FOREWORD

When I was in my early 20s, my first serious mentor told me that my words become my thoughts, my thoughts become my emotions, and my emotions will determine what I follow and do.

Up until then, I hadn’t paid much attention to the inner dialogue going on in my head. In essence, I was ignorant of the fact that all success or failure begins with a person’s self-talk and self-thought.

But once I grasped the full potential of the power that existed within my own mind, I immediately began practicing having a positive mental attitude. Whenever I caught myself thinking or talking negatively to myself or to one of my friends, I’d quickly correct myself and rephrase it into a positive message.

Every day I’d repeat positive affirmations and apply visualization techniques to train my brain to be positive and clear of the mental crap I used to have.

At the time, I really wasn’t sure about the effects of all the positive material I was feeding my mind, but I do remember that it sure felt better than being negative and feeling insecure and uncertain of my future! Yet almost immediately, my success started to accelerate . . . and it hasn’t stopped for the past 30 years.

When I read Noah St. John’s brand-new fourth edition of The Book of Afformations, I instantly loved how he’s taken the very best of today’s new knowledge about the brain and created a system that really forces you to think about why and how you can achieve any of the goals you choose—instead of listening to the doubts, fears, and uncertainties that may be holding you back from all the success you desire.

If affirmations are what worked in the past, Afformations are what work now.

Achieving success doesn’t have to be hard. Follow the lessons in this book, and discover how easy it can be for you to make a significant leap forward in your health, wealth, relationships, business, and any other area in your life.

The stories in this book will warm your heart and make you realize that you have it within you to succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

If affirmations are what worked in the past, Afformations are what work now.

But let me warn you: this isn’t a book to be read in one sitting. I’ll bet you’ll read a few pages and then pause and really think about how to apply the genius content you’ve just read. Then you’ll do it over and over again throughout this amazing book.

I’m super excited for you because I deeply know that the power of applying Noah’s method can literally transform your life—and help you create the masterpiece you truly want and are capable of achieving!

To your ongoing success,
