, thereby forming your very life.
Once, during one of our Secret Code of Success seminars in
Virginia, a young couple came up to me, literally jumping up
and down with excitement! They said theyd heard me speak
about afformations at the annual Mary Kay Seminar in Dallas,
where over 50,000 business professionals from around the
world come to learn from some of the worlds best speakers.
Heres their story:
At your workshop, we heard you explain how

to use afformations to change your life. Wed
been doing affirmations for the past four years
just as we were instructed: we made affirma-

tion tapes, said them to one another, placed

them on our refrigerator, even hung affirmation
signs in the shower. Well, all we got was a bunch
of wet words.
After hearing you speak about Afformations at
your workshop, we were very excited. We real-
ized the power of asking ourselves empowering
questions and letting our minds Search for the
answers. We started to use Afformations in exact-
ly the same way wed been using traditional
affirmations: we asked each other our new
questions, placed them on our refrigerator, and
talked about our new Afformations day after day.
The results were absolutely amazing! We
heard you speak at Seminar in July. By August,
we realized we were doing a lot of things differ-
ently because of the Afformations we were using.
And in September, we qualified for our first Pink
Cadillac! After more than four years of using tra-
ditional affirmations with little to show for it,
we got the exact results we wanted in less than
3 months using Afformations.
This professional couple had been very committed to using

the traditional method. Theyd even said affirmations out
loud to one another now thats commitment! Yet affirma-
tions simply didnt enable them to overcome their negative
subconscious beliefs.

Using Afformations, their minds began to Search for new,

creative ways to find solutions to their problems. And the
results spoke for themselves.
The power to create your life using Afformations lies within
you and your miraculous, marvelous mind. Youre already
using them anyway...why not do it consciously to create the life
you want, rather than unconsciously creating a life you dont
want?
By the way, if you still doubt the power of Afformations,
there is a sentence eleven letters long that represents the gen-
esis of every work of art, science, philosophy, and religion in
human history.
If you are still not sure whether Afformations will work for
you, here are the eleven letters that have, in a very real sense,
created human history:
Why am I alive?

change your life beginning on the next page...

How To Create Afformations That Can Change Your Life
Chapter 3.
HOW TO CREATE
AFFORMATIONS THAT CAN
CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Take the attitude of a student:
never be too big to ask questions,
never know too much to learn something new.
Og Mandino
Author of The Greatest Salesman in the World
reating empowering Afformations can be one of the
C most significant steps youll ever take to gain more

control over your business, raise your self-confidence,
improve your personal relationships, or enjoy a deeper rela-
tionship with God. Use the following four steps to create pow-
erful Afformations that will help you use your mind to create
the life you really want:
Step 1: Identify what you want

and write it down.
Youve probably done this before. In this step, you may go

back to goals youve previously written and determine what it

is you really want, or start from scratch. You decide.

This little book is organized into the 10 major areas of life
from Wealth & Money to Health to Self-Confidence to Life &
Happiness. Go through each category and determine what you
really want.
(Please note that traditional success literature stops right
here! Traditional success teachers have told you to set your
goals and then say affirmations that attempt to convince
your brain that you will have or even that you do have
what you want. While this can also work, The Afformations
Method makes reaching your goals so much easier, because it
uses your minds Automatic Search Function to discover posi-
tive answers to your new, empowering questions.)
So, for example, you might decide that your goal is to be
happy, healthy and wealthy (hard to imagine anyone NOT
wanting those things!). So in Step One, you would write: I
want to be happy, healthy and wealthy.
Now we go to the essential step...
Step 2: Form your desire into

a question that assumes that
what you want is already true.
In Step 2, you start asking a question that assumes that

what you want is already so, has already happened, or is
already true!

This is the most essential step to create

empowering Afformations that can change your life!
In the example above, what you want is to be happy, healthy
and wealthy, right? Well, in this step you ask yourself WHY this
is already so!
Your Life is a reflection of the
thought-seeds you plant and give ener-
T
gy to. More precisely, Your Life is a Theres a
reflection of the unconscious assump- mechanism
tions you make about life and your rela-
tionship to it. that records
For example, if you grew up in an and reflects
environment where there wasnt a lot your

aware that the lack of money was the subconscious
cause of their unhappiness, you might thoughts and
conclude that theres a lack of money in
the world that leads to unhappiness,
beliefs. That
and thats just the way life is. If you mechanism
could find a mechanism that could is called
record your subconscious thought-
seeds and play them back to you, they Your Life.
might sound something like this: T
Why am I so unhappy? Why dont I have enough? Why am
I so lonely? Why arent more successful?, and so forth.
Well, a mechanism does exist that records and reflects
your subconscious thought-seeds that mechanism is called
Your Life!

WHAT YOUR LIFE IS
So here you are, asking yourself these often negative ques-

tions. What do you think would be the answers to the negative
questions in the example above?
The answers would be your life showing up as the negative
results of the negative questions youve been asking. For exam-
ple:
If youve been asking, Why am I so unhappy?, youll get
the answer as your unhappy life.
If youve been asking, Why dont I have enough?, the
answer will appear as your lack in life.
If youve been asking, Why am I so lonely?, the person of
your dreams will keep not showing up.
REVERSING THE CURSE
When you do this step of The Afformation Method, you will

take what has been subconscious (hidden) and make it con-
scious (visible), and take what is negative (disempowering) and
make it positive (empowering).
Lets reverse all the negative questions from the last page.
The reverse might look something like this:
Why am I so happy?
Why do I have enough?
Why am I so loved?

These questions may seem unfamiliar to you right now. But

what if you allowed yourself to accept those questions as the
truth about your life?
Wouldnt you have a life thats different than the average
persons a life thats different from the one you have now?
Your quality of life depends

on just two things:
the quality of your communication
with the world inside yourself,
and the quality of your
communication with the world
outside yourself.
Step 2 of The Afformations Method is to begin to change the

quality of communication with the world inside yourself. You
will begin to ask yourself new, better, empowering questions,
and stop asking yourself negative, disempowering questions.
This is the fastest, most effective way Ive ever seen to
immediately change the quality of your communication with
both your inside and outside worlds.
So Step 2 in The Afformation Method is to ask yourself,
Why is [what I want] true in my life now?
Using our example above, you would ask yourself, Why
am I so happy, healthy and wealthy?

Step 3: Let your mind Search for the

answers to your question.
The point of Afformations is NOT to answer the question

you are presenting! The point of Afformations is to begin to use
your mind in a new way to begin focusing on things you may
never have focused on before.
I got the following letter from my friend John Adams of The
Golden Key Ministry in Phoenix...
Dear Noah,
I want to tell you a true story about my friends
Sam and Shirley, two people I had taught The
Afformations Method to about
three years ago when I first read T
your Afformations book.
They began

the ministerial program at Unity in

market in early April with no easily sold to

look but no one was buying.
party for the

Shirley told me about their lack of right price?
a buyer for their home. T

Because they needed to leave in early June,

they were getting nervous and wanted my advice.
I suggested they go through every room in their
home, bless it, and begin afforming, Why is this
house now easily sold to the right party for the
right price?.
That was Saturday. The next afternoon, a cou-
ple came and looked at the house. On Tuesday,
they made an offer which was too low. Sam &
Shirley kept their Afformation going and made a
higher, counter offer which was accepted on
Tuesday afternoon!
Everything went through quickly and the deal
closed on May 31st. Sam & Shirley are on their
way to Missouri as true believers!
Your mind is like a computer. Once you put your

Afformation in motion (and keep asking your new, positive
questions!), your mind will begin to Search for the answer with-
out your conscious volition.
Which brings us to the fourth essential step of The
Afformations Method the one you must do if you want this
method to work for you...
Step 4: Take new ACTIONS based on

your new assumptions about life!

You are, right now, making assumptions about life and your
relationship to it. These assumptions form the basis of how you
go through life with positivity or negativity, confidence or shy-
ness, love or fear, acceptance or resentment.
If you assume that life is for you, you will take actions
formed by the belief that things will work out for the best. If
you assume that life is against you, then your actions will be
formed from hesitancy, fear and the belief of why bother?
The Afformation Method

makes conscious that which has,
until now, been only subconscious.
For example, a confident person will have an easier time in

life, whether building relationships or building a business. But
where does confidence really come from? It comes from the
underlying, subconscious assumptions about how life is going
to treat you.
You are continually forming assumptions about life and
your relationship to it; but these assumptions are nearly always
subconscious so hidden, you dont even realize theyre there.
As a result, the great percentage of your actions are gov-
erned by assumptions you may have formed years even
decades ago!
If you grew up with the assumption that life is lack, what
would your actions be? How confident would you be about
building your business or meeting new people?
Now what if you were Donald Trump and grew up in the lap

of luxury? What would your subconscious assumptions about

life be?
Probably something like, I can have whatever I want or
Theres plenty of money out there, and I have the ability to get
it. In other words, youd probably believe the statement:
Theres more than enough wealth to go around.
As you can see, someone who believes that life is lack is
going to do things (take actions) that spring from that assump-
tion. And you can also see that someone like Donald Trump,
who grew up with great wealth, is going to literally live in a dif-
ferent universe than the individual who believes life is lack.
I am not espousing Donald Trumps lifestyle; nor do I believe
the purpose of life is to gain money or possessions. I am sim-
ply pointing out that your internal, subconscious assumptions
are going to form the very essence of how you walk through
life.
Remember, the point of The Afformation Method is not to
find the answer to your questions. Since you are now going
to be forming positive questions that assume that what you
want is already true, your mind will work to find a way to make
it so.
Can you see how this process must, by definition, change
your life?
HOW YOULL KNOW

WHEN ITS WORKING
The question I get most often about Afformations is: How
will I know when its working? (This question, by the way, typ-

ically comes from people who havent tried it consciously yet.)

Many people who start using afformations report an almost
instant feeling of calm and peace of mind.
However, the Afformations Method is

HOW TO USE THE REST

OF THIS BOOK

The rest of this book includes powerful Afformations for the

10 major areas of your life, career and relationships. Of course,
no single book could cover every afformation, because the
number of afformations is literally infinite.
Thats why Ive left room between the Afformations for you
to write your own, personalized Afformations that suit your
individual situation. You can also refer to the other books in The
Afformation Series (see Helpful Resources at the back of the
book, come to one of our Secret Code of Success seminars, or
visit SuccessClinic.com)
Use them, go over them in your mind, read them again and
again, and write them out as you would traditional affirma-
tions but notice that Afformations may flow very easily for
you!
Thats because rather than trying to force yourself to believe
something that you may not really believe, youll be forming
new assumptions about life and your relationship to it, based
on what you really do want.
I know of no other method that can yield such dramatic
results with so little effort.
~~~
And now, enjoy discovering your new incredibly simple

questions and reaping your amazingly powerful results in
every area of your life!

AFFORMATIONS ON
WEALTH & MONEY
The question isnt at what age
I want to retire, its at what income.
George Foreman,
entrepreneur and grillmaster
hoever said that money doesnt buy happiness
W obviously didnt know where to shop. Seriously, if

theres one area where people are holding onto
negative beliefs, its in the area of wealth and money.
Look at some of the common negative beliefs about wealth
and money: Money doesnt grow on trees...Its easier for a
camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man
to enter the gates of heaven...Rich people are all selfish... and
so on.
Your relationship with money is like any other relationship
you have. If you treat your spouse or your friends poorly, if you
speak ill of them, or even if you feel guilty for wanting them
around, how long do you think theyll stay with you? Probably
not long. Money behaves exactly the same way.
Think for a moment about all the things you do every day
that relate to money. Most of us work to get the thing called
money. We drive to work to get the thing called money. We pay

Afformations On Wealth & Money
bills so we can enjoy things like electricity, water, food, clothing

and shelter. That takes money. Even worrying about how we
are going to pay our bills is thinking about money!
Yet, how many of us ever admit even to ourselves how
much time we spend thinking about money: trying to get more,
save more, make more money?
I bet even thinking about it now may be making you uncom-
fortable. Why?
Have you ever noticed that there is not one positive word in
the English language to describe someone who loves money?
We think of words like miser, hoarder, selfish, greedy when
describing someone who loves money, or remember old
Ebeneezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol (before the ghosts
visited him). We dont want to be like that, do we?
But consider the following: if you speak ill

how will Even Scrooge only became truly wealthy
you ever when he began sharing his fortune with those
less fortunate. (Perhaps the only positive
be one? word for a person of wealth is philanthro-
T pist but that still means you have to give it
away to be seen positively!)
Dont limit your own wealth by thinking those who have

money are somehow not as good as you. Remember, print-

ed on every piece of currency in The United States are the four
words we should all have tattooed on our foreheads:
IN GOD WE TRUST
You can do so much more with money than without it. You
need to take the guilt and shame out of your relationship with
money, and realize that you can help many more people by
being wealthy than being broke.
Use the following Afformations to improve your relation-
ship with money, and watch it become one of the most fulfill-
ing relationships youll ever have!
Why am I so rich
and so richly blessed?
Why do I always
have enough money?
Why is my credit
so strong and healthy?

Why is money no object?

(This question is literally true: money has no form
and no substance. It is merely a manifestation
of perceived value among human beings.
Consider this point carefully.)
Why do I have more than enough money?
Why do I have so much worth AND value?

(Worth = an intrinsic quality of you that makes you
deserving of respect. Value = an amount regarded as
a worthwhile trade for something else. You have
Worth just because you ARE. Your Value is deter-
mined by you and those who want what you do.
Think about the difference between Worth and Value
when you set your prices or ask for a raise in pay.)
Why does money come to me so easily?
Why am I worth
having a positive net worth?

Why does my income

always exceed my expenses?
Why do I allow myself

to be rich and happy, too?
Why is it OK for me to have

lots of money?
Why do I use my life of abundance

to enrich the lives of others?
Why do I enjoy finding

new and creative ways
to share my abundance?

Why do I enjoy the benefits I bring to others

through my true abundance?
Why can I be wonderfully wealthy

and deeply spiritual at the same time?
Why am I worth being wealthy?
Why do I happily accept wealth and

gratefully tithe too?
Why is it so easy to talk about

money to my spouse?

Why do I never use the words,

poor, not enough, broke,
or I cant afford it any more?
Why has God given me the power to

obtain great wealth?
Why is my credit
finally being repaired?
Why is money
such a wonderful gift to me?
Why do I teach my children

the fine art of
giving and receiving with grace?
Why do I trust
that God always provides?

Why do I thankfully ask and

abundantly receive?
Why is abundance
attracted to me?
Why am I so rich?
Why does money love

being with me?
Why is it so easy
to express my spirituality
by being financially abundant?

I was teaching Afformations on one of my Secret Code of
Success teleseminars one night, and two weeks later heard
from one of our attendees. She wrote:
Noah, thank you for teaching us on the call. I find

myself using Afformations EVERYWHERE! People are
even asking me what Im doing to lose weight!
But the funniest part is that I havent lost a thing!!!
My schedule hasnt allowed me to get to the gym, and
my eating hasnt changed. So the scale reads the same
and I keep asking myself, Why am I so fit and healthy
at 125 pounds?
People are SEEING what Im ASKING! Do you think
my enthusiasm is burning off my extra cheesecake
calories?

Theres more to building self-confidence than just being

able to accept a compliment; thats just one behavior that
reveals your level of confidence. However, if youve been hold-
ing onto a negative self-concept or find it hard to accept a com-
pliment, use these Afformations to rebuild a positive self-image
and let your light shine from within!

every good thing
that comes my way today?
Why am I so magnetically attractive

to the best, most loving
and wonderful people on Earth?
Why do I look in the mirror

and see enoughness?
Why do I accept compliments so

graciously and easily?

Why are leaders

so attracted and magnetized to me?
Why do I seek
and see only the best in life?
Why am I so comfortable
in my own skin?

such beauty in and as me?

being Who I Am?

see my own Worth and Value?
Why am I so respected
in my work and my life?

Why is it okay to like and love myself?
Why am I safe to succeed?

sharing my talents with the world?

Why do people value and appreciate me?

perfection in Who I Am?
Why do I feel better knowing

God doesnt create junk?
Why am I so respected by friends,

Why am I so confident
putting my trust in God?

Why am I so loved?

Why am I loved so easily and so much?
Why do people
want to help me reach my goals?
(Perhaps because I help them reach theirs!)

do and have all
that I really want in this life?

Afformations On Work & Career
Chapter 7.
AFFORMATIONS ON
WORK & CAREER
Einstein was a man who could ask
immensely simple questions.
And what his work showed is that
when the answers are simple too,
then you can hear God thinking.
Jacob Bronowski, mathematician
A student sent the following letter:
Dear Noah,
I wanted to share my story with you about my
first experience with Afformations. In 2004, I was
very dissatisfied with my job.
Many were the days I would come to work and
ask myself why I still came. I found no fulfillment
in the work I did and the pay, which never has
been very stellar, was becoming less and less
desirable.
Looking for change at work as well as for
answers as to why I had failed at three different
business ventures in the past two-and-a-half

years, I bought your Permission to Succeed

course and started studying your material in late
2004.
After hearing you teach about Afformations
and reading about them in your books, I decided
to turn around the questions I was asking myself.
Instead of asking myself why I wasnt happy at
work and why I didnt find fulfillment there, I start-
ed asking myself, Why do I enjoy my work so
much?
And, Why is work so fulfilling for me?
I wasnt really diligent in asking myself these
questions, honestly. But, whenever I found myself
starting to think negatively about my job or catch
myself asking why I didnt like it, I would quickly
turn to my Afformation questions and ask them
several times, instead.
In early December 2004, I looked at my role in
the company and compared that to several new
projects the CEO had said needed to be done, but
didnt know who would do them. I realized that
my skills, my abilities, and everything I could be
doing at work fit those projects perfectly. I just
didnt have the job to do them!
Taking this new thinking into consideration, I
used my Afformations more frequently. I started
asking myself those new questions without even
knowing that there could or would be a new role

for me.
About a week and a half later, I found the per-
fect opportunity to approach the CEO about those
projects. I told him that I thought the company
needed to hire someone to take on those projects,
and that the person they should hire was me! I
even found the courage to tell him that I was dis-
satisfied with the way my pay had been negotiat-
ed the last time I had been given a new assign-
ment at work, and I deserved something more if I
took on this new role.
Well, within a week the deal was done. The
CEO created a new position in the company and
approached me about the new compensation he
would be willing to pay. I now had a new job with
more than twice the pay!
At first I didnt even realize that what I had
been doing with the Afformations had any con-
nection to what had just happened. But, as Ive
been looking over your home-study materials
again, it finally hit me. I had significantly altered
the way I was interpreting the world.
I had gone from seeing my world negatively
and asking why it was so, to asking myself why I
was so blessed and work was so wonderful. Just
as you teach, the world had been returning exact-
ly what I was asking.
Once I changed what I was asking for, the

world produced something completely different!

I know now I went through your home-study
materials much too fast the first time. But, thank
heavens the whole thing about Afformations had
the impact it did!
Sincerely,
Michael M.
P.S. Im on my way through your Course a sec-

ond time, and looking forward to getting even
more out of it!
You really are stronger than you think you are. You are more
capable than anyone, including yourself, may currently recog-
nize. Begin asking yourself new questions about your own
skills, abilities, and the world around you, and dont be sur-
prised to see a brand new you springing forth!

as fast as Im coming to them?

about my vision for success?

with integrity?

permission to succeed?

love to win and prosper?

more successful
than I ever dreamed?

Afformations On Love
Chapter 8.
AFFORMATIONS ON LOVE
If love is the answer,
could you please rephrase the question?
Lily Tomlin, comedienne and actress
nce, during a seminar in Denver, something hap-
O pened to a young woman in our audience. She was a

doctor and was clearly intelligent, caring, and very
magnetic to everyone around her.
Yet when we she was supposed to answer questions about
herself and her worth in relationships, she burst into tears!
After having gone through a devastating divorce and other
unsuccessful relationships, her thoughts for future love were
almost hopeless.
The questions in her head went something like this:
Why have I failed at love? Why does love hurt so much?
Why am I unloveable? Why havent I found the man of my
dreams? Why am I not worthy of the love I desire?
Gee, I wonder what her life looked like? Exactly: her life had
become the literal answer to her disempowering Afformations!
Her subconscious questions had formed a life where she had
no confidence in her ability to love and be loved. She began to
think that maybe there was no such thing as true, lasting love. It
was the very definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Less than 90 days after the seminar, our office phone rang.
It was the young doctor. She could hardly breathe, she was so
excited! After she caught her breath, she told me that the sem-
inar had been the turning point in her life because, for the first
time, she saw that she was asking the wrong questions and
they were ruining her life.
She immediately stopped asking
negative Afformations, and began
T using a single empowering
The Afformation that changed her life.
Afformation The Afformation she began using
she began using was, Why do I have the most The
incredibly loving relationship with the
was, Why do I Afformation man of my dreams?
have the most As she started asking her new
incredibly loving Afformation, her minds Automatic
Search Function began to form new
relationship with patterns. She started to see things dif-
the man of ferently, and realized she had been
stopping herself from being loved
my dreams? because of the negative questions
T shed been asking herself.
She came to realize that a dear
friend of hers whom she had known for some time, but was
several years her junior, was in fact the man of her dreams.
But she hadnt allowed the possibility to enter her mind
before, because of so many years of disempowering (subcon-
scious) Afformations.

She decided to take a leap of faith. She took ACTION! Her

new Afformation allowed her to open her mind and heart to the
possibility of true love.
She took a risk and told her friend how she truly felt. Today
they are happily married and living the life of their dreams. All
because she dared to ask herself a new question!
If youre looking for love in all the wrong places, its because
youre asking the wrong questions. If youre in a dead-end rela-
tionship, you are using disempowering Afformations that are
causing you to focus on the negative rather than the positive.
As Ive said throughout this book, and as the greatest teach-
ers in history have told us: what you focus on, grows. Use
these Afformations to re-focus your mind on the gifts of love
you have and the gift of Love that you are.

She called the very next week for our coaching call. Noah,
its like a miracle! she said.
She told me that after she had written the letter, she felt so
much better, but decided not to show it to her husband and just
see what happened.
As she was getting ready for work and her husband was
downstairs doing the same routine theyd been doing for 20
years she was afforming to herself her new, positive ques-
tions. Suddenly, something happened that, she told me, had
never happened in 20 years of marriage.
Her husband called up the stairs and said, Have a great
day, honey. I love you! Then, later in the day, he called her
after one of her meetings and asked, How did your meeting
go? She told me that, in 20 years, he had never once called her
before to see how her day was going.
She told me it was the most remarkable experience of her
life and she never even showed him the letter!

AFFORMATIONS
ON CONQUERING FEAR
Fear is a question.
What are you afraid of, and why?
Our fears are a treasure house of
self-knowledge if we explore them.

Did you realize that, no matter what business youre in, your
main job is actually selling? As one CEO put it, nothing happens
until someone sells something.
Lets say youre a stay-at-home mom. Dont

rejection When we ask our seminar audiences to tell
us what the words sales or selling bring to
wearing a mind, people respond with words like, manipu-
nice suit. late, used car salesman, pushy or even
something I cant do!
T What it really boils down to, however, is one

Afformations On Conquering Fear
four-letter word: Fear.

The fear of selling is really the fear of rejection wearing a
nice suit. The fear of rejection is one of the oldest, most primal
fears we have. We fear rejection because we fear being alone.
Human beings used to live in tribes that depended on every
member for survival. If someone were banished or rejected,
they stood a great chance of not surviving.
That ancient fear of not-surviving appears today as the fear
of rejection. At our Secret Code of Success seminars, I remind
my Students that, when youre trying to sell something, you
dont face the possibility of rejection. You face the certainty of
rejection!
Why would I teach something that sounds so negative?
Because I want you to stop beating yourself up when someone
says no to you. Even if you have the best product, service or
idea in the world, its just not possible for every person to want
what youre offering or to agree with you.
When someone says no to you, what theyre really saying
(without knowing it) is: Thank you for sharing your product,
service or idea with me. Im declining your offer right now,
because I dont see sufficient value to change what Im current-
ly doing or using. Thats all that no really is!
Its not a rejection of you at all. The next time someone
says no to you, remind yourself that their no really has noth-
ing to do with you.
All theyre really saying is, Thank you, but I perceive the
value of what youre showing me to be less than my desire to
change.

overcome the fear of rejection, fear of failure, or any other fear.

Afformations On Overcoming Bad Habits and Addictions
Chapter 11.
AFFORMATIONS ON
OVERCOMING BAD HABITS
AND ADDICTIONS
Lifes most urgent question is:
what are you doing for others?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
n our Secret Code of Success seminars, I often ask my
I Students: When did you get points in your family? In

other words, when did you get praise and encourage-
ment? A large majority of women say they got points
when they:
Were quiet
Did what they were told
Toed the line
Got good grades
Stayed out of sight
Made other people happy
And the men report they got pointswhen they:

Were perfect
Scored the winning touchdown

Didnt cry
Got straight As
Worked hard
Did everything right
Does any of that sound familiar? In your life today, are you
still trying to be quiet, stay out of sight or be perfect, do
everything right? For example, lets say youre about to pick
up the phone to make a sales call. Do you stop yourself by
thinking, What if this isnt a good timeWhat if they dont like
what Im selling...What if I dont make this sale, then Ill never
make quota?

thats getting in the way of you getting
what you want.
T
Remember, Afformations are based on science, not magic.
If you dont take response-ability, you wont have the ability to
respond. You cannot simply mouth these new words, do the

same things youve always done, and expect your life to

change. However, if your disempowering subconscious ques-
tions are keeping you stuck in self-destructive behaviors,
changing your questions can be the first step to making big
changes in your life.
Use these Afformations to form new behaviors around pro-
crastination, overeating, or any other self-destructive habit
youd like to get rid of.
Then take new ACTIONS, and watch what miracles occur
for you!

Afformations On Spirituality

AFFORMATIONS
ON SPIRITUALITY
I had a million questions to ask God:
but when I met Him, they all fled my mind;
and it didnt seem to matter.
Christopher Morley, novelist and journalist
ould you like to get closer to God? (Its a trick ques-
C tion.) Many people come up after our seminars and

say they want to feel closer to God. I always ask them,
Why dont you feel close to God right now? They invariably
answer that theyre going through tough times, or that theyve
lost something very important to them for example, a spouse,
a job, a parent or a relationship they werent
T ready to let go of.
There I then ask them, Why do you feel that God
isnt close to you because you lost something?
can be And they reply, Because God wouldnt do
no loss something like that to someone He loves.
in Spirit. At that point, I usually just look at them, and
they figure out what they just said. Do you
know anyone anyone who hasnt at one time
lost something very important to them?
Does this mean God just abandons us whenever He feels

like it? Or because weve been bad?

Simply because youve lost something thats important to
you doesnt mean an All-Loving, All-Forgiving God has aban-
doned you.
Loss and gain are human ideas, not Gods. You may like the
gain part better.
But to God, its all just Life.
There can be no loss in Spirit. All things are One, but we
experience them as Separate. Use these Afformations (and cre-
ate your own) to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation
of the fact that to get close to God, all you need do is realize that
there is no spot where God is not.

knowing
theyve already happened?

Chapter 13.
AFFORMATIONS
ON LIFE & HAPPINESS
The most important questions in life can never be
answered by anyone except oneself.
John Fowles, English novelist
his letter arrived at our office the other day:
T Dear Noah: My last Sunday felt like the chil-

drens book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible,
No Good, Very Bad Day! I had spent all day on
Saturday helping cut TONS of dead wood out of
two trees at my dads/sons house, so needless to
say, on Sunday I was not only tired but SORE!
Late Sunday evening I began looking for my
misplaced cell phone. We combed the house,
rang the phone, called Dad to see if Id left it at his
house, went through both houses and all laun-
dry...still no phone.
En route home from looking all over Dads
yard, I decided to drive by my stepfathers house
(which I own) to see if any of his neighbors were
showing signs of new roofs being installed from
our recent hail storm.

Afformations On Life & Happiness
The ONLY sign in a yard was at my stepfa-

thers! I panicked, thinking he had negotiated
(without my consent) for a new roof.
Ready for an ulcer, I got home and STILL no
sign of the phone. My phone service said it was
probably found or destroyed by the way it was
ringing straight to voicemail, so I prepared to file
a claim on my cell phone insurance. They had
closed 13 minutes prior, so I couldnt call it in.
As I continued for the phone, I realized I had
lost not one, but TWO, missing checks for nearly
$10,000 each that had arrived several days earlier
and I had not had time to take care of. Searched
the desk, piles of papers, bank bags...no checks!!
By now, I am nearly crazy!
Ready to drown myself in my hot tub, I called
my friend for mental garbage take out. Her
usual techniques to get me back up failed. Since
wed both read your books, she and I decided to
try using afFORMations.
We created one for her and then I decided
mine would be, Why am I so happy? I half-jok-
ingly decided that taking a sleeping pill and
sleeping until Tuesday when offices opened so I
could resolve some issues on all three matters
might be my best option!
Off to bed I went, sarcastically muttering,
Why am I soooo happy?! Just as I turned the

corner to my bedroom, what should appear look-

ing right at me from a bookcase but my cell
phone!!
The battery was dead (hence the no ringing). I
had come home from tree trimming in a VERY
big rush to shower before my dinner guests
arrived and in my rush had slung the phone in an
unusual place.
Thankfully, I had NOT been able to file a claim
for a new phone.
Early Monday morning (July 4th, no less), I
decided to call the roofing company on the very
long shot that their office would be open at 7:10
a.m. Much to my surprise, the office worker
answered and after a short search was able to tell
me that the roof in question was not being
replaced (or even in need of replacement, YEA!)
but the sign was left in the yard as advertisement
for the roofing man. Whew!
Next, I looked in the tote bag where I keep my
bank bags and lo and behold, there in plain sight
was the envelope with the two $10,000 checks!
I couldnt believe how quickly (and on a holi-
day to boot) all three BIGGIES were dissolved.
Afformations really did the trick!
Thank you!

What makes you feel happy? What makes a fulfilling life? As

much as youve heard this before, it really is not dependent on
having an amount of money. Ive met people earning in the
high six figures who were miserable, and those making a lot
less who are blissfully happy.
Having that rich, happy, fulfilled life comes from doing what
youre here to do and blessing others through being Who You
Really Are.
Many times, however, the questions youre asking do not
support the life you want, because they keep you focused on
what you dont have.
Now that youre near the end of this book, you now have the
power to change your life by first changing what you focus on
by changing the questions you ask then taking new
ACTIONS that support your new beliefs.
Use these Afformations to help you change your focus, and
allow yourself to live the life youve always imagined!
Why am I so happy?
Why am I so lucky?
Why are the good times here to stay?

Why am I so delighted to be me
every day of my life?
Why is Love all that really matters?
Why do I forgive myself ?
Why am I finally free, at last?
Why am I so blessed?
Why is life such a miracle?
Why am I so sunnily confident

and springfully happy?

Why do I have more than enough time,

money and energy to do all that I want?
Why am I so lucky to be me?
Why do I seek first to love, and know

understanding will follow?
Why does my family life express Love?
Why do I enjoy such balance and

harmony in my life?
Why do I so easily let go

of the past?

Why do I accept and love the people

in my life just the way they are?
Why is it more important for me to be

happy than to be right?
Why is my family life so healthy and happy?
Why are such wonderful people

so attracted to me?
Why do I have so many Loving Mirrors?
Why do I have the best family

in the world?

Why do I let the dead bury their dead?
Why am I so supportive of my family?
Why did I stop trying to change people?
Why do I allow people to be who they are

and love them no matter what?
Why do I praise my family

so easily and sincerely?
Why do I catch my
children/spouse/partner, etc.
doing something right at least twice a day?

Why am I so grateful for my life?
Why am I so grateful for all that I am

and all that I have today?
Why do I allow people to make mistakes

and still love them?
Why is it not a sign of weakness,

but of strength, to say, I was wrong?
Why do I thank God for the gifts

of my life every day?
Why do I allow myself to succeed,

be wealthy, and be blissfully happy
today and always?

Now What?
Chapter 14.
NOW WHAT?
A good question is never answered.
It is not a bolt to be tightened into place,
but a seed to be planted and to
bear more seed toward the hope
of greening the landscape of idea.
Henry David Thoreau
his book, like the others in the Afformations and Secret
T Code of Success series, was written to help you

become wildly successful in your life, career and rela-
tionships.
But what do you do now that the book is over? If you really
want the results and benefits you desire for your life things
like more money, better relationships, or a closer connection
with God you must do what I shared with you in Chapter 3:
Take ACTION!
In Chapter 2, I introduced you to The Afformations Method:
the simplest, easiest way Ive ever seen to get what you want in
your life. I showed you how to use what youre already doing
asking questions to create the life youve always wanted.
In Chapter 3, you learned the 4 steps to create empowering
Afformations that can change your life. I recommend you com-
mit to doing these 4 simple steps daily, because this will root
these principles into your mind. Eventually you will find your-

self looking at life very differently. From there you will make
new choices, take new actions, and create new results.
If you want change to be permanent, you must re-wire your
brain. All this means is that you must put the steps into prac-
tice. Not just read about it, not just talk about it, and not just
think about it, but actually DO it!
Beware of the little voice in your head saying something
like, I cant do it...its too hard...I dont have time. As I explain
in my Secret Code of Success programs, thats your Negative
Reflection talking that voice in your head saying you cant
make changes.
Remember, its job is to keep you right where you are, in
your Familiar Zone. Dont listen to it. Do the steps, use your
new Afformations, and watch your life take off!
I also suggest you reread this book from beginning to end at
least once a month for the next year. What? Your little voice
might be screaming. Ive already read the book, why do I need
to read it over and over again? Good question, and the answer
is simple: repetition is the mother of learning. Again, the more
you study this book, the faster the concepts will become natu-
ral and automatic for you.
After my discovery in The Shower, I realized it was my duty
and responsibility to bring this teaching to tens of millions of
people around the world. My mission is to create a nation and
a world of Loving Mirrors, and to assist those with the same
vision on the way to true wealth, peace and joy.
I am truly blessed to lead teleseminars, workshops and
camps that transform peoples lives quickly and permanently.

Now What?
From my heart to yours, now that you know how to change

your life by using empowering Afformations, I invite you to take
the next step and learn the 7 Steps to get your foot off the brake
for good in your life, career and relationships for good!
You can do that with my all-new Secret Code of Success
System.

where you want to be in life.

ble of and gives you the simple, practical tools that enable

1. Find something that works.
2. Tell everyone about it.
3. Repeat.
Noah St. John
Okay, so now you know the steps to create Afformations

that can change your life. The only question now is: are you
going to share what youve learned or keep it to yourself ?
As Ive shared with my Students for years now, the only
things you have to do to succeed in life are: Learn, Do and
Teach.
First, Learn what it takes to succeed. Thats what this book
and my other courses and programs are all about. Second, Do
the steps. Its one thing to know, and quite another to take what
you know and put it into ACTION. But taking action is the only
way to manifest the wealth and happiness you desire.
And finally, Teach what youve learned to others. The best
way we can learn ourselves is when we share what weve
learned with others.
Because this is true, I encourage you to share what youve
experienced in this book with others. Get the message of this
book out to as many people as possible. Commit to telling at

least one hundred of your friends, family, and associates about

it or consider getting it for them as a life-changing gift.
Not only will you be introducing them to a new (and easier)
way of thinking that can change their lives, they will also learn
a new way of Being in this world that will uplift everyone who
gets this message.
What better way to make a difference than to help those you
care about to use the greatest gift theyve been given: their own
mind?
What are you waiting for?
