impact others’ lives

• Thank the spiritual being for the opportunities I
experienced throughout the day
• Focus on the positive

20. REMOVED FROM THE PROCESS

• I don’t ask this – no sense in dwelling on what was
and how it could have changed. It’s more about
moving forward.
• Daily affirmations – “I am”
• I am confident in myself and my being that I do
not use “I am” affirmations in my life.

TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL BE MORE
DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T DO THAN BY
THE ONES YOU DID DO. SO THROW OFF THE BOWLINES.
SAIL AWAY FROM THE SAFE HARBOR. CATCH THE TRADE
WINDS IN YOUR SAILS. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.
