Personal Branding Pledge for 2011

This is my year.

This is the time when I re-launch my life.

I blast away to my dreams and my visions.

I leave behind ties that bind me for no reason.

This is the season of my greatest leap forward, into my zone.

I decide who I am and how I want to be known.

I own my place on this planet, and whatever is beyond it.

My trajectory goes exactly how I want it.

This is the journey of my lifetime with no concessions, just blessings.

I defy anyone who tries to quell me, or compel me into squandering my time.

I defy gravity.

I defy the odds.

I do what I have never done before. I will soar. I will be more.

This year I am the greatest iteration of who I can be.

Because this is my time, this is all about me.

I don’t care what I was; only what I can be.

I have the strength; I have the will. I am ready for the fight.

I know how to accomplish things that seem larger than life.

It’s done in small bites, so it’s easy for me.

I am voracious; I am courageous; I am prepared to be outrageous.

I know where I am going and how to exit the past.

This is my year; this is my life.

Now I get what I want and I get it real fast.

We tend to think grief needs an explanation to heal, but bereavement researchers found the opposite — people who rushed to make meaning of a loss often recovered more slowly than those who let the pain remain unresolved

The people who help us become who we want to be often aren’t just the ones who love us exactly as we are, but the ones who treat us, day after day, as the person we’re quietly trying to become — until one afternoon we catch ourselves already doing the thing we thought we’d never manage

The advice to let the anger out goes back more than a century — but when researchers gave angry people a punching bag, the ones told to picture the person who had enraged them walked away angrier than the people who just sat quietly for two minutes, doing nothing at all

Psychology helps explain why adults who feel lonely in a full room aren’t ungrateful, they may be surrounded by people who know their name but not a single thing that actually matters to them
