Don’t turn down an opportunity simply because it makes you nervous — you can do much more than you think. Make room for a larger definition of yourself.

Try this meditation for one minute every day, or longer if you want to:

I BELIEVE in my innate ability to meet the challenges that arise before me.

This meditation was adapted from A Mindful Day: 365 Ways to Live Life With Peace, Clarity, and an Open Heart, by David Dillard-Wright. How did it go for you? Share your thoughts and feelings in Shorelines and you’ll be entered to win a copy of the book!
