The Morning Vow
The following passage is from the Book titled The Carpenter. I read an article by Geoffrey James via Inc Magazine a few months ago and have found it very inspirational. Each morning I read the passage below and can't help but feel the power of positive thought when reciting it. I've wanted to share this for sometime however have been so busy the last few months I have not gotten the chance until now. I hope you might find it empowering and it has as positive affect on you as it has for me.
I vow to stay positive in the face of negativity;
When I am surrounded by pessimism, I will choose optimism;
When I feel fear, I will choose faith;
When I want to hate, I will choose love;
When I want to be bitter, I will choose to get better;
When I experience a challenge, I will look for an opportunity to learn and grow;
When I experience a setback, I will be resilient;
When I meet failure, I will fail forward, toward future success;
With vision, hope, and faith, I will never give up and will always move forward toward my destiny;
I believe my best days are ahead of me, not behind me;
I believe I'm here for a reason and my purpose is greater than my challenges;
I believe that being positive not only makes me better, it make everyone around me better;
So today and every day I will be positive and strive to make a positive impact on the world.
