Affirmation:

8/25:

"Qualities you see in others, reveal something about you."

You may not realize it, but the characteristics you like or dislike in others delivers a special message.

If you respond to a person that you see as outgoing, positive and energetic, these are most likely qualities you possessed, but have not fully embraced or developed. Likewise, if you react to the overbearing nature of another, then do a self check,you may have tendency to be overbearing yourself.

Either way, turn into what you do and don't admire in others. Take notes of your emotion response. With this new found awareness you can't help but discover something you didn't know about yourself.

Today's affirmation:The qualities I respond to in others reflect who I am.

8/26:

I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.
-Og Mandino 1923-1996, Author and Speaker

9/17:
"Happiness is not the destination."

Many people slog for a lifetime looking for happiness. They feel guilty doing things they enjoy. So they take care of their jobs, their families and their children thinking that the time for happiness will come later. In the end, they discover that it doesn't.

Believe that you deserve happiness right now!

You know those early hours in the morning when the house is quiet and the mist is floating outside the window? That is happiness. Remember how it felt to hold your baby for the first time? That is happiness. Remember how you felt when you achieved what seemed like an impossible goal? That is happiness.

Do not defer your happiness to a later date. Find joy in what you do every day.

Today's affirmation: I deserve to be happy right now.

10/5
"Admit your mistake! It's your most empowering choice."

We all make mistakes. It's a fact of life. What matters is what you do afterward.

You have a choice. You can let your mistake torment you, embarrass you, and hold you back. Or, you can admit you made a mistake, learn from it, and move on.

Mistakes are lessons in disguise. You can learn something from each and every one. Next time, you make a mistake, act quickly and decisively. Take responsibility and look for the lesson. Use the lesson to reach greater success and good fortune in your life.

Learn from your mistakes. Only then can they empower you to greater heights.

Today's affirmation: I admit my mistakes and learn from them.
