GG step 7

[MommytoEmandZach]

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
~Walt Disney

When you make a mistake, don't look back on it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
~Hugh White

Throughout this process I want to keep the mind set that I can do anything that I want to do.. The point is to actually do it.. I want to learn to be better at managing my time, and actually like the person I am for who I am...

[Vannie]

I will move closer to my starting this day.

I will print and frame my gols and place them on my desk so they are there to remind me to stay true and focused.

I believe what I have written under my signature. "Life is a journey, not a destination". If I do stumble I will not give up, I will continue my journey.

[Smallerbytheday]

I am a success in all that I do.

I am rewarded for all the work I do.

You cannot give to others unless your Self is full first

Steven Covey - Without involvement, there is no commitment. Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment

Myla Kabat-Zinn - Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart.

Monroe Forester - Hope is always available to us. When we feel defeated, we need only take a deep breath and say, "Yes," and hope will reappear.

Arthur C. Clarke - The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

Mme. Du Deffand - The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.

[wendy]

I like to make affirmations that are in the present tense. To me, saying "I will..." puts it in the future. By saying "I am..." puts it in the now. It's a lot easier to believe and suceed from my experience this way.

I am happy with my life and where I am. I am in less credit card debt than last year and this is continually lowering. I am doing what I can to achieve my goals for a healthier, happier life with my family.

[Lorri]

I will rely on god and the serenity prayer.

I will do my best to reach these goals and maintain them.

I will share with my husband what I want for us so that he too may understand and possibly share the same goals.

I will get back up again if I fall off the horse.

I will not beat myself up and abandon my goals because of a minor setback.

I will stick to tried and true methods for me yet welcome any new advice.

I will seek support and motivation rather than fall into the pity cave.

I will look for ways to expand my knowledge and better utilize my assests and abilities.

[kisskiss876]

I will be proud of myself.

When overwhelmed, I will remember all the fantastic things that I have

I will share my goals with Chris

I will be happy and not let little things get me down

I will be open to advice

I will seek support

[nuisance26]

~What a great, inspirational thread this is to read! I can almost feel the positive power through my computer screen! I CAN do this! And I can do it with a cheerful heart!

[broke2007]

I WILL prove them all wrong.

I will show them, and more importantly, myself, that I'm capable of doing anything I put my mind to.

I will be proud of myself when I look back on this year and realize how much I've accomplished.

I will allow myself to be happy.

I will not let little things get me down.

I will accept, seek, and welcome support.

I will share my goals with Josh.


In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid. Psalm 56:11

~Dr. Phil....Change can come in either of two important ways. Start behaving positively or stop behaving negatively........ I will start behaving positively

~I will encourage others when they are struggling.
"Help your brother's boat across, and your own will reach the shore."

~Obstacles won't stop me. I'll keep focused on this quote:
Obstacles don't have to stop you.
If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan

~I will keep a positive attitude throughout the year, knowing that when I look back on Dec. 31st, I can truly say I've succeeded within myself and with the help of others. This quote will be on my fridge:

The meaning of things lies not
in the things themselves,
but in our attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint Exupery

wow, well said. I will have to call upon God for help with this list. But I know I can accomplish it. I am excited to look back at the end of 08 and see how many I have accomplished, hopefully all of them.

I will keep the vision before me and as Habakkuk says, I will "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

It may seem in the middle of things that its not progressing, but in the end it will speak of all the work that has gone into it. I will remind myself of that. I will find a way past obstacles and barriers, because I will see that my goals come to pass. I can do this.

[mira]

I will keep my eyes on the goal but not allow it to overwhelm me.

I will also come back and read all of these wonderful quotes and ideas from time to time to help keep me on track.

Here's one of my favorite quotes that I need to use to help me not get so overwhelmed:

"There is more to life than increasing it's speed" Mahatma Ghandi
