So – I totally stole the below concept from my running buddy Mr. Jason Mraz. Ok, we don’t necessarily hang out together – but we did run the Country Music Marathon last year…with 30,000 of our closest friends! I really think he’s on to something here because we often start off a day totally defeated because all we see are our failures and broken dreams and promises. Why not remember who God made us to be as we start our day? Why not affirm the wonderful blessings in our lives and remember how beautiful this life can be.

Why is it easier to affirm “something’s wrong” than to say “everything’s great?”

Isn’t it strange for us to say, “I’m lazy. I’m fat. I’m no good,” thereby creating our life experience to be one that is late, tired, and worthless. Leave it to our egos to keep us in that small game and hold us back. If you haven’t started yet, I invite you take on affirmations that brighten your day. Create a bigger life for yourself simple by saying things like, “I am tireless, perfect being. I have access to everything and I am complete.”

Check out Jessica’s Daily Affirmation. She’s got it all figured out.

Go shout everything you love about you.

Dear Mom & Dad -

I know I am loved. First off, I know my Lord loves me without ceasing and my parents and friends would do anything for me. I am whole and complete just as I am. I love my life. I love my job. I love my brother and sis n law. I love my puppy. I love my friends. I love running. I love that I am bald. I love that this is what my life looks like. I love you!

Psalm 139:13-18

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
