Affirmations

In college I had a journal that was only for me to write “I believe” comments in.  I was personally inspired by Savage Garden’s Affirmations, who in turn might have been inspired by Bull Durham… who knows… I thought I’d do some now in my effort to blog more (especially since work has been too busy for me to keep up with NaBloPoMo).

I believe…

• joy is a choice and one that should be chosen daily
• love is the greatest of all emotions
• hope is essential for life
• forgiveness heals you more than it will ever heal the one you forgive
• people will always disappoint you.  it’s not their fault; they’re human.  you do it, too.
• purpose and productivity lead directly to happiness
• everyone has a purpose and the ability to be productive; thus everyone has within them the ability to obtain happiness
• some people will never be happy because they choose not to be
• you don’t have the ability to make other’s choices for them
• my nieces light up my life
• God’s love is big enough for all of us
• all things happen for a reason
• no one is automatically defefinable.  if they are defined, they’ve allowed themselves to be.
• life is short; live it fully
• too much of my life has been wasted watching tv
• i will never be a domestic goddess
• small town illinois does not offer enough hotel options
• it’s good christmas only comes once a year; it keeps it magical
• i will never know everything i believe
