    13 statements of acceptance.

    Hi all,

    Many of you would have read this before, but i'm sure many have not. I'm a bloke, but i have this up on a wall and I find it inspiring, so thought i would share this here, as food for thought.

    13 Statements of Acceptance


    1. I have a life-threatening problem that once had me.

    I now take charge of my life. I accept the responsibility.

    2. Negative thoughts destroy only myself.

    My first conscious act must be to remove negativity from my life.

    3. Happiness is a habit I will develop.

    Happiness is created, not waited for.

    4. Problems bother me only to the degree I permit them to.

    I now better understand my problems and do not permit problems to overwhelm me.

    5. I am what I think.

    I am a capable, competent, caring, compassionate woman.

    6. Life can be ordinary or it can be great.

    Greatness is mine by a conscious effort.

    7. Love can change the course of my world.

    Caring becomes all important.

    8. The fundamental object of life is emotional and spiritual growth.

    Daily I put my life into a proper order, knowing which are the priorities.

    9. The past is gone forever.

    No longer will I be victimized by the past, I am a new person.

    10. All love given returns.

    I will learn to know that others love me.

    11. Enthusiasm is my daily exercise.

    I treasure all moments of my new life.

    12. I am a competent woman and have much to give life.

    This is what I am and I shall know it always.

    13. I am responsible for myself and for my actions.

    I am in charge of my mind, my thoughts, and my life.

                G,
                Nice reminder it's all in how we think. Happy people have the same problems as everyone else yet they don't dwell and wallow in them to the point of poisoning their inside.

                    Very nice and something to aspire to. I started to print it off at work today and put it on my bulletin board, and then thought better of it, lol. I think this might go on my fridge at home though.

                      lol LG. I have this stuck up behind my bedroom door, along with a couple of other inspirational words to keep my mind on the job......my freedom and happiness.

                          Thank you for posting this It is very insightful and has so much truth. I really believe that we need to take responsibility for our actions. Sometimes I can forget this though and go into the "poor me" scenario. I don't want to have the victim mentality anymore. I'm going to print this out and put it next to my vision board.
                          Courage is not the absence of fear, it's acting in spite of it.
