If you are like me, you know the incredible value of personal development. Even with the best of intentions, it’s easy for any of us to get caught up in a to-do list and overlook what is really at the core of well-being. Days seem to fly by almost on auto-pilot. While I do fall short every so often, I also recognize and appreciate the importance of self-empowerment and its role in improving the quality of life. I was first introduced to the pledge years ago and continue to embrace the basic concepts. The Self-Empowerment Pledge with its seven simple promises will have a positive impact IF one is committed to follow the guidelines. Shall we take the pledge ‘together’ and experience what follows?
The Self Empowerment Pledge
Seven Simple Promises That Will Change Your Life.
Responsibility: I will take complete responsibility for my health, my happiness, my success and my life. I will not blame others for my problems or predicaments.
Accountability: I will not allow low self-esteem, self-limiting beliefs or the negativity of others to prevent me from achieving my authentic goals and from becoming the person I am meant to be.
Determination: I will do the things I’m afraid to do which I know should be done. Sometimes this will mean asking for help to do that which I can’t do by myself.
Contribution: I will earn the help I need in advance by helping others now and repay the help I receive by serving others later.
Resilience: I will face rejection and failure with courage, awareness and perseverance. I will make these experiences the platform for future acceptance and success.
Perspective: I will maintain belief, that though I might not understand why adversity happens, by my conscious choice I can find strength, compassion and grace through my trials.
Faith: No matter what, I will never give up, give in or quit that which I believe I was intended to do. I maintain trust in a higher source that remains my co-pilot throughout my journey.
