Positive Affirmations & Positive Sayings

When I do the things I love I am made stronger and in this way I am free to do what I choose.

I am a strong person with a fervent passion. When I act on what I love to do, I am free. I can accomplish what I desire and feel powerful. I am confident that what I choose to do in my life is right for me. It does not matter if I am doing what everyone else is doing because I am not seeking to win a popularity contest.

I know that sometimes other people think I should do something else, but their words do not sway me. Others are free to give their opinion just as I am free to live my dream.  While I listen respectfully to others, I know what is right for me and I am empowered when I act on this.

I have the strength to express myself and my feelings in a healthy way. I can express my desire to do things differently. I will be strong and do things that feel good to me even if it is not popular.

Today I will put myself first and do what I love to do. I am strong and I am powerful. I control my own thoughts and actions. No one can take that away from me.

I am true to myself and love myself enough to do what I want to do.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Have I been true to myself today?
2. How have I put myself first?
3. How can I be respectful to others while still respecting my own desires?

Roadblocks will never stop me. They are simply an indicator that I need to take a new path to achieve my goal.

My desires are given to me by my Creator, who made me with a unique set of hopes and dreams for a reason. If I wish to reach my deepest dreams, I must be willing to go further than ever before. If I wait for success to be handed to me, I am likely to finish life empty-handed.

Every life is always under construction, therefore, roadblocks and detours are virtually inevitable.

I can choose to be frustrated with the barriers ahead of me. I can choose to succumb to fear that I won't be able to find my way back.

Or I can accept what I cannot change, follow the signs, and enjoy the scenery. True, the route may be longer than the one I had intended to take. But it could lead me to opportunities and relationships that I would have missed out on otherwise.

I have a responsibility to follow the dreams that my Creator has given me. If I drop out because of difficulties, I deprive myself and those around me of my full potential. If I stop, I run the risk of becoming a roadblock to someone else.

I owe it to myself and to others to keep pressing on toward my dreams and desires, even when doing so involves an unexpected detour.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What is my heart's desire?
2. What roadblocks have I allowed to prevent me from pursuing this desire?
3. What is one step I will take today to start any necessary detours?
