EMPOWERING MYSELF

Internal pressure to feel ‘less than’ surrounds me this day.   I will acknowledge these beliefs exist and then present evidence to challenge these critical and negative voices.  I am definitely not perfect and thankfully no one else is either.  I am allowed to make mistakes and frequently they provide profound insight and learning.  My worth and value is fortunately not determined by what I do or don’t do but rather by being who I am.  Others have shown this truth to me time and time again.  I have never felt contentment or peace by allowing myself to build a permanent residence in the role of victim.  ‘Poor-me thinking’ only results in isolation and resentment.  I can move out of the victim neighborhood anytime I choose to do so.

Today, I will affirm the substance of my being and choose to live in the community of empowerment and enough-ness.  I will seek out other neighbors who inspire and encourage me.   This is where I truly belong and feel at home.
