During
my life journey on this planet I shall start each day with the following
affirmations:
I
am capable, I am worthwhile, I am beautiful, I am lovable. I shall accept
both my strengths and my weaknesses for they are me. I
shall never believe the "lie" that if I make a mistake, I am a
mistake. My mistakes are the learning tools that I shall encounter on my
life journey. When I learn from my mistakes, I give them meaning. When I give my mistakes meaning, I can begin to forgive myself. I can begin to
heal. I shall not use my mistakes as excuses to give up on me. My mistakes
are not me.
I
shall seek the wisdom to nurture my heart, mind, body, and soul so that I
may feel more centered. Providing an energy reserve that allows me to
climb the mountains in my own life. Providing an energy reserve that
allows me to love and support others who are climbing a different
mountain. Providing an energy reserve that allows time for friends, play,
and celebration of life. I
shall allow myself to feel capable so that I may seek excellence. I shall
allow myself to feel sadness so that joy may return. I shall allow myself to
feel joy so that I may be revitalized. I shall allow myself to feel afraid
so that I may find courage. I shall allow myself to feel alone so that I
may know me. I shall allow myself to feel beautiful so that I may feel
free. I shall allow myself to feel lovable so that the loving may seek me.
I shall allow myself to feel pain so that I may heal. I shall allow myself
to feel worthy so that I may fulfill my purpose. When
I am centered, I see the perfection in the world, myself and others. When
I find the world to be imperfect, I will take responsibility for painting
it that way. I
will look into the heart of a rose, or the eyes of a newborn baby and
again know perfection. I take responsibility for creating my own life
story through the choices I have made; to blame others is to give away my
personal power.
Who
will I allow to write the next chapter of my life? I shall seek the
courage to believe in a God or Higher Power who will laugh with me in the
sunlight or cry with me in the darkness.
I
shall make a difference on this planet through the work I do - when I
leave I will have done my share. I shall live, love, laugh and learn on my
journey.

cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of
trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
ambition aspired and success achieved. ~Helen Keller~
