PRECIOUS MOMENT AFFIRMATIONS #4 (LOVE)

I love myself!

I love myself unconditionally!

I always love myself!

I know that true love begins with self love!

I know that if I want to discover true love, I have to start inside with self love!

I know that self love is the foundation that true love is built on!

I know that without self love, there is no true love!

I know that love and jealousy do not exist together!

LEARNED LESSONS

learned to

take pleasure in

that which is

precious to me

learned to

not to focus

minor differences,

to let go

of past things

put the garbage out

move on

to know the joy

that freedom brings

learned to

have no power

to change

learned to

not spend

but to share

each and every

precious moment

living my life

this precious gift

of life

to the fullest

learned to

stop living my life

in the past

learned to

create loving relationships

that last

learned to

not lose tomorrow

reaching back for

yesterdays

that tomorrows

are never promised

learned to

remember that

I may only have

this precious moment

knowing that

I could be gone

not only tomorrow

or the next day,

but in this or

the next moment

learned recently,

to always

live my life

with a sense of

urgency

Alone by Maya Angelou

Alone
 
 

 

Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don’t believe I’m wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.There are some millionaires
With money they can’t use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They’ve got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely
I’ll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
‘Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Maya Angelou

PRECIOUS MOMENT AFFIRMATIONS #1

"I have chosen to define intelligence as a person’s ability to identify how everything is connected."

"Every challenge I encounter in life carries with it an equivalent, or greater reward."

"When I change the way I choose to view my life, and the way I view my life will change."

"I do not know enough to be negative all the time."

"I will not wait until it is too late, to start living a meaningful life."

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL written by Michael Masser and Linda Creedperformed by Whitney HoustonI believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to beEverybody’s searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my need
A lonely place to be and so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed at least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us of how we used to be

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow
If I fail, if I succeed at least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

And if by chance that special place that you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place, find your strength in love
