Musings + Affirmations: I am dedicated to self-development

Let him who would move the world first move himself.

Socrates

Affirmation: Today, and every day, I am dedicated to self-development.

Each and every day, my life is filled with opportunity. I can choose to learn and grow in so many ways.

What motivates me most, however, are opportunities to live my best vision of myself. Therefore, today and every day, I am dedicated to self-development.

My life is a path of endless growth. Because of this, I have learned to be more forgiving of times when I may say or do something that I later wish I had done differently.

I seize every opportunity to make a positive change in my life. Fortunately, this includes learning from each of my mistakes! So rather than seeing them as negative situations, I am thankful for them.

Each night before I go to bed, I reflect on my day. In addition to assessing opportunities for change, I also congratulate myself for the things that I have done or do well.

If I begin to feel a bit fatigued by the pressures of life, I remind myself of the many benefits I gain from my diligent pursuit of self-development and self-improvement. One of these benefits is having inner peace instead than caving in under every single pressure. This contemplation always motivates me to renew my efforts, and as I do so, I feel invigorated.

Today, I am dedicated to self-development.

I am thankful for every opportunity to re-create myself anew. And I recommit to growing toward my best vision of myself, each and every day.

Homework/ Journal prompts/ Self-Reflective Questions:

1. What are some of the self-development “projects” I have been working on lately?

2. Which projects challenge me most right now? Why? What can I do differently so that I can overcome these challenges?

3. In what ways have I changed intentionally, for the better, over the past year or two?
