1. You don’t have to be rich to live like a million bucks. Enjoy the simple things. Celebrate your life. Celebrate yourself. And if something genuinely important costs money, get it into your head that you can create that money: other people have done it, and you have all the smarts, all the worth, and all the God that they did.
2. You’re right on target with the things you aspire to. You want them because they’re the next
step to get you where you’re going. You don’t have to be ashamed for what you
love or who you love. There is no list of allowable stuff. If you love it, it’s
lovable, and loving is what you came here to do.
3. You can trust yourself. You can choose what to eat, what
to wear, what to do. You are autonomous. You are okay.
4. You don’t need to be afraid of anyone. No one is in such
a position of authority that they can hurt you.
5. You are inferior to no one.
6. You don’t know how cool you are, or how much the people
who love you do indeed love you.
7. You can lighten up and let the good stuff come.
8. Having fun today is necessary, even if everything isn’t
perfect and it feels as if so much is depending on only you.
9. All you have to do regarding other people is realize that they’re divine too. You don’t have to like them or like being around them. Just remember that they are divine.
10. Dig deep to find the dreams underneath your dreams. You
want the material things that you do because they represent something deeper:
peace, or self-worth, or freedom from fear. Use your prayers and affirmations
and treasure-mapping to get those inner treasures; once in place, they draw the
material objects and situations to you.

I noticed this morning I had a tendency toward feeling down. I wasn’t there, but I was leaning in that direction. I think it is a result of this looming list of to-do’s for the day. I went to your site and it helped tremendously. I’m so baffled by how negative self-talk can be. Think how much more we could accomplish if we believed in ourselves! I immediately sent your post to a friend, changed my inner dialogue and will be sure to show this list to my daughter before she goes to school. Hopefully it will spread like a virus! Thanks for your uplifting post!

Great and uplifting list, Victoria!
I particularly like the saying that “You don’t have to like them or like being around them. Just remember that they are divine”. Remembering that each of us is divine reminds us to search for the good that exists within others – even people whom we’re finding difficult to like (or love).
Thanks.

Exactly what I needed to hear Victoria! You are such an inspiration in my life.
