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.

Holding on.

“There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.” ― Kate DiCamillo , Because of Winn-Dixie

Go lightly

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it's the best advice ever given me... So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly."

The truth

  “We tell ourselves we don't speak the truth because we don't want to hurt others, but it's far more likely that we don't want to bear the consequences of our choices. We tell a white lie to a friend that we're "busy" the night they ask us to do something when we don't feel like going. We don't tell our partner we're mentally and emotionally checked out of our marriage, not because it will hurt them, but because of the consequences of this choice. We don't flag the problem at work because we'll be tasked with the solution. The stories we tell aren't protecting others. They're protecting ourselves. ” -Shane Parrish
