Are affirmations always first person?

Lately, I've been searching for positive affirmations online.  I would like to adopt some affirmations and make them my own.  However, many of the affirmations that I see online are written in the third person, so I have to rewrite them just to make them applicable to myself.  All this tailoring is necessary as I'm the only person who knows the specific situation that I'm in.  Still, I wonder if third person affirmations are effective.  Maybe these amount to no more than just inspirational quotes.  What do you think about that?

You might be reading positive quotes rather than affirmations.  Sometimes, you will see a quote on a meme and this is supposed to give you encouragement but doesn't do much in the way of being an affirmation.

Before something can serve you as an affirmation you should personalize it to your own life and situation to address your own needs.

I totally agree Skylar.
