The Perfect Gift

You have two of the greatest gifts you could ever be given.  Do you know what they are? The first is your life, and the second is a new day.  Why is a new day gift? This is so exciting, you're gonna love it.  It's a gift because you get to use it to create the PERFECT version of yourself.  Let me say that again in case it didn't sink in the first time.  You get to create the PERFECT version of yourself.  I know you're probably saying "Zahmi what the hell are you talking about girl?" Well let me tell you.  Ok, so everyday that you wake up, Source gives you a blank canvas to work with.  The canvas is your state of mind, your overall being.  Along with that canvas you get a host of colors to choose from to paint your picture.  The colors you get to choose from are personality traits, attitudes, emotions, goals, and thoughts.  Now you use these colors to paint your portrait.

However you wish to be, you put this on your canvas.  So if you want to be fearless, kind, loving, forgiving, smart, strong, witty, clever, and sexy then you put that on your canvas.  See yourself as being those things and only those things.  Don't worry about if you actually feel it the moment you begin to paint your perfect self.  Once you see it in your mind and focus on the vision, you'll begin to feel it.  Let this perfect you sit in your mind until you are convinced that this is who you are today.  Make this your sole focus before you do anything else with your day.  It is imperative that you do this before you start your day, as this will be the you that is seen throughout it.  So really make sure that you paint a great picture and that you're loving what you see.  Now here's a special tip, one that you're going to love.

Who you were yesterday doesn't matter.  That is, unless you're happy with who you were, and in that case you can build upon that version of yourself.  However, if you're over that version of yourself, you can kick it to the curb and carry on with the new you.  So any mistakes that you made yesterday are null and void.  Any criticizing of yourself and others is in the past.  If you stressed yourself out over things, or if you were insecure, just let it all go.  You're a new you today and those old ways are thrown out the window, ran over and picked up by the garbage truck that came to get your household trash.  Oh yes, you're on to something now.  This new version of yourself is speaking to you.  Can you hear it? If you can, you're winning.  If you're not convinced yet, then add some more colors.  You see, I know that there may be a part of you that is saying "it's not that simple".  That 's the old you trying to come back in because the trash man is late.  Keep that door closed and focus on the new you that tells you "you can make it easy and real if you really want to."  See that's the you that you want and need in your head, so focus.  See it as clear as the words you're reading now.  Began to feel it as sure as you feel the breath you just took.  Become the perfect you that you've created.

Now that you've completed that task, it's time to shed some light on this you new.  Get up and get your day started.  Let the sun rise on this new version of you.  Feel it's warmth and let the world feel yours.  Don't forget one important key truth about this portrait.  It should be in the image you wish to see for yourself.  So don't use anybody else's portrait to build upon your own, and if you fail to live up to the picture you've created, you can always throw it away tomorrow or build on it to make you better.  Either way, you got this.  I believe in you, now it's your turn.
