May this be the day when it all comes together:
*Happiness in your heart
*Serenity in your soul
*Success in all the things you do
*Time enough to reach for your dreams
*Patience to see you through
*Inner beauty
* An open mind
* Days that you find you're feeling wonderful
* Confidence, strong and lasting
* Strength to do what needs to be done
* Believing in tomorrow
*Living in today
* Knowing the right way is the only way
*Clearing out the confusion
* Facing the facts
* Not being afraid
* Never giving up
* Finding hope in hard-to-find places
*Putting smiles on other people's faces
* Knowing when to talk
* And knowing when to listen
* Standing by the truth
* Being firm in your commitments
* Using your insight to set you right
* Going from rock bottom to mountain top
*Learning from mistakes
* Understanding the greatness within
* Looking for the good that is always there
* Sharing the things that need to be shared
* Remembering that it can all be a puzzle
*But solving problems is one of the sweet joys of life
* You can always pick up the pieces
* And you can always make things right.


When you trust your assertiveness, you have the 
Ability to express yourself and the ability to 
Communicate your feelings,  wants and needs.  You are
Less dependent on others and more in control of your 
Own life.
 
When you assert yourself, you make your own
Choices.  You make room for your confidence to
Explode.  Practice confident assertion by saying,
"Yes" to the things you want to do and, "No" to the 
Things you don't.
 
Don't be afraid or feel guilty for asserting yourself.
You have nothing to lose.  You will only become
Stronger and more self sufficient, and in turn your 
Self respect and self worth will shine!


Get your bearings
Most of the things that annoy you and frustrate you are not really that important. Step back, get your bearings, and look at the big picture.
Much of what you think you need, you don’t really even want. Imagine being free of all that unnecessary needing.
In every moment, in any situation, you can feel deep and genuine love. You can find spectacular beauty in the smallest, simplest things.
You can experience the joy of being. You can think and act and express your unique vision in countless ways, no matter what the circumstance.
No matter how painful or difficult the moment may be, there is always much to truly treasure. Remember to remember that, and turn your focus toward the treasure, toward the beauty, toward the joy of simply being.
Allow that joy, and notice how much stronger it makes you feel. Whatever else is going on, now is a beautiful time to be alive.
