"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." -Christian D. Larson

Good morning! Today is an amazing day and I am going to make it just that. Something wonderful is going to happen today and I can't wait to see what it is! Having a belief in yourself and all that you can accomplish is one of the best things you could ever do for yourself. Yes, other people can believe in you as well, but it does not have the same effect as you believing in yourself. Obstacles will always pop up for you and someone else's belief of what you can do will not help you solve your problems caused by these obstacles. You have to believe in yourself and that you can overcome these obstacles. You and only you can harbor this belief that it can be done. 

The path is not always clear cut from point A to point B. Sometimes you have to take the long cuts and roundabouts and the less traveled paths just to get to point B. But it is along these paths that you learn so much more about yourself and life in general. There are so many lessons to be learned as we go along in life and each pebble, stone, or boulder that pops up along that road, the more you learn. Keep learning and applying the lessons to your every day life. Keep believing in yourself and your ability to achieve your dreams and goals.

Now it's YOUR Turn to Reflect on This:
In your journal, reflect on those ideas in your head that are holding you back. What can you do to release anything that is holding you back? What can you do differently to believe that you really are capable of achieving everything you want to in this life? Next on a separate piece of paper, write out an exhaustive list of all of the people, ideas, situations, events, etc. that have ever done anything to hold you back in this lifetime. Write down each and every item that comes to mind. Once you have completed this list, say to it "I release you. I forgive you. You are no longer holding me back. I know I am capable of being who I want to be. I believe in myself." Then find somewhere safe to burn this list, keeping in mind all fire safety rules.

Today's Affirmation:
I believe in myself and I am capable of accomplishing anything and everything I set my mind to.
