The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.~Ernest Hemingway

Meditation Three

Confidence in the future is rooted in the present moment, within us. If we are at least willing to try to imagine all that we can be, change is already in progress.

 

A field of contentment somewhere yet unknown

lies quietly waiting for thoughts I have sown.

These lines are excerpts from a poem written when I was in an abusive relationship. The poem was a wish for the freedom to be fully myself, and an affirmation that it was, somehow, possible. I didn’t realize it then, but I was preparing for a major transformation. Less than a year later I was ready to begin building a new life for my children and me.  ~ Painter’s Notes

Affirmations are demonstrations of faith, of acting on the premise that something exists without burden of proof. It seems contradictory that in our most insecure moments we would believe that all is possible. It is, however, when we need most to reach for our highest good, to place faith in ourselves.

The power to become the truest version of yourself lies within.

Declare it.

It IS already so.

 

The seeds of my best self are already sown.

All I have dreamt of becoming, I am.
