Liz's Daily Anthem

Recently my little sister has been working on a new blog. As she's gotten closer to finishing it, she's allowed our family to take a sneak peek. Anyway, I was poking around on her site the other day and stumbled on her daily anthem. Basically she just sat down one day and decided to write out a pledge to her self that she could strive to live by. It really struck home for me so I decided (after asking her permission) to share it with you today. Enjoy!
I PROMISE to look in the mirror everyday and FIND new potential, new ventures, greater motivation… I will turn a blind eye to the physical flaws that I may feel hinder my true beauty, and cause me to be more harsh and critical of myself.

I SEE my strengths, talents, hopes and desires to be better, and SEE to it that I act upon those things.

I ACKNOWLEDGE that I am a beautiful young woman that has only just started her journey. I am excited about every opportunity that presents itself on my daily path.

I DO my best each day to be an example to each person that may come in contact with me. I carry myself in a manner that will only generate positive thoughts, feeling and conversation.

I RECOGNIZE when I have fallen short of my goals but am not hard on myself. Instead, I make a more valiant effort to try harder tomorrow.

I ENJOY every moment that I experience; the good, bad, happy and sad, the stressful, overwhelming, unpleasant and uncomfortable. And I do this because I know that these moments are helping mold me into the woman I want to be, and because I am choosing to let them effect my life, as well as the lessons I want to learn from them.

  1. What a great mantra! My favorite part is "I RECOGNIZE when I have fallen short of my goals but am not hard on myself. Instead, I make a more valiant effort to try harder tomorrow."

    I think that is so important and something I really need to remember. I have a tendency to beat myself up when I fall short of my goals but that's not very productive is it? Instead I'm going to take a page out of Liz's book and promise to try harder tomorrow. : ) love it!
