Looking beyond

I choose to look beyond the present circumstances of this day and acknowledge my belief that the current moment is temporary.  Often I drag myself down when I allow my reality to be defined by situations, interactions with others, circumstance, and feelings that are fleeting.  I choose to ground myself in the truth of my being today.  I am a strong and capable person.  I am loveable just the way I am.  I am no better or no worse than anyone else.  I have a right to be treated with respect.  I am a person of worth and value.  I can grow and change my mind if I decide I need to do so.  It is safe to be who I am here and now.
