Action Self-Affirmation
“Today, I have the opportunity to change everything. My whole live hinges on today’s actions. If I do not act today, if I do not grab control of my fate today, my life will take a completely different trajectory.
One path leads to greatness, and the other path leads to a life where I will look back on today as the day where I could have spoken up, today as the day where I could have reached out. I will look back realizing that today was the one chance I had to change everything.
I will not let this moment pass me by. I will act decisively, today.”
