“Bad luck picks its company by invitation only.”
-African-American folk saying
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
What bad luck have you invited into your space? Think about that for a moment...
When something bad happens, how come we accept it so easily? We say things like it's not my time, it wasn’t meant to be, and in extreme cases, I give up...
I am sharing this profound reminder from Iyanla Vanzant:
-From her book, Acts of Faith
What you ask for, you get. What you see, you are. What you give, you get back, someday, somehow, sooner or later.
The only way to create success or luck is to think, speak, and act in ways that support ourselves.
“If you are positive, you’ll see opportunities instead of obstacles.” -Wadad Akrawi
Today’s Affirmation: from Iyanla Vanzant’s, Until Today...
I am devoted to forgiving myself for believing things about myself that were not true!
“The less you respond to negative people, the more positive your life will become.”
-Paolo Coelho
Today’s Challenge: Forgive yourself forward JOURNAL
Examine how you conduct yourself in realizing your goals and dreams. Ask yourself the following questions:
Does my behavior support or contradict what I believe about myself?
What inaccurate thoughts in my mind need to change?
How can I reframe this thought into positive action?
What is one small step I can take today to move forward?
What can I be grateful for in my life today?
What are 3 things I can be grateful for about myself
“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.”
-Shiv Khera
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity! Be intentional, encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
