"It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen." ~ Muhammad Ali, boxing heavyweight champion.
When we read or speak out loud, something on repeat, it encourages our brain to accept that which we have read or spoken, as fact; to believe it. And when you truly believe something, your vibration will match that frequency and attract more similar vibrations to you.
Each week I shall share a gratitude quote with you from people of all walks of life, from all corners of the globe. These quotes are designed to inspire you and help you stay focused on gratitude. When you save these quotes to your desktop and/or mobile and read or speak them out loud, often throughout the day, they become a gratitude affirmation.
Note: details of how to download the wallpapers is provided below the final, currently-available wallpaper.

how to download your wallpaper
desktop
Before copying one of the pictures below, you'll want to quickly check your screen settings because the worst thing you can do is use a wallpaper with an aspect ratio that differs from the aspect ratio of your screen.
The aspect ratio of a rectangle is simply the proportion between width and height. The most common are 16:9, 16:10 and 4:3. And it will be for these 3 sizes that I shall provide you with your free wallpaper.
To find your screen resolution follow this basic guide. Steps for your computer may vary slightly but I hope this will give you some guidance:
- Right-click the desktop and select Display settings.
- Scroll down until you see "Resolution" (you may have to choose an "Advanced" option)
- To find your aspect ratio, divide the width over the height. For example, if my resolution is 1920 x 1080 then I would divide 1920 over 1080 to get 1.778, which indicates a 16:9 resolution. Similarly, 1.6 indicated 16:10 and 1.333 indicates 4:3
- When you've calculated your screen's aspect ratio, go to the picture below that matches that size
- Right click on the picture and select "Set as Desktop Background"
- Choose whether to "Fill", "Fit", or "Stretch" your picture - if you've chosen the right size "Fit" will be your best option
- Select "Set Desktop Background" and you're done

- Another set of options will appear where you can choose where the photo you would like to use will be coming from, namely the Gallery.
