Celebrate your Victories.

I am always amazed at the number of people that define themselves by their challenges, rather than the fact that they have lived to overcome them. Every challenge that visits our lives can either be evidence of the gross injustices of existence or a reminder of the triumph of the human spirit. So, rather than identifying with the challenge, why not identify with your victory? You may not have completely conquered it yet, but you're still here. You're still in the game. How you characterize yourself matters. Your spirit will answer to what you call it and your life will rise to the level of your expectation.

Today is a great day to remember your true nature. You are the hero of your own story, but you may have failed to acknowledge the gifts that you have utilized to overcome your previous challenges.  Think back to the three greatest achievements in your life to date. What were the challenges and obstacles that you faced (that made the idea of those accomplishments seem impossible)?  How did you overcome them?  The characteristics that you used, the gifts that you applied to overcome those obstacles are still with you. In fact, those gifts have most likely been seasoned and strengthened in the time that has passed. So, whatever challenge you're facing now does not stand a chance. You've got this!

Success or sabotage?  In order for you to truly succeed, you must remember your true nature and the gifts that are at your disposal.

Is this going to be an incredible day?  Expect the day to be incredible and watch for the signs that suggest that it is true.
