Thnx DarkSocialogist, annie and Antiventurecapital.

DarkSocialogist: As Annie said, you do have some pwerful stuff here. Thnx for sharing this with me.

Annie: I have a question.
You said:
"Make your statement in the present tense. Words really matter and beginning your statements with "I want to...." is living in the future. The words "I AM" are 2 of the most powerful words in the human language. I think it would add to your power if you began with those words (as IF they were already accomplished)."

Say... I want to work for XYZ comany which is the top company in the world in its field. I want to be working at XYZ in 3 years. Then I make an action plan on how to do that....and for that I'll have to be in ABC company by the end of this month.... then at DEF company by the end of this year...so on and so forth.
So how should I word my affirmations?

Should I say: "This is 2010- I am working at XYZ!"

Or should I simply concentrate on the next step- then once I have it, re-word my affirmation to what the next step will be. For eg. according to the plan I've set I need to get in ABC by the end of this month. The next step would be to get in DEF by december.
So should I be saying: "March end- I'm in ABC!"
Then once I do get in ABC, rewrite my affirmation for the next step: "December- and I'm at DEF!"

By the way, my list includes 3 things:
1.My message/ my song (Check out Steve's "The Message v/s the Medium"
2.The lifestyle I'm aiming for.
3.Concrete goals- the mediums I've chosen to express myself, specific deadlines. Long term goals, short term goals, action plan etc..
