I release any feelings of competition or comparison. I simply do my best and enjoy being me.

I grow spiritually when I accept responsibility for my life.

The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.

I give myself permission to be all that I can be, and I deserve the very best in life.

If we want to be respected and honored when we're older, then we must lay the groundwork by respecting and honoring the elders we meet in our lives today. How we treat them today is the way we'll be treated later.

I see my parents as tiny children who need love. I have compassion for my parents’ childhoods. I now know that I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn. I forgive them and set them free, and I set myself free.

I will not be distracted by noise, chatter, or setbacks. Patience, commitment, grace, and purpose will guide me.
