I let go of my fears for the future.

I look forward to my future with hope and confidence.

If the future brings joy, I welcome it.

If it brings challenges, I know that I have the strength and fortitude to conquer them.

As a result, I am free from fear.

If I am at the bottom of a curving stairway, I do not hesitate to take that first step just because I cannot see the top!

When I get in my car to go someplace, I do not fear what I may encounter on my journey!

In the same way, I move forward with my life and take action to reach my goals even though I cannot see my entire journey ahead of time.

I avoid fretting over what is to come.

Even now, with an intense political climate and a recession in full bloom, I can avoid worry.

Instead, I seek solutions and focus on what I CAN DO to experience the life I desire.

One thing I can do is to live in the moment.

When I am focused on this moment, there is no past or future.

There is only now!

I practice enjoying life moment by moment and relish the beauty that is all around me, just waiting for me to discover it!

My action plans to reach my goals are flexible.

I know that challenges are a natural part of life and I am free to change my path from time to time.

With this strategy, I can always be moving forward, even if I take a short detour.

Today, I choose to be carefree, put any worries in the past, and discover the beauty of this day.

What are your worries for the future?

What can you do today to help you focus on taking positive action?

I let go of resentment to heal my mind, body, and soul.

Keeping resentment inside of me poisons me, both mentally and physically.

Therefore, I release it.

It is no longer a part of my life and I embrace joy and good feelings instead.

As I let it go, I feel the healing begin.

My mental attitude is shifting to the positive.

I can see the good in people again.

I can feel the joy of everyday moments now that my mind is no longer clouded with constant resentment.

I feel stress-free, lighter and happier than I have been in a long time!

I can see the beauty that is all around me and I can focus on what is good.

Now that my mind is outputting positive energies, I can feel that I am attracting good things back to me, and I have better hopes and expectations for the future.

My body is clearing itself of the toxins produced by the negative emotions of resentment.

I can enjoy better health and a stronger immune system now that it does not have to use its resources to fight those poisons.

Releasing resentment is a cleansing experience.

Now that I no longer harbor such darkness, I feel closer to the clean perfection that I am meant to experience and my soul is refreshed!

I let resentment go and I am glad it’s gone.

Today, I plan to approach life with a positive attitude and avoid any tendency to hold in resentment for anything that happens.

I can let bygones be bygones, and focus on moving forward to where I want to be.

If you resent someone who is currently involved in your life, what can you do to change your attitude?

How will your life change for the better by releasing your resentment?

I live a life filled with clear priorities.

I strive to clarify my priorities and let these guide me in my thoughts, words, actions, and decisions.

This brings me a joyous life because I know I am focused on what is most important to my loved ones and myself.

When my thoughts are focused on my priorities, conflicting emotions of the moment pale in comparison to the big picture.

This keeps frustrations and disagreements at bay in my relationships.

If my spouse does something irritating, I remind myself why I love him so much and the irritant no longer bothers me!

I think, “If this is the worst he has, then how lucky am I?”

My words reflect my priorities.

They are always encouraging and supportive.

Even when I feel anger, my conversations are calm as I strive to find a solution to the situation.

At work, my conversations are productive and conducive to building a pleasant working environment.

My actions are based on my priorities, too.

I plan my schedule and my to-do list according to what is most important, leaving plenty of wiggle room to enable me to attend to anything important that comes up.

This way, my days are always productive.

I allow my priorities to guide my decisions.

This gives me confidence to forge ahead with whatever I decide because I always know the decision is the right one for me when it is based on what is most important in my life.

Today, I choose to reflect on my priorities so I can be confident that I am focusing on what is most important to me, rather than the daily distractions.

Who is most important to you?

What are your most important goals?

I strive to live an extraordinary life.

I look at life through rose-colored glasses.

I take an optimistic view of life and trust that good things will happen.

Consequently, I find that most of the time they do!

When challenges arise, I look for the silver lining and take advantage of it.

Sometimes I hear people say, “I never promised you a rose garden.”

However, I realize that a rose garden is exactly what I have!

Just as roses have thorns along with their incredible beauty, life has its piercing moments along with its joy.

One naturally goes along with the other.

I welcome this diversity and include it into my rose-colored view.

Just because my view is rosy does not mean that I see only what is good and ignore the rest! I accept it all.

Rather than clouding my view, they bring me perfect clarity!

The difference is that I focus more on the beauty and can often find something good in everything.

Take challenges, for instance.

Many times an obstacle gives me a new way of looking at something.

In the end, it provides me with new knowledge and, at times, this new knowledge is exactly what I need to reach my goal.

Today, I intend to keep my rose-colored glasses on at all times.

I hope for the best and I strive to find the silver lining in any challenges that may come my way.

How can seeking the silver lining help you overcome a current challenge?

How can an optimistic attitude help you move forward toward the life you desire?

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. – Margaret Fuller

I make decisions with the big picture in mind.

I keep my priorities and goals in clear view so that, regardless of the circumstances, I do what I know to be the right thing for me.

Even if emotions run high in a disagreement or the distractions of the day try to take away my focus, I automatically think of the big picture.

I ask myself, “What is most important here?”

In a disagreement with someone I love, I go with the solution that best maintains a positive, loving relationship, because that is what is most important to me.

Whether I am right or wrong about a trivial issue does not matter.

In business negotiations, I keep my primary goal in mind and my discussions open to any solution that works well for both of us.

This solidifies a profitable business relationship.

Another question I ask myself in order to keep the big picture in mind is, “Will this make a difference 5 years from now?”

If a single issue can make a difference 5 years from now, I know that it is a matter of some importance to my life.

Otherwise, I keep it in its proper perspective.

Either way, I make decisions accordingly, letting my priorities guide me in my decision.

I use this strategy every day, even in seemingly small decisions.

Keeping my priorities in mind allows me to choose to live life according to what is really important to me, rather than being blown willy-nilly by momentary distractions.

As a result, I live a fulfilling life!

Today, I intend to keep the big picture in mind and I let my priorities – not distractions – guide me in my decisions.

How have you clarified your priorities in life?

How can you get in the habit of keeping the big picture in mind?
