Here are a few general-purpose affirmations that may be used to improve your life in all areas. One of most famous affirmations was developed by a French scientist by name of Emile Coué, which is "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better." Here are a few others.

"I am One with Universal Mind Power, and so being, I am One with Universal Success. All ideas for my personal success come to me from Universal Mind in a way that is certain for me to see. I am constantly guided to do right thing, say right thing, and be at right place at right time."

"I am Powerful. There is Power in everything I do."

"Wealth comes to those who serve others."

"I am more valuable than I think I am."

"When I'm excited about what I do, others will get excited too."

"The only failure in life is failure to try."

"I am divinely blessed, and my blessings grow every day."

"As I breathe in, I bring myself closer to God and His absolute Power. As I relax into Power of God, I am connected into matrix of creation. I can now set course of events in my life. The results of my creation bring me much happiness."

"LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!!"

"It's thought that counts."

When a gift is given with proper attitude, there is a scientific cause and effect type of response from Universe. Just as a rubber ball thrown against a brick wall will bounce back, a gift given with proper attitude will cause Universe to give giver something of value.

I really like how Wayne Dyer explains this. In one of his presentations, he explains that Universe is like an echo. Whenever we ask "What can I get?", Universe asks us same question. And whenever we ask "What can I do or give?", we experience Universe asking us this same question.

We can also see this as a mirror. Imagine that you're standing in front of a large (Universally-sized) mirror. What you see is a reflection of who you are. If you give mirror your best, you will find mirror reflecting same attitude back to you, giving you it's best. But if you try to hold back from mirror, you will find mirror holding back from you.

And so, we find that in giving good gifts to those in our lives, we allow Universe to give us good gifts also, and this naturally increases our experience of prosperity in our lives.

And while it may be difficult to believe at first, understanding this magical fact will open you to realization that it's truly generous people in this world that experience greatest prosperity.

Be generous in your spirit, and become prosperous in your life.
