This is a wonderful list! A friend of mine does this and calls it her "I Am" list. She uses I AM because it is the creative energy of the Universe. I agree with Jonathan that putting it in first person present tense sends unconscious messages to the truest part of us. I appreciate your phrase about Love, to allow that to be the focus. I have a similar one, "May I always be kind. May I make the kind choice."

Not sure how I got here. Kept following thread upon thread but glad I did. Oh, yes, it was probably the reference to enlightenment in your header. Anything Zen or Buddhist-leaning I am drawn to. Blessings to you!

Hi Jonathan,

Very inspiring! And I'm curious if putting the affirmation in the present tense instead of the future tense has any advantage.
so
"I will seize the day…" becomes "I seize the day…"

What do you think?

Thanks for getting this going!!!

Very inspiring; thanks for sharing via Stumble! I appreciate the simplicity of the statement “I will” – those two words are very powerful together, and you are of sound heart and mind to use that power to enrich your life and the lives of others.

“I will never quit, never give up, and never surrender…”
I just love that phrase! A very inspiring list to be sure. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.

Hi Jonathan. “I will reach for the grandiose” really grabbed me. What a wonderful celebration and acknowledgment of the gift our lives are. It’s bold statement, and you boldly share this expansive creed. Thank you for the inspiration.
