Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Nothing can stir my interior freedom.

When fear and self-doubt approach me, I block them out of my mind with positive thoughts.

Peace surrounds my mind like a safety barricade, allowing only pleasant thoughts to come in.

Like a soldier, I have fought in the battle of the mind and won peace for my soul.

I have peace deep within my heart, which remains intact even in the face of trials.

My mind is empowered when I choose to focus my attention on positive memories instead of giving in to fear.

I am still because I know that I have a calling, a hope, and a future that I have yet to see.

I am certain that there is a plan for my life that is bigger than any obstacle I may face.

I have confidence in my abilities and in my knowledge because I have been created for a great purpose.

Loving and accepting the person that I am helps me feel free to believe in myself.

Accepting others just the way they are gives me the freedom to be myself.

My friends and family help me to be steadfast by believing in me and showing me their support.

Nothing can stir my interior freedom because I know that I am not alone. I have a loving support group that surrounds me and keeps me safe.

Today, I choose tranquility starting within my soul and stretching out to all those around me.

I relax to get my mind off the things I cannot control.

Live the Life You Desire – Now!

It seems that everything you’ve ever learned is about preparing yourself for a better future.

It’s easy to get so caught up in the future that you lose the ability to enjoy the life you’re living right now.

The Power Of The Present

The first thing you should do to take action toward a better life is to realize the power that the present moment holds.

There are different ways you can truly come to this realization, but the most popular and widely accepted method is meditation.

Meditation allows you to clear your mind.

It’s refreshing to focus on the present moment when you find the time to sit down and relax without any worries about the past or future.

This personal reflection time will allow you to sort out your inner thoughts.

On the flipside, take note of the number of times your mind tries to distract you from the present moment.

You’ll be surprised to see just how many times your mind steals the present moment from you, in order to dwell on the past or future.

Enjoying The Journey

Your journey is all you have. Your goals are important, but it’s the path you take toward your goals that yield many fruits.

You must be willing to enjoy your life and live consciously, even if you haven’t yet reached your goals.

If you have a lofty goal, such as becoming a doctor or the CEO of a large company, realize that it will take much planning and years of experience.

Once you reach your goal, you may feel fulfilled, but your life mustn’t be unhappy and miserable until you get there!

You can remain happy by concentrating on the present and enjoying the journey. As you make positive progress towards your goal, you’ll know that you’re always one step closer.

Envisioning Your Future Self

While you should spend a great deal of time enjoying the present moment, you can add to your happiness by envisioning your future self.

Reflect on the feelings associated with the successful completion of your goals.

Think about the traits you’ll exhibit when you have the life you desire. Now bring those traits into your present.

If you’re studying to be a doctor, you’re working long days for little or no pay.

You’re studying at all hours with little sleep.

You might feel almost tortured. That’s not the desired life you dreamt of having!

This is when you should be proud of the steps you’ve taken so far.

After all, what you’re learning now will shape your future, so you might as well approach today with joyful gratitude!

Live The Life You Want Now

Whether you maintain complete focus on your ultimate goals or not, it’s important to live the life you desire right now.

You don’t know how many days you’ve been allotted on this earth, and you owe it to yourself to make the most of them!

Keep these tips in mind:

Even on busy days, take at least some time for yourself

Don’t waste your time on people who don’t believe in you and your abilities

Adopt a “glass is half full” mentality

Most importantly, you need to believe in yourself. Some people are literally afraid of success.

They’ll put off action toward their dreams indefinitely because they fear success and fear that they’re incapable.

You mustn’t fall into this negative pattern. Don’t waste your time on dead ends. Instead, take action, learn your lessons, and enjoy the journey!

My wisdom grows each day.

Every day I learn something new from a diverse array of sources. My wisdom grows when I open myself up to the lessons all around me.

The world is my classroom and each person I come into contact with has the potential to be my teacher.

When I remove pride and prejudice from my mind, I allow myself to learn freely from the youngest infant to the most seasoned adult.

I give myself the gift of understanding when I accept the knowledge that can be found in the most unusual places.

I grow in wisdom and understanding when I humble myself with the thought that I cannot possibly know everything.

Accepting this fact lightens my load and helps me to actively seek more knowledge. I am a life long learner and a student of life.

My life’s lessons have made me well prepared for what I may encounter in the future.

I make wiser decisions each day based on the knowledge that I have attained through experience.

I choose to live my life with my head held high, no matter what mistakes I’ve made.

The mistakes of my past are in my past and I have learned from them.

Today, I allow myself to learn from the most unexpected teachers in order to grow in wisdom and understanding.

I choose to treasure the lessons of today to make better choices tomorrow and to freely share my knowledge with future generations.

Keys to Success: Perseverance

Achieving your goals is hardly ever an easy journey. If it were easy, we’d all already be there.

One of the keys to success is, without a doubt, perseverance. With improved perseverance you’ll have that extra push from within to try, try again.

Humans have the tendency to want to control everything. Since there are always situations that can’t be controlled, suffering occurs.

Unfortunately, this suffering can’t be escaped. Your goal should never be to avoid mistakes at all costs and seek control.

Your goal should be to strengthen your perseverance by effectively dealing with the situation when things go awry.

Keep these tips in mind as you strengthen your perseverance:

Never Give Up. When you have an ultimate goal, you owe it to yourself to completely follow through.

There are going to be plenty of bumps in the road. Don’t let any of these bumps bring you down.

Always be seeking new ways of approaching problems.

Seek Out the Positive. When things have become overwhelmingly negative for you, seek out positive things in your life.

You might want to surround yourself with loved ones or watch positive movies. You definitely want to seek out situations that’ll promote your optimism and enthusiasm.

Take Action and Responsibility. Do whatever you can to inspire yourself to take bold actions toward your goal.

Fight the urge to procrastinate or settle for less. Thinking about your goals is simply not enough; you need to start somewhere in order to get yourself there.

You can’t wait for some sign or higher power to get you to where you want to go, you must be willing to take action!

Get Help When Needed. Be wise enough to know when a situation warrants help from others.

You don’t need to take every single thing into your own hands.

Instead, choose to follow advice from the people you trust or the experts in your chosen field.

Flat out ask them how they’ve maintained the drive to keep going.

Know Your True Self. Knowing yourself and having organized thoughts can improve your perseverance.

When you know where you’re going and the steps you need to take to get there, that’s half the battle.

That’s why you need to take the proper amount of time for self-reflection. Know the true ins and outs of what you want and exactly why you want it.

Stop Bad Habits. Do everything in your power to put a stop to bad habits. If there are certain behaviors you’ve identified that are keeping you from achieving your goals, you need to get rid of them.

This could be simply negative thinking or you might be fighting procrastination.

When you concentrate on each bad habit individually, you’ll be better able to deal with the problems that might exist.

Concentrate on Stress Management. Stress management and your level of perseverance are definitely related.

When stress overwhelms you, it clouds your current thinking and brings on negativity.

Your perseverance can’t flourish in a negative environment.

You must first conquer any problems you have with stress so you’ll be better able to reach your goals.

Step By Step

Perseverance is likely already a part of your life. You just need to bring it out and strengthen its existence.

It all boils down to the power of thought. When you think you can, you will. When you think you can’t, you won’t.

What have you learned today?

How can you share your wisdom with others?

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failures is trying to please everybody. – Bill Cosby

When there is darkness, a greater light within me guides my way.

Darkness is powerless when I am around because I bring light with me wherever I go.

I shine my light boldly and proudly so that others may be uplifted by it.

The light of courage within me outshines the dark clouds of fear. Fear has no place in my life.

I embrace the unknown as a new adventure and let go of all concern, surrounding myself with peace.

The darkness of hate does not stand a chance against the light of love within me.

I choose to love all people regardless of who they are and what they look like.

My light shines brightest when I offer love and friendship even to those who hate me.

My pleasant attitude shines brighter than the negativity all around me.

The darkness of disappointment dissipates when I bring my positive spirit to the table.

In difficult situations, the negativity in others surrenders to the power of my light.

My passion to be a problem solver drives away the shadows cast by difficult problems.

I choose to value others with utmost respect. My desire for meaningful relationships prevents me from ever entering the valley of loneliness.

My internal light charts the path for my day.

Even when I feel like there is nothing left for me to give, I find a way to shine a little brighter and chase away the dark clouds in my way.

Today, I choose to shine with a positive attitude and a warm smile. With courage, love and peace, I eliminate all darkness from my life.

How can you shine in the face of adversity?

With whom can you share your light today?
