Affirmation in text form:
My courage is stronger than my fear.
I act assertively and decisively because my courage easily overpowers my fear.
I sometimes feel fear, but I refuse to allow it to control me. I permit my intellect to take control and override my fear. I understand that it is common to experience fear on occasion. I dominate my fear and take the appropriate action.
My courage increases each day. A little at a time, I am becoming better able to deal with fear. I take pride in how brave I have become. I am growing into a stronger person.
Fear takes a back seat in my life. I move toward the things I desire. I take a step backward when fear controls me. This is unacceptable to me.
I make tough decisions with a clear mind. I choose the best option, regardless of any discomfort I might be feeling. I know the feeling will leave quickly if I act boldly. I make decisions wisely.
I realize that fear is often irrational. I choose to ignore fear and rely on my rational mind. I view the world from an untainted perspective. I weigh the pros and cons and move through life intelligently. Fear is becoming a distant memory.
Today, I am rejecting fear from my mind. I am bigger than any challenge I may face. My courage is stronger than my fear. I am more courageous today than I was yesterday.

- What are the biggest fears in my life?

Guided Meditation for Goal Setting & Achievement "I can achieve my wildest dreams"
I can achieve my wildest dreams.
My accomplishments are a direct product of my effort. I know it may require hard work to
achieve something worthwhile, but I see this fact as a great opportunity to achieve my wildest
dreams! All I need is some hard work? I can do that!
I create my own luck because I am the driving force behind my success. If I want something,
I create a strategic plan to attain my objective and implement it until I have reached my
destination.
I firmly believe that I am in control of my destiny. I refuse to settle for any situation simply
because it is the hand that I have been dealt. When life gives me lemons, I throw them back! If a
door in my path is locked, I break it down and continue on my rightful journey.
I am aware that my dreams may take some time to achieve. I chip away at my goals one
small piece at a time in order to ensure success.
I am my biggest competition. Each time I set out on a new road, I strive to beat my own
record. I avoid comparing myself to others, because there simply is no comparison.
I am the person I want to be: strong, determined, and with my eyes set on an end-result that I
can ultimately attain.
Today, I believe in myself. With determination, hard work, and preparation, I can achieve my
wildest dreams.
Self-Reflection Questions:
