Your Daily Affirmation from the Bench - Day 1

Fear is a tremendous emotion. It can lead to avoidance or paralysis. It has the power to shape decisions and relationships in a detrimental way. While fear can protect us, it can also be overwhelming or debilitating. Its intensity and influence make it one of the most primal and dominating emotions we can experience.

Now determination is something else!

Determination is like a river cutting through a mountain. No matter how many obstacles or how solid the rock appears, the river keeps flowing, slowly and steadily carving its path. Over time, its persistence shapes the landscape, finding ways around or through even the toughest barriers. Similarly, determination allows us to keep pushing forward toward a goal, overcoming challenges and setbacks through consistent effort and unwavering focus.

The affirmation today is that you make 'DETERMINATION' your primal emotion. Focus on your determination to succeed and not be fearful of change or uncertainties. Like the river you will carve your path and shape your future landscape - find your way around your challenges. You are stronger than you think!
