<a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/19953384@N00/397186649">Photo by San Diego Shooter</a></span>I have confidence in who I am. In every situation I face, I strive to give the very best I have to give. My self-confidence stems from knowing that I am created with unique talents for a specific purpose.</p>
<p>My calling in life is different from others. My unique set of strengths enables me to achieve my purpose. I am equipped to manage my life successfully. That is why I only try to live my life and refrain from coveting the path someone else is traveling.</p>
<p>When I keep my eyes on the road ahead, I am able to move forward. I stay in my line at all times because shifting my focus, even for a second, may cause me to fall.</p>
<p>I am free from the need to measure myself up to the standards of others because I have my own set of standards. As long as I am working hard and taking care of my responsibilities, what others are doing is irrelevant to me.</p>
<p>I eradicate comparison from my thoughts by choosing to accept that life comes in seasons. I embrace the season in which I find myself because it is part of my journey.</p>
<p>We are all in different seasons of life and each season plays out differently for each individual. Through this season, I choose to live my life to the fullest. I accept myself with all of my imperfections and learn to be happy where I am.</p>
<p>Today, I choose to keep my eyes fixed on my goals. I push aside insecurity by loving myself just the way I am.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. When was the last time my eyes wandered into someone else&#8217;s race?<br />
2. Why is it important for me to only measure myself against my own standards?<br />
3. How is comparison detrimental to my mind?</p>

<a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93726493@N00/4472991886">Photo by pierofix</a></span>My life is full of people who love me and want what is best for me. Instead of worrying about negative people, I devote my time and attention to those who are a positive influence in my life.</p>
<p>I know there are people I can call when I need to talk. I am blessed with friends who lend a listening ear and are quick to speak the truth when I am in need. I appreciate the people who are always there to encourage me when I need them.</p>
<p>I have friends and family who rejoice with me when I celebrate a success. I seek to be around these friends because success is sweeter when shared. I let go of concern over people who choose to envy me, rather than support me.</p>
<p>When I embark on a new risk, I hear the voices of my loved ones cheering me on in my thoughts. I hear them say they believe in me and I shut out negative voices from my mind.</p>
<p>There is no room in my thoughts for people who dislike me. I do what I can to live in harmony with others, but I understand there are people who are difficult to please. I relinquish my desire to please critical people.</p>
<p>I stay away from negative people to keep my spirit uplifted. I refuse to allow critical people to bring me down. As long as I know I have done my best, I am at peace with myself.</p>
<p>Today, I choose to be thankful for the people in my life who are true friends. As I reflect on my life, I remind myself how much I matter to those who love me.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. Who are my encouraging friends?<br />
2. Am I thankful for my friends?<br />
3. How can I retrain my brain to block out the comments of critical people?</p>

<a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53756375@N00/2821921590">Photo by Yves.</a></span>My goals are important, and they matter to me. I set them realistically, and I meet them because I am committed to them. My mindset is one of success. I am strong and reach every goal I set because I have the ability and dedication to do so.</p>
<p>I am a successful person. Things are not always perfect, but I keep working at them until they become what I expect and want them to be. I refuse to see giving up or quitting as an option. I see only good things like success, peace, and joy in my life.</p>
<p>I reap what I sow, and I sow joy, success and strength. My goals are within my grasp. Each day, I see them getting closer. It is only a matter of time before I achieve my goals because I continue to work and persevere.</p>
<p>As I reach my goals, I set new ones, so I always have something worth working for. My goals hold my interest and I see the value in them.</p>
<p>My goals help me take charge of my life. I do things that matter. Through helping others strengthen themselves and reach their goals, I see my own improvement. That is much of what makes me successful.</p>
<p>Today, I feel confident that my goals are within reach and I take action to make them happen.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. How can I work toward meeting my goals more quickly?<br />
2. What should I do to keep my goals in perspective?<br />
3. Why is it so important that I set and work toward my goals?</p>

<a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43686508@N00/2556020114">Photo by BIJI KURIAN</a></span>I have so much joy in my life that I want to ensure others have joy as well. I like to share my happiness with the people around me. So much in life is wonderful, and I appreciate all the little things that make me happy, bring on laughter, or give me peace and tranquility.</p>
<p>Joy is contagious. I smile at people when I see them, so they know I appreciate them. I thank others for doing kind things for me. I help people when I see that they are down, so they can find more joy in their lives.</p>
<p>I like to give my joy away. I always have enough to fill my cup and still share with others. When I give joy away, I get even more to take its place. It&#8217;s fun to give my joy to others and see their reactions. It&#8217;s nice to see that I can make people happy.</p>
<p>I always find something to be joyful about. Even in challenging circumstances, I refuse to allow them to dictate whether I am happy. I have joy, even in the midst of trouble, because being happy and staying peaceful matters to me.</p>
<p>When I have joy in my life, I always feel fulfilled. By giving joy to others, I receive even more joy and find more fulfillment. I make it my mission to spread joy to others, so I can make them happy and bring extra happiness and peace to myself as well.</p>
<p>Today, I freely give my joy away to others, knowing I always get back what I give.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. How can I share my joy with other people?<br />
2. What is the best way for me to have more happiness?<br />
3. What should I do to cultivate joy in the world?</p>

<p>I do anything I need and want to do. I accomplish my goals and dreams easily because I know my abilities.</p>
<p>Whatever I set my mind to, I accomplish. Good things come my way naturally because I expect them to. I know I have what it takes. I welcome my destiny and expect success.</p>
<p>I think only of success, strength, joy, and the things I want in my life. By focusing on what I do well, I increase my chances of being successful. I see where I want to go in life, and I move toward it. I know I can reach my goal because I refuse to give up.</p>
<p>Each day I get closer to my goals. I have good plans for the future and I maintain hope and excitement about what I can do with my life.</p>
<p>I start fresh each day, and avoid waiting for the right moment to come along. Every moment is the right moment for hope.</p>
<p>In my mind, I see my goals completed. I see myself achieving my goals and making my dreams come true. I see my plans fulfilled and I am happy that I have the strength to bring great things into my life.</p>
<p>Today, I use my strength and capabilities to move closer to my goals and dreams.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. How do I use my strengths to reach my goal?<br />
2. What capabilities are most important to me?<br />
3. In what areas can I improve my strength and skills?</p>
