Everyone wants to live a life full of meaning, purpose, and success. Yet, you clutter your mind with limiting thoughts of can't do this, can't do that, it's too high, too far, too greater to achieve. Divided into two sections, Subliminal Affirmations and Laws of Attraction guide, this audiobook will show that your subconscious is the most powerful tool to help alter your life in a positive manner.
