LAUGH WHEN
YOU can. Cry when you need to. Focus on your priorities. Make decisions,
not excuses. And always stay true to your values. Yes, today is the
perfect day to stand up and say:
1.
I am fighting hard for the things I want most.
The harder
you have to fight for something, the more it will be worth to you once
you achieve it. Most great things don't come easy, but they are worth
waiting for and fighting for.
2.
I am taking action now.
Many great
things can be done in a day if you don't always make that day tomorrow.
Don't let your fear of making a mistake stop you from getting started.
3.
I am focusing on the next positive step.
We sometimes
face situations that can stop us dead in our tracks, frozen with fear.
We can either stay stuck in that place, or we can gently remove our
attention from whatever is happening and focus instead on our next
step—on what is possible now.
4.
I am proud to wear my truth.
How you see
yourself means everything. To be beautiful means to live confidently in
your own skin. Say it, and then say it again: “This is my life, my
choices, my mistakes, and my lessons. Not yours."
5.
I have a lot to smile about.
Happiness is
not a result of getting something you don‟t have, but rather of
recognizing and appreciating what you do have. You create happiness with
your attitude, your behaviour, and your actions. It is all up to you.
6.
I am making the best of it.
Everything
you go through grows you. Let each day be a scavenger hunt in which you
must find at least one of these things: a sincere laugh, an act of
kindness, a realization, or a lesson that will lead you closer to your
dreams.
7.
I am letting go of yesterday's stress.
Sometimes the
reason it‟s so hard for us to be happy is simply because we refuse to
let go of the things that make us upset. As the sun sets on this day,
let it go. Leave behind the stress, the drama, and the worries. Tomorrow
is about hope, new possibilities, and the opportunity to make a better
day.
8. There is
enough time today to do something I love.
Where did you
leave your happiness? With an old lover? In a city where you once lived?
In a story you never finished writing? In a dream you gave up on? In a
hope you got too weary to carry? Wherever you left it, go back and
retrieve it. If you don‟t remember where you left it, dedicate
a little time today to doing something you love to do, and you
will find your happiness somewhere nearby.
9.
I am priceless in someone's eyes.
Being with
someone who overlooks your worth isn't loyalty, it's a total waste of
what could be. Focus on those who love and accept you for who you are,
and shower them with the love and kindness they deserve. And above all,
cherish the people who saw you when you were invisible to everyone else.
10. It's not
too late.
No matter who
you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you
can always change and become a better version of yourself. Peace,
strength, and direction will come to you when you manage to tune out the
noisy judgments of others in an effort to better hear the soft and
steady hum of your own inner strength. And once you hear it, you will
realize that it's not too late to be what you might have been.
