Affirmation: There Are Lessons To Be Learned In Each Circumstance

The experiences in life are as varied and numerous as the stars in the sky. Each situation intrigues me because it provides a lesson to be learned.

Thrilling experiences teach me how to be calm in the midst of excitement. It is easy to be distracted when I get caught up in the wonder of a moment. I focus on the source of my blessings whenever I find myself getting overly sidetracked.

Positive situations teach me the value of living a moral and honest life. When I avoid corruption, I experience wonderful rewards.

My work environment tests my reserve but I remain committed to what I believe is respectable and decent. I reject proposals that oppose my values and principles. I am unimpressed by material gain as a result of wrongdoing.

When I am doubtful about my potential, I stop to question why I feel that way. Taking the time to analyze it brings me to a point of self-belief. These experiences remind me to always keep my head held high.

Today, I appreciate each situation that life throws my way. Very rarely do I take things for face value only. I am focused on digging deep into the meaning of my experiences so I am able to learn many lessons from them.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What techniques do I use to calm my nerves and regain self-confidence?
2. How impactful are discussions with my support group when I feel a little lost?
3. How often do I use the lessons learned in life to guide my steps with future situations?
