We alter our lives 

by the opinions we hold of them.

If we see ourselves as daring,

we will dare.

We can change our lives

by changing our perceptions.

We can identify

those plots and patterns

we wish to alter.

While it is important

to have the faculty

of self-scrutiny ,

it is equally important

to have the gift 

of SELF-APPRECIATION.

We can identify

and cherish

those character traits

which are our STRENGTHS.

I acknowledge and appreciate 

my own accomplishments

and talents.

I note

 when I do well 

and applaud myself 

for my merits.

Such self-appraisal

is not mere narcissism.

It is the bedrock 

of solid self-worth.

Today , I take

a positive inventory

of my assets.

I count and consider

my own virtues.

I notice 

what I value

and I build upon 

those values.

I become

the person

I choose to be

Today I share 

with you my inspiration

for this week.
