During my life journey on this planet
  I shall start each day with these affirmations.

  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 can 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 allow 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 heal.

  I shall allow myself to feel worthy
                - so that I may fulfill my purpose.
  When I am centered,
  I see the perfection in the world, myself and others.
  When I find the world to be imperfect,
  I will take responsibility for painting it that way.
  I will look into the heart of a rose,
  or the eyes of a newborn baby
  and again 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.

  Who will I allow to write the next chapter of my life?
  I shall seek the courage
  to believe in a God or Higher Power
  who will laugh with me in the sunlight
  or cry with me in the darkness.
  I shall make a small difference on 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.
