Synopsis "Positive Mindsets for our Sojourn Here on Earth"
Within these pages, Raphael F. Lucas chronicles the impact of his conscious and deliberate use of Positive Affirmations and thoughts over the course of his life. He wishes all to understand that he felt compelled to complete this testimony for the benefit of anyone suffering from depression, oppression, fear, doubt, or questioning of personal goals. Consistent use of affirmations will ultimately bring one to an awareness of self and a peace which passes all understanding. Just as one may visit a gym to tone their physical body, one can use the science of the spoken words to elevate their mind and, hence, their world.About the AuthorRaphael F.
