The words “I am” are powerful. We are declaring who weare to the universe.

Honesty, when used aggressively, or meanly towards oneself, is not honesty, but unkindness, or even cruelty. Don’t mistake one for the other. Honesty is not meant to hurt, but to help.

Honesty, when combined with Mindfulness,is having a keen awareness of what it iswe want to convey, and why.

And that’s what authenticity is: it’s a choice to be real.We have that choice every moment of our lives. We canchoose to be real and authentic, or we can choose to beinauthentic and to live a lie.

I am authenticI live in harmony with who I amI am true to my nature

I am connected to my purposeI am proud of my purposeI enjoy sharing my purpose with others

Each moment of our lives is magical, as I said, and evenif you’re truly miserable in your job, or doing whatever itis that keeps making you feel miserable, you need to stop,breathe, and tell yourself how lucky you are to be alive.

I begin each day with a clear intentionMay my intention create the best resultsMay others benefit from my intentions

You see, when we’re present, and fully focused on the moment we are in, that’s when we can zero in on our intention in such a way that it’s laser sharp. There’s no telling what amazing things we are capable of creating when our focus and awareness are that clear.
