Dear Awesome One,
I am writing this book just for YOU! Yes, YOU! You are an awesome and dynamic child who is special in the eyes of God. You are beautiful both inside and outside. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You were created with purpose. You are meant to be do great things in your home, your school, your church, and your community. You are worth so much to God. Love is surrounding you and overflows in your heart. You are destined for greatness. Sometimes it’s easy for other people to tell you that. Yet it is important that you hear how great you are from one of the most important person ever: YOU! It is very important that you tell yourself positive things. It is very important that you HEAR yourself confidently stating positive words about yourself. This is called making a DECLARATION, when you declare you are saying something in a strong and confident manner about yourself. This book is designed to teach you how to make those declarations. I have created twenty-one days of positive declarations just for you. Read them aloud. Write them. Memorize them. When you begin, you may not believe the words you are saying. You may not even understand what you are reading. However, the more you practice your declarations you will begin to notice a change. You will feel stronger. You will feel happier. When you are asleep, you will hear the words in your sleep. Your self-esteem will become high and remain high. You will look at yourself and see a winner. If you are too young to read, have an adult read it to you and you repeat it. If you are old enough to read and write, you should read and write your declarations. Sing them. Type them. Yell them. Just do it! This is not a book you put to the side when you are done. It should never be placed on your bookcase with other books. No, keep this book close by. Keep it next to your Bible. Keep it in the car. Keep it in your backpack. This book has been written JUST FOR YOU!
