Self-Esteem Promise Keeper
by Jewel Diamond Taylor

Each day I promise my self to GET UP with an attitude of gratitude.

I promise to WAKE UP to my opportunities and overcome laziness, disorder and procrastination.  I will BOUNCE UP from yesterday's sorrows and regrets.  I will CHEER UP and think positive.  I will SPEAK UP for myself knowing that I deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.  I will REACH UP to God for daily guidance.

I am willing to do whatever is necessary this day to grow, improve, and MEASURE UP to the demands, changes, and miracles in my life.  Much is required of me today and I will meet the challenge.  I will STEP UP to each task with enthusiasm and follow through.

Worry, anger, doubt, fear and self-criticism are a waste of my time.  Self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-determination will free me from negative influences.  I OPEN UP my mind to my potential and personal power to succeed and overcome obstacles.

I SEND UP my prayers of thanksgiving for life, health, shelter, food, clothing, transportation, loving relationships, and abundant income.  I will manage my time, money, and emotions wisely today.  I will LIVE UP to the highest and best in me.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.  I promise to seek balance in family, work, and play.  I will seek progress and completion of my personal and professional goals by remember that....

"The main thing is to keep the MAIN thing the MAIN THING!"
