In the second lesson of the '10 Principles for Your American Dream', Gillian Ortega addresses the principle of affirmation. She shares insights from the book 'How to Think Like a Millionaire' by Mark Fisher and Mark Allen, emphasizing the power of positive affirmations in overcoming self-sabotage.

Gillian encourages you to write down and display affirmations in your home, car, and other areas you frequently visit. Some of the powerful affirmations she shares include:

1. I am unique. I have something to offer.
2. It is my right and my duty to be myself.
3. I am becoming successful.
4. I invite success and prosperity into my life.
5. I attract the people and situations that will help me offer my service.
6. Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.
7. I am successful, confident, and enthusiastic.
8. I exercise daily control over my emotions and my work habits.
9. I always look for the best in others and the best in myself.
10. My positive attitude keeps me focused on my goals and inspires others.
11. I know God loves me and wants me to succeed, thus I will press on daily towards my goal.
12. I overcome any circumstance, condition, or obstacle that would hold me back.
13. Every day, I strive to be the best me possible.

The Power of Sleep Learning:

Gillian suggests recording these affirmations and listening to them as you sleep. This practice, she explains, lets your subconscious mind absorb positive affirmations, which can positively influence your mindset and actions the following day.

She also introduces a unique tool to facilitate this practice: a pillow speaker. She encourages you to purchase one, connect it to a device playing your recorded affirmations, and place it under your pillow to let your subconscious mind absorb these positive messages as you sleep.
