Today I wrote myself some affirmations that I can use in all areas of my life

I am presented challenges throughout my day so that I can demonstrate the level of my character in how I address each challenge. I am confided in because I am trustworthy. To be trusted is an honor not a chore and should be treated as such. I am asked to mentor because I have proven that I can present ideas, share my experiences and add insight in ways that are valued. I instinctively take the lead because I am confident in my skills and abilities as a leader. That does not make me an expert in everything, it means that I am comfortable managing tasks for myself and others and that I enjoy leading others so that they can feel appreciated and successful. I am asked to solve complex problems because I have spent years learning and practicing effective techniques that enable me to logically think outside the box. Every challenge is an opportunity to shine. I will SHINE.

Being wrong is alright
