Louise Hay quotes: tips from the motivational author.
“We are powerful, creative beings who determine our future with every thought we think and every word we speak.”
“Your mind is a tool you can choose to use any way you wish.”
“You are the only person who thinks in your mind! You are the power and authority in your world. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind.”
“Be willing to take the first step, no matter how small it is. Concentrate on the fact that you are willing to learn. Absolute miracles will happen.”
“It’s okay to learn from every experience, and it’s okay to make mistakes.”
“The gateways to wisdom and knowledge are always open.”
“We are each responsible for all of our experiences. Every experience is a success.”
“The way you now use your mind is only a habit, and habits, any habits, can be changed if we want to do so, or even if we only know it is possible to do so.”
“If we can use our problems and illnesses as opportunities to think about how we can change our lives, we have power.”
“Challenges are opportunities for me to grow. The more I learn, the more equipped I am to handle whatever situations come up.”
“Your unique creative talents and abilities are flowing through you and are being expressed in deeply satisfying ways. Your creativity is always in demand.”
“By far the biggest category of resistance is fear—fear of the unknown.”
“No matter where we live on the planet or how difficult our situation seems to be, we have the ability to overcome and transcend our circumstances.”
“I change my life when I change my thinking. I am a wonderful, capable being. And it is time for me to acknowledge that I create my own reality with my thoughts. If I want to change my reality, then it is time for me to change my mind.”
“If you think of the hardest thing for you to do and how much you resist it, then you’re looking at your greatest lesson at the moment.”
“Learn to treat doubt as a friend, not the enemy, and thank it for questioning you.”
“If we want a joyous life, we must think joyous thoughts. If we want a prosperous life, we must think prosperous thoughts. If we want a loving life, we must think loving thoughts. Whatever we send out mentally or verbally will come back to us in like form.”
“Every thought we think is creating our future.”
“When we create peace and harmony and balance in our minds, we will find it in our lives.”

“Responsibility is our ability to respond to a situation. We always have a choice.”
“When I talk about responsibility, I am really talking about having power. Blame is about giving away one’s power. Responsibility gives us the power to make changes in our lives. If we play the victim role, then we are using our personal power to be helpless. If we decide to accept responsibility, then we don’t waste time blaming somebody or something out there.”
“I have never understood the importance of having children memorize battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy. Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as how the mind works, how to handle finances, how to invest money for financial security, how to be a parent, how to create good relationships, and how to create and maintain self-esteem and self-worth. Can you imagine what a whole generation of adults would be like if they had been taught these subjects in school along with their regular curriculum?”
“It’s time to put aside all messages that ask you to do anything other than love yourself and focus on creating a stable foundation for lasting change. Self-acceptance is an expansive feeling that can open you up to finding your own answers, beyond what ‘they’ told you. The more you love yourself, the more you are guided to what is truly right for you.”
“We have to believe in ourselves more. It’s all the same thing: we need to release the guilt. We need to forgive. We need to drop all the bullsh*t we were taught.”
“Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. Try approving of yourself and see what happens. Once you have your love for yourself, it’s with you for the rest of your life, so you want to make it the best relationship that you can have.”
“Fear sees limits, while love sees possibilities. Each attitude will be justified by the belief system you cherish. Change your allegiance from fear to love, and love will sustain you wherever you walk. Love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind.”
“What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us. I believe that everyone, myself included, is responsible for everything in our lives, the best and the worst. Every thought we think is creating our future. Each one of us creates our experiences by our thoughts and our feelings. The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences.”
“Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the main keys to positive changes in every area of our lives.”
“I am willing to release the need to be unworthy. I am worthy of the very best in life, and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it.”
“I say ‘out’ to every negative thought that comes to my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it.”
“If a thought or belief does not serve you, let it go!”
“Blame is one of the surest ways to stay in a problem. In blaming another, we give away our power. Understanding enables us to rise above the issue and take control of our future.”
“You can act yourself into a new way of thinking more easily than you can think yourself into a new way of acting.”
“Release the past, let it wash away. Take back your own power. Stop dwelling on what you don’t want. Use your mind to create what you do want. Let yourself flow with the tide of life.”

“I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.”
“I am constantly increasing my understanding. I am teachable. I am glad to be alive and so grateful for the good that has come to me. Life, to me, is an education. Every day I open my mind and my heart, as a child does, and I discover new insights, new people, new viewpoints, and new ways to understand what’s happening around me and within me.”
“Life is a lottery that we’ve already won. But most people have not cashed in their tickets.”
“Life doesn’t judge us, but we judge ourselves. Life doesn’t criticize us, but we criticize ourselves. Life doesn’t abandon us, but we often abandon ourselves.”
“You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we’re not. We always have the power of our minds. Claim and consciously use your power.”
“Think thoughts that make you happy. Do things that make you feel good. Be with people who make you feel good. Eat things that make your body feel good. Go at a pace that makes you feel good.”
“Love who and what you are and what you do. Laugh at yourself and at life, and nothing can touch you. It’s all temporary anyway. Next lifetime you will do it differently anyway, so why not do it differently right now?”
“The key to a happy, healthy, successful life is gratitude. It uplifts us and sustains and draws to us what we want. When we focus on what we want with gratitude, we draw it to us. We become a magnet for our good. When we give gratitude to life, life gives back to us.”
“Gratitude fills our hearts with gladness and allows us to see the truth, empowering us to make the right decisions and take appropriate actions. With a grateful heart, we can see the best in every situation and everyone we meet, and bring out their best.”
“For us to become whole and healthy, we must balance the body, mind and spirit. We need to take good care of our bodies. We need to have a positive mental attitude about ourselves and about life. And we need to have a strong spiritual connection. When these three things are balanced, we rejoice in living. No doctor or health practitioner can give us this unless we choose to take part in our healing process.”

“This is a new day. Begin anew to claim and create all that is good.”
“I am a student of life, and I love it.”
“I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams.”
“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. Change is the natural law of my life. I welcome change. I am willing to change. I choose to change my thinking. I choose to change the words I use. I move from the old to the new with ease and with joy. It is easier for me to forgive than I thought. Forgiving makes me feel free and light. It is with joy that I learn to love myself more and more. The more resentment I release, the more love I have to express. Changing my thoughts makes me feel good. I am learning to choose to make today a pleasure to experience. All is well in my world.”
“As I say yes to life, life says yes to me.”
“I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.”
“I trust the process of life to bring me my highest good. I deserve the best, and I accept it now.”
