Personal Branding Pledge for 2012

  • 0 min read

This year is about discovery, and complete recovery from what kills my drive

I allow impatience to test relationships to learn who’s stealing my time

I accurately judge who’s robbing me of what’s mine

I jettison people who are boring or ignoring me or angry that I am soaring

People who cast doubt, or those who need to learn what friendship is about

And suddenly I find space and suddenly I am free

This year I find the person whom I most wanted to be

I find me!

And with that comes a flurry of folks who know what life is about

I allow them to teach me, reach me, nourish me and treat me

I drop the baggage, the lead weight, old memories of what I wasn’t

I heal from the large wounds of life, the paper cuts and concussions

I find freedom and joy in uncovering my soul

I master the meaning of life and love what I come to know

I find happiness and optimism in the real person I am

Effortlessly eager, enthusiastic and encouraged by my passions

I see my destiny, I see success and I see that I am the plan

Trending around the web:

And for the first time I understand

I want nothing more and nothing less than the best for myself

And I want to share, I want to care, to be grateful and of service

I can do that this year because I am filled with my true purpose

I’m in my prime, I feel fine and I am who I define myself to be

This is my year; this is the best time in the world to be me

TRENDING AROUND THE WEB

Picture next week and notice which way it runs, left to right, or toward you, or away, because whichever answer you just got, there are people who grew up finding a completely different one every bit as obvious as yours

There are things about a life that are worth keeping to yourself even with people you trust completely, not because there is anything shameful in them, but because privacy is one of the few forms of ownership nobody can take from you once you have given it away.

After a poor night of sleep, people tended to report more conflict with their partner the next day, and in the lab it was not only the tired one who misread the other

Researchers on self-regulated learning have found that effective learners do for themselves much of the checking a teacher might otherwise supply — setting goals, monitoring what’s working, and changing strategy when it isn’t — and that habit can make them better at adapting when they run into a problem they haven’t seen before.

Saying “thank you” on reflex and actually feeling grateful aren’t the same event, and decades of gratitude research suggest that the benefits come less from simply saying the words than from genuinely noticing and appreciating something good, which means the automatic version and the deliberate version may be doing two different jobs.
