If you're listening to this,
If you're tuned in,
It means you've been gifted another glorious day.
A fresh start,
A new chapter,
A blank canvas to paint your masterpiece.
So let's make it count.
Before we dive into setting our intentions,
Let's talk intentions and why they matter so much.
Have you ever noticed that your life often reflects what you put into it,
Just like a mirror?
Ever noticed how when you're anxious or fearful,
It's like the universe serves you up more situations that heighten that anxiety?
It's as if your fear sends out an invite saying,
Hey,
Bring on the challenges,
I'm already on edge.
Let's talk about anger.
You wake up on the wrong side of the bed and suddenly everything seems to go against you.
The coffee spills,
The traffic's a mess.
It's like your anger magnetizes more reasons to stay mad.
Your intentions are like that first stroke of paintbrush on a blank canvas or the opening line of a new chapter.
They guide the story of your day,
Your week,
Your life.
It does not matter what happened until this last second,
Whether the fear or anger was justified or not.
You have a new chance every day to change your course.
You can't wait for things to change to feel better.
You have to feel better for things to change.
Remember that.
So let's set our intentions now.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Take a deep breath and ask yourself,
What do I want my day to look like?
What's my purpose today?
What will bring me closer to my dreams?
The reflections might not always be instant and that's okay.
Sometimes that mirror is clouded by past actions and experiences and it takes time for it to switch to the new.
But it is surprisingly fast.
The incredible thing is every new day gives us a chance to wipe it clean and start anew.
Your intentions set the tone for your thoughts,
Your feelings,
Your actions.
They're like the rudder of a ship steering you through the vast ocean of possibilities.
If you're putting positivity,
Kindness and love into the world,
That's what you'll get back.
Maybe not instantly,
Maybe not today,
But it'll come back to you.
The mirror might be smudged from your years of different reflections,
But it can be clean,
Trust me.
Have faith in yourself.
Believe that you can change your reflection in the mirror of life.
Believe that your intentions can steer your ship into brighter waters.
Faith isn't just about believing in a higher power,
It's also about believing in your own power.
Your power to change,
To grow,
To manifest the life you've always dreamed of.
So here is your morning mantra.
My intentions guide me,
My experiences teach me and my faith uplifts me.
Repeat that to yourself as you step into this brand new day.
My intentions guide me,
My experiences teach me and my faith uplifts me.
Remember,
It's a new day to reset,
Reflect and renew.
The world is ready to mirror your greatness.
Are you ready?
If you judge yourself based on what others think of you,
Then your idea of you will fluctuate every day.
You are at the mercy of what others think of you to feel better.
But if you ask the most important person,
You,
Then you already know that you're amazing.
Turn today into a masterpiece and guess what?
Tomorrow we'll be back,
Brushes in hand,
Ready for the next one.
