My mind is at peace with who I am because it is who I have chosen to be and I am grateful to be able to chose.<\/p>\n
I am a devoted friend, a loving parent .all-around fun person
\nand a successful entrepreneur.<\/p>\n
Who I am depends solely
\non how I see myself and how I chose to behave.<\/p>\n
I identify myself not by where I come from,
\nbut by where I am choosing to go.<\/p>\n
I think and speak positively of myself in order to build up
\nmy spirit with my words and am a firm believer in \u201cThe Secret\u201d.<\/p>\n
When I acknowledge my worth with certainty, I
\nam a force to be reckoned with. I know that I
\nwas created for a purpose and that my life has
\na calling. My family, my friends, and my Creator
\nvalue me more than diamonds.<\/p>\n
Although I seek to be at peace with everyone, I
\nlive for myself and for my family. I reject negative
\ncriticism, therefore I am unaffected by
\nothers\u2019 negative opinions.<\/p>\n
If I am ever faced with denigration, I move on
\nquickly without dwelling on it and remind myself
\nof all the greatness within me.<\/p>\n
Understanding my worth enables me to take
\nrisks beyond my imagination. When I let go of
\nself-doubt, I soar far above mediocrity and I
\nbecome extraordinary. My confidence also
\nhelps me to refrain from judgment, accepting
\nothers as they are.<\/p>\n
Today, I choose to lift the limits of my possibilities
\nby recognizing my value and embracing the
\nperson that I am.<\/p>\n

\n1. What are some great things about me?
\n2. Do I reject negative criticism?
\n3. How can I overcome that which prevents me from taking risks?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nharmony.<\/p>\n

I Am Tapping Into My Creative Side<\/h2>\n
\"creativity%20sign\"<\/p>\n
I have a creative mind, filled with beautiful
\nideas. I can be anything I want to be if I only tap
\ninto my creative side and allow creativity to
\nflow.
\nI have been blessed with many talents and
\nwish to develop them in such a way that I
\ncan impact the lives of others.
\nEvery chance I get, I read magazines, books,
\nand the work of other creative minds. Reading
\nabout others\u2019 creativity inspires me to try new
\nideas of my own. I allow the pictures and words
\nI read to speak to my senses.
\nI seek inspiration in the natural, everyday
\nlife around me. There is no greater beauty
\nthan that found in nature; therefore, I spend
\ntime alone paying attention to the small things
\noutdoors.
\nChildren are some of life\u2019s most creative
\nsources of inspiration. It is so refreshing to look
\nat the world through the eyes of a child and see
\nthe wonder I often take for granted. Spending
\ntime with children boosts my creativity.<\/p>\n
Listening to music also gets my creative juices
\nflowing. Music elicits a slew of emotions by tapping
\ninto my memories and awakening my
\nheart. When I listen to music, I pay attention to
\nthe many details that meld together to create a
\nbeautiful harmony.
\nWhether it is in reading, writing, art, nature,
\nchildren, or music, my senses are set to find
\ninspiration.
\nToday, I choose to turn inspiration into creativity
\nand launch myself forward with ideas of my
\nown. I am a creative individual whose time has
\ncome to share my talents with the world.
\nSelf-Reflection Questions:
\n1. What inspires me?
\n2. What have I been afraid to try in the past?
\n3. How can I tap into my creative side today?

5th Daily Afirmation<\/pre>\n
I Do As I Think<\/h2>\n
\"The_Art_of_Thinking_Clearly_001\"
\nMy thoughts, whether positive or negative, directly
\naffect my actions and decisions.
\nFor example, if my mind is convinced that there
\nis nothing I can do to lose weight, I subconsciously
\nserve myself larger portions.<\/p>\n
In turn, my hopeless thoughts inhibit my weight loss efforts
\nand, therefore, force the number on the
\nscale to remain the same or even rise.
\nI am a master at spotting self-sabotaging
\nthoughts, and order an immediate stop to any
\nnegative thoughts that may hinder my success
\nin any situation.
\nI know that I do as I think, so I let go of my insecure
\nthoughts before I make important decisions.
\nI am capable of achieving anything I set my
\nmind to. It may be scary to try something new,
\nbecause there is always a chance of failure. But
\nthere is also always a chance at success, and
\nthat is what I choose to focus on!
\nIn most situations, success depends 50% on
\nmindset and 50% on effort.
\nBy forcing my mind into an \u201cI can do this\u201d mindset,
\nI open the avenue to perseverance and increased
\neffort in all situations. Therefore, I substantially
\nincrease my probability of success!
\nWhen my thoughts take a turn for the worse,
\nI quickly remind myself of my accomplishments.
\nSince I do as I think, my mind is my
\nstrongest ally when I have a positive mindset.
\nToday, I remind myself that I am an accomplished
\nindividual. I have strong assets that I
\nskillfully use to build a better tomorrow.
\nSelf-Reflection Questions:
\n1. What are my strongest positive personality
\ntraits?
\n2. Has my insecurity stopped me from achieving
\ngoals in the past?
\n3. How can I increase my level of confidence?

6th Daily Affirmation<\/pre>\n
I Turn Failure Into Opportunity<\/h2>\n
\"heart<\/p>\n
I turn failure into opportunity
\nI turn failure into an opportunity for growth by
\nlearning from my experiences and proceeding
\nin my journey.<\/p>\n
By moving forward instead of
\ngiving up, I give myself the gift of a new opportunity
\nto fulfill my purpose.
\nTo learn from my experiences, I look at the past
\nobjectively. I acknowledge my errors without
\nself-condemnation because mistakes are part
\nof life.
\nWhen I fail, I accept it as an opportunity for success.
\nFailure does not mean that I am a bad
\nperson; therefore, I am free from internalizing
\nand personalizing disappointment.
\nIn the words of Thomas Edison, \u201cI haven\u2019t
\nfailed; I\u2019ve found 10,000 ways that don\u2019t work.\u201d
\nEach time I seem to fail, I discover another option
\nthat can be eliminated.
\nI intentionally focus on the meaningful lessons
\nof everyday life because life is about purpose
\nand not about the mundane nuisances of my
\nwork.
\nReaching a dead end may be painful because it
\nis not the outcome I desired, but happiness is
\nnot about the absence of pain; rather, it\u2019s
\nabout the realization of purpose.
\nWho I become, as molded by the experiences
\nof my journey, is as important to me as where I
\nfinish.
\nWhen I feel overwhelmed by seemingly impossible
\ncircumstances, I remind myself that, from
\nwhere I stand, I can only see a small glimpse of
\nthe big picture of my life. I turn that discouragement
\ninto opportunity by refusing to give up.
\nToday, I choose to have faith and trust that
\nthere is a plan for my life bigger than what
\nmy eyes can see. No matter how many times I
\nfail, I resolve to get up and continue to follow
\nmy dreams.
\nSelf-Reflection Questions:
\n1. Do I need to forgive myself for a past failure?
\n2. What lessons have I learned from a recent
\nfailure?
\n3. How has failure helped me redirect my
\ndreams?<\/p>\n
