This is my declaration

I will use the wings I was born with and soar the open skies. No one will ever be harder on me than I am on myself. I will soar higher than I dreamed, sing louder than the chorus and dream bigger than the sleep that formed it. I will be awesome in every endeavor and will not allow the limitation of my mind to dictate the points of interest in my heart. I will dive in deep oceans of curiosity. I will not be intimidated when not knowing. I will strive for excellence not for the applause, but for the accolades in my spirit.

I will rejoice in the success of others. I will not covet my neighbor's donkey. I will create a stable of my own. I will paint beyond the canvass of my current situation. I will borrow brushes from my neighbor when I need to and return two-fold the favor they loaned toward my creativity. I will own my past, step into my present and run toward my destiny. I will never believe I am alone. I know the hand that holds my own. I will not doubt the creation of my excellence. I will humbly step into my beauty. I will build beyond my faults. I will never doubt His  plan for my life.

I will make good on bad promises.I will forgive those who trespass against me. I will seek understanding where there is none, love where it is lacking and draw on compassion when I have forgotten the grace that has been poured into me from the Almighty.

I will never forget that I belong to a master's plan, a manuscript  designed before I drew my first of many breaths. I will look around and anticipate only good poured into my life. I will be the first to forgive, the first to give and the first careful not to relive my failures.

I will ask forgiveness when I fall short of my excellence and best behavior. I will be short in temperament, short in memory when it  comes to counting the wrath of others directed toward me. I will begin my prayers with thank you and end them the same. I will forevermore remember from whence I came.

This is my declaration.
