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

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

People who stay genuinely fit as they age may not be the ones with the best genetics or the most discipline — they may be the ones who decided movement was about staying in a life they wanted to keep living
