I consider myself blessed to be able to perform all of my tasks. I am grateful for the energy and resources at my disposal, which enable me to do my work well in all areas of my life.
Instead of feeling sorry for myself for having so many responsibilities, I think of myself as fortunate to have the opportunity to be active. Being needed makes me feel important.
I fulfill my responsibilities with joy because I’ve come to the place of understanding that these are actually privileges. I’ve been chosen and equipped to perform purposeful work. What I do makes a difference in the lives of others.
When I look at my responsibilities as privileges, I am able to see the value within me. I am worth more than I will ever know. There are people and places benefiting from what I do without me even knowing about it.
Every time I put my hand to work, I am shaping history. My work is valuable even when it seems tedious. No matter what I am involved in, my work is meaningful.
I erase complaints from my vocabulary. Negativity is absent from my speech because its only outcome is bitterness.
I replace negativity with a happy heart so I can enjoy my work and also perform better.
I infuse my work with joy by singing or smiling throughout my day. I decorate my workspace with photos of my loved ones’ smiling faces to remind myself of the reasons why I work.
Today, I choose to fulfill my responsibilities with a positive attitude and a grateful heart. I overflow with joy when I think about the privilege I have to touch others through my work.
