Abraham Hicks Quotes So Simple Even Kids Can Feel Their Magic

When I was teaching upper elementary, I didn’t know any Abraham Hicks quotes, but looking back I realize I was already using many of the same kinds of words and ideas with my students. Their teachings about focus, alignment, and the power of words fit so well with what children in the second plane of development (ages 6–12) are ready to explore. It’s probably why I align with their wisdom so much now.

Even though I’m no longer in the classroom, I can see just how valuable these messages are for helping kids build confidence, mindfulness, and self-expression. That’s why I’m excited to share a few favorite Abraham Hicks quotes in a kid-friendly way, so children can begin to understand how their thoughts shape their world.

My Favorite Abraham Hicks Quotes for Kids

Here are some of my favorite Abraham Hicks quotes, along with how I’d approach them with kids.

“When you focus on the good, the good gets better.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d say that when we look for the positives, we start seeing more of them—like when you notice one kind friend, you start spotting kindness everywhere.

“You are all gifted, you just open your packages at different times.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d remind them that everyone learns and grows at their own pace. Just because one student discovers a talent sooner doesn’t mean others won’t find theirs.

“What you think about activates a vibration within you.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d explain that our thoughts send out a kind of “signal,” like music from a radio. If we think happy thoughts, we send out happy energy—and others can feel it too.

“The better you feel, the more in alignment you are.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d connect this to listening to their bodies and emotions. When something feels good, it usually means they’re on the right track.

“Feel appreciation for what is, and eagerness for what’s coming.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d explain that it’s powerful to enjoy what we have now while still getting excited about the future.

“A belief is just a thought you keep thinking.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d point out that repeating positive thoughts builds confidence, while repeating negative ones can hold us back.

“Your life is supposed to feel good to you.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d talk about joy being important, not just working hard. Life isn’t just about getting things done—it’s about finding what makes you feel happy and fulfilled.

“Upon waking, let your first thought be, thank you.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d explain that this quote is about starting the day with gratitude. When we wake up and say “thank you,” we begin the day focused on what’s good—like our warm bed, family, or the adventures ahead. It helps set a positive tone for everything that follows.

“Look around less, imagine more.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d tell them this means that while it’s good to notice what’s happening around us, it’s just as important to use our imagination to dream, create, and picture new possibilities. So instead of only seeing what is, we can start thinking about what could be.

“All possibilities are available right now. How do you want to feel?”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d tell them this means we always have choices about how we think and feel. Even when things don’t go our way, we can pause, take a breath, and choose a feeling that helps us move forward with hope or calm.

“There is nothing you cannot be, do or have.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d tell them this means they are capable of amazing things when they believe in themselves. If they can imagine it, work toward it, and stay kind and determined, there’s no limit to what they can become, do, or create in their lives.

“There is so much more that is going right in your world than wrong.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d remind them that it’s easy to focus on little things that go wrong, but when we stop and look around, there’s usually so much more going right. From friends who care to simple joys like sunshine or a good book, noticing the good helps us feel calmer, happier, and more grateful.

“The purpose of your life is joy.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d keep it simple: Life isn’t just about chores or schoolwork. It’s also about finding the things that make you happy.

“You are powerfully on your path. And you are just beginning the best part of your life.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d encourage them to see life as an exciting journey, full of discoveries and opportunities that are still to come.

“Appreciation is the secret to life. Become a person who appreciates and you will thrive.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d start a quick gratitude circle in class, showing them that noticing little things to be thankful for makes life brighter.

“Your emotions are your guidance system.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d explain that feelings are like a built-in compass. If something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to pause and make a new choice.

“Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d give examples, like saying, “Instead of saying ‘I don’t want to lose,’ say, ‘I want to do my best.’” This helps them practice positive focus.

“You are the creator of your own reality.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d tell them they have the power to make choices every day—what they focus on, how they respond, and what kind of day they create.

“Everything is always working out for you.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d use small examples, like when something doesn’t go as planned but ends up okay in the end, to show them how things often fall into place.

“Don’t give a rip what others think of you.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d phrase this gently: It’s good to care about kindness, but you don’t have to let other people’s opinions control your choices.

“Reach for a better feeling thought.”

💡 How I’d share this with kids: I’d explain that when they feel upset, they don’t have to jump straight to happy—but they can choose a thought that feels just a little better each time.
