I am organized and I take the time to stay focused.

I am better prepared for anything that comes my way because my eye is on the details.

I am able to accomplish more in my day because I am organized and I stay focused on the task at hand. This helps me stay productive, regardless of what springs up in my day.

My life works smoothly because I am able to effectively prioritize everything in my life, from work to family and everything in between, including time especially carved out for me.

I am able to focus on the task at hand without worrying about what’s next or what I may be forgetting. I am able to re-arrange my schedule without losing hope or patience because I am flexible. And I know I am not forgetting anything because I choose to proactively organize and prioritize my life.

Today, I give myself the gift of an organized, yet flexible schedule. In doing so, I am able to relax and focus more than ever before. I can work more efficiently and my life becomes more productive because I am well prepared and focused.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    Have I taken the time to organize my schedule today?
2.    How has my organizational skills helped me with my focused?
3.    How has prioritizing my schedule helped me in my daily activities?

I am driven by my goals.

I set goals for myself so I can stay focused and driven on my life-long journey to success. Positive goals surround me in every aspect of my life. Whether it is my continual education, spirituality, career, or finances, my well-crafted goals push me further than ever before.

Goals are essential to me because they offer me a sense of achievement. When I set a specific goal and complete it, I feel purpose. Setting a specific time period to complete my goals allows me to work at them over time as I build momentum. Once I complete a goal I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Setting and completing goals propels me forward. My goals allow me to accomplish more in life. Once I set one goal and meet it, the feeling I get pushes me forward in my entire life. In doing so, I gain the power of passion and motivation which gives me the confidence to accomplish anything I set my mind to.

My goals give me a meaningful purpose, which inspires and motivates me. This motivation helps me enhance my weaknesses and strengthen my strengths. And in completing each goal, big or small, I feel a sense of pride and happiness that uplifts me in unimaginable ways.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    What goals do I currently have in my life?
2.    How do my goals motivate me?
3.    How do I feel when I complete a goal?

I allow myself to simply be me.

I believe that I was created by a master artist and I am confident that I am who I was meant to be, so I gladly allow myself to simply be me.

I may be a work-in-progress, but I keep myself continually open to the smoothing and shaping hands of my Maker. I choose not to waste time worrying about what could be, if I were someone else, because I am happy being me.

I believe that there is plan for my life. I may not be able to see it all clearly right now, and that’s okay. I don’t have to be able to see every step I need to take (or why I need to take it). I simply focus on developing the skills and talents instilled within me from the beginning. As I do so, my purpose becomes clearer, one step at a time.

Because I am confident in my purpose, I am able to relax and enjoy the success of others without feeling the need to compete. I let go of the tendency to glorify other people’s successes and to view them as more important than my own. Some may be more glittery and noticeable than my own, but they are no more important.

I want to thrive in my own life. This means that I must let go of the idea that I can, by sheer effort or willpower, fulfill someone else’s purpose. Instead, I focus on my own path, knowing that it, too, is important. After all, I am the only one suitably equipped with my talents, personality, and circumstances to fulfill my purpose.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    Am I trying to fulfill my own purpose or someone else’s?
2.    Am I able to be happy for others without feeling the need to compete?
3.    Do I recognize the value of my own set of talents and circumstances?
