TODAY’S MESSAGE TO MYSELF:
************************************
Life offers reasons or results. Achievers discover that results are the only things that matter. The enjoyment we derive from life is inversely proportional to how much we blame our circumstances. I blame no one for my circumstances or conditions. Today, I choose to be happy.

Quote of the Day:

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing
and appreciating what we do have. ”

– Friedrich Koenig.


MORNING MINDSET:
***********************
1. One thing I can get excited about today is participating in the music rehearsal for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday
celebration.

2. If one word could describe the kind of person I want to be today, then that word is “Achiever”; and why I chose it is because I am committed to achieving my dreams and goals. I will not accept reasons or excuses. I will achieve positive results.

TODAY’S TOP 3 GOALS/PRIORITIES:
*****************************************
1. Improve my character and build my integrity through my SPEED Work.
2. Learn something new.
3. Create and contribute something of value.

EVENING JOURNAL:
***********************
1. A moment I really appreciated today was speaking with Rick.
