“I’m getting better every day in every way.” ~ Joel Osteen

Good Morning!

I have heard variations of this quote in different affirmation workbooks, and it truly is a powerful one to recite regularly.

Often, we tend to want to do so much, in so little time, we push and push and push and then get frustrated with what we perceive to be shortcomings and imperfections.  These imperfections can quickly consume our focus if we let them.  Of course, when we focus on our imperfections, we magnify them and give them more power than they need to have.

None of us will ever be “perfect.” But we can actively be “living the challenge” through daily improvement.  Some days those improvements may be large, and sometimes they may be as simple as sharing an extra smile or word of encouragement with someone.

Your Turn:  Remember when we give up on judging ourselves, we have more to give to others.  When we focus on our imperfections, we sap our own energy and have less to give to ourselves and to those whom we care for.  Today, when you find yourself pushing yourself backward instead of forward, recite the quote, “I am getting better every day in every way.”

Today’s Affirmation:  I am getting better every day in every way.
