I Embrace New Opportunities

I embrace new opportunities with an open mind.

My open mind welcomes new opportunities into my life. I look forward to trying new things because I have a deep desire to expand my knowledge and experience new adventures.

Embracing new opportunities brings positive change into my life.  I have the chance to experience personal growth and enlightenment by welcoming new joys each and every day.

Without experiencing something, I will never know the happiness it could bring into my life.  I am so grateful for the unexpected bliss that new opportunities offer.  I think of each new experience as an unopened present just waiting to be unwrapped.

When I think about the risks I have taken in my life, I realize the bountiful rewards I have received because I overcame uncertainty.

When I took a new job, I found new fulfillment in my work.  When I went on a first date, I gave myself the chance to find a life partner.  When I talked to a stranger, I invited a new friend into my life.  When I tried a new recipe, I discovered a great dish to share with my family.

My experiences make me a richer person, so I actively invite new opportunities into my life. After all, some of my best life stories began with a new experience.

I am so grateful for the gift of possibility. New pleasures await me.  Not only do I welcome new opportunities into my life, but I also search out and embrace experiences with an open mind and a loving heart.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    What risks have I taken in life and how have I been rewarded by those risks?
2.    Do I keep my mind open when I am presented with a new opportunity?
3.    When I think of new opportunities, do I imagine each new experience as an unopened present?

Just Say No

I know when to say no. I never take on more work than I can comfortably accomplish.

Delegating out responsibility is a talent. So is just saying no.

I know exactly what to do and when to do it. I don’t have vague ambitions. I sit down, think, and come to understand what it is I want out of my life. I know what I need to do to get there. I never let my life get out of control. I always keep my goals on target and I never neglect my body in the process.

When I find myself with more work than I can deal with, I don’t make sacrifices. I don’t steal valuable time away from other facets of my life. I have the courage to simply say no to the job. If I can, I will happily hand off the job to someone that can handle it.

Soon those around me begin to understand and respect my discretion. They come to expect quality and honesty. I never make promises I cannot keep. Although some may expect me to happily say yes even when I know I should say no, I am not afraid to set a precedent. I am not afraid to say no. There is no better time to start than today.

I offer out work to others and I don’t feel like a bad person for doing so. By thinking of myself first, I stay on top of my game and everyone around me benefits as a result. I never lose sleep, take on unneeded stress, or sacrifice my family to the job.

Questions of Reflection:

1. Am I afraid to say no?
2. Do I show as much respect to my personal life as I do to my professional life?
3. What steps can I take to make my life easier?

Learn From the Past

I learn from the past, embrace the present, and push ahead into the future.

Everything I aim for is based on something that I have learned about life in the past.

I have made mistakes and I have learned valuable lessons. Not only have they shown me what I need to avoid, but what I need to aim for. The negative experiences in my life are blessings in disguise. They helped shape my ambition and understanding of life. I only know what I want because of my many painful life lessons.

I am not embarrassed by my mistakes and I refuse to run away from them. They are as valuable to me as my victories. They are trophies of another breed. I accept them, value them, and learn from them. I use the hard times of my life to better appreciate the present and to direct myself into the future.

I enjoy seeing situations from my past repeat themselves. I am encouraged by my ability to handle them differently the second time around. This shows me that I can improve and evolve as a person.

Questions of Reflection:

1. What about my past can help me with my future?
2. Do I value my mistakes as much as my successes?
3. Am I able to avoid repeating my mistakes?
