But you\u2019re going to shine.\u00a0<strong>Here are 8 ways to remember\u00a0to live\u00a0the life you dream of, every single day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. I Am Magically Creative<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cWhatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.\u00a0<strong>Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I am\u00a0intentionally and powerfully creative. It\u2019s how I am made, and I spend time feeding, rather than repressing my creative energy. I know how to take a break from intense seasons of creation, but I always return to this\u00a0inner source of love and beauty\u00a0in the world.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. I Dream and\u00a0I Act<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cTwenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn\u2019t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.\u00a0<strong>Explore. Dream. Discover.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Mark Twain<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t just affirm my inherent beauty and goals for a fulfilled life; I also\u00a0<strong>ACT<\/strong>. Maybe not in enormous, ground-eating steps, but in small, determined ways that show I understand how once in a while there will be setbacks. I may not move quickly, but\u00a0<strong>I refuse to be defeated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. I Am Dedicated to\u00a0Self Love\u00a0and Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen I was around 18, I looked in the mirror and said, \u2018You\u2019re either going to love yourself or hate yourself.\u2019 And I decided to<strong>\u00a0love myself<\/strong>. That changed a lot of things.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Queen Latifah<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I believe 100% in self love and care. And I have a growing stockpile of delicious, soul-nourishing ideas that I will pull out regularly to treat myself. It\u2019s definitely NOT a case of a dragon hoarding her treasure \u2014 I have so many lovely \u201c<strong>flowers for my soul<\/strong>\u201d that everyone around me benefits, too!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. I Know What to Do When Fear Strikes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cYou gain strength, courage, and\u00a0confidence\u00a0by every experience in which you really<strong>\u00a0stop to look fear in the face<\/strong>. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Eleanor Roosevelt<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>When anxiety and fear strike, I know what to do. Sure, I might shake in my shoes a bit, but I also know to pull out that journal, call up that trusted coach or mentor, and<strong>figure out ways to face my fears and stresses<\/strong>\u00a0when they show up in life.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. I Blaze New Trails When I Need Them<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cDo not go where the path may lead;\u00a0<strong>go instead where there is no path and leave a trail<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em>\u2014 Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I am comfortable \u201cbreaking up\u201d with tradition, policy, or plans when I need a change. In fact I know exactly how to\u00a0<strong>create a new, healthier tradition that fits better with my needs<\/strong>, and I inspire others to have the courage and confidence to do the same.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. I Have a Powerful Voice, and I Will Use It<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cI raise up my voice\u2014not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard\u2026 we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2015Malala Yousafzai<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I use my words. Rather than play the old, tired, and confusing game of \u201cI hope\/wish he\/she just knows what I need,\u201d I know what I need and I\u2019m an ace at\u00a0<strong>communicating in a way that can be\u00a0heard and understood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. The Past Cannot Hold Me Back<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cConsult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with\u00a0<strong>what it is still possible for you to do<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Pope John XXIII<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t let the past rule my future. I\u2019ve made mistakes, some really serious ones in fact. But I\u2019ve moved forward and I refuse to allow the facts of my past to dictate what I can do in my future. Instead,\u00a0<strong>I use what I\u2019ve learned to build that future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>8. I Am Building a Beautiful Future Every Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cLuck? I don\u2019t know anything about luck. I\u2019ve never banked on it and I\u2019m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else:\u00a0<strong>Hard work<\/strong>\u2013and realizing what is opportunity and what isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n\u2014 Lucille Ball<\/p>\n<h3>My Affirmation:<\/h3>\n<p>I am most assuredly NOT afraid of hard work. Which is not to say it\u2019s always fun, or easy, but I know\u00a0<strong>what things are worth working toward<\/strong>, and I also understand that most things in life take years of determined and loving work. I got this!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Does He Really Love You Or Is He Just USING YOU?
