Personal Branding Pledge for 2010

  • 0 min read

Repeat this pledge every day. Post it on your bulletin board. See how you get what you want in 2010:

This is my year.

I’m fighting for it.

Fighting to keep the big, juicy prize in mind so it lands in my hands by the end of this year.

Fighting to see and stay on the road, high or low.

No stopping for distractions, no matter how attractive.

I have no respect for roadblocks: inadvertently or purposely cast in my path.

I’m fighting to obliterate my own inclination to please, appease or do anything less than seize the day; every day this year.

I’m exploding with energy, but conserving it, too.

I vow to plow through walls that surround me and beat anything that threatens to defeat me.

I own my ideas, my process, my results and my truth.

I own the rights. I own the turf. I own this fight, from round one.

I will make it to the big dance with a performance that’s bigger than a personal best.

I will cross the line in record time, with a valedictory lap on the track, flashing the victory sign.

This is my year.

I’m fighting for it!

People who married in their early 20s often became adults inside the marriage rather than before it, and that changes what they need, what they resent, and who they are by the time they finally know themselves

The older some people get, the smaller their circle becomes — and sometimes that isn’t withdrawal, it’s finally knowing the difference between company and comfort
