WORDS TO START EACH DAY OF THIS WEEK :

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 again 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 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 allows 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 Gently heal.

I shall allow myself to feel worthy...

So that I may fulfill my purpose.

I will look into the Heart of a rose...

Or the eyes of a newborn baby

And 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.

Without that... 

Who will write the next chapter of my life?

Who will laugh with me in the sunshine...

And cry with me in the darkness.

I shall make a small difference in 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.

 

Today is the beginning.

Are you ready?
