I Shall

by Samantha (Sam)   Jan 11, 2005


I am capable. I am worthwhile.
I am beautiful. I am lovable.
I shall accept both my strengths
& my weaknesses for they are me.

I shall never again believe the "lie"
that if I make a mistake, I am a mistake.
My mistakes are the learning tools
that I shall encounter on my life journey.

When I learn from my mistakes,
I give them meaning.
When I give my mistakes meaning,
I can begin to forgive myself,
I can begin to heal.

I shall not use my mistakes as excuses to give up on me.....
My mistakes are not me.

I shall seek the wisdom to nurture
my heart, mind, body, & soul
so that I may feel more centered.

Providing an energy reserve that allows me to climb the mountains in my own life.

Providing an energy reserve that allows me to love & support others
who are climbing a different mountain.

Providing an energy reserve that allows time for friends, play & the celebration of life.

I shall allow myself to feel capable
so that I may seek excellence.

I shall allow myself to feel sadness
so that joy may return.

I shall allow myself to feel joy so that I may be revitalized.

I shall allow myself to feel afraid so that I may find courage.

I shall allow myself to feel alone so that I may know me.

I shall allow myself to feel beautiful
so that I may feel free.

I shall allow myself to feel lovable
so that the loving may seek me.

I shall allow myself to feel pain
so that I may heal.

I shall allow myself to feel worthy
so that I may fulfill my purpose.

When I am centered,
I see the perfection in the world,
myself & others.

When I find the world to be imperfect,
I will take responsibility for painting it that way.

I will look into the heart of a rose,
or the eyes of a newborn baby
& again know perfection.

I take responsibility
for creating my own life story
through the choices I have made;
To blame others is to give away
my personal power.

Who will I allow to write
the next chapter of my life?

I shall seek the courage to believe
in a God or Higher Power, Who will laugh with me in the sunlight
or cry with me in the darkness.

I shall make a small difference on this planet through the work I do.
When I leave I will have done my share.

I shall live, love, laugh,
& learn on my journey.
