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.

My boomer dad spent forty-three years thinking he was a good husband because he never cheated, never yelled, and always provided—and then my mom said the loneliest she’s ever felt was lying three feet away from him in bed, and he realized he confused not being bad with being good
