What you can and can’t afford is all in your mind. - Jen Sincero

Wake up in the morning and declare what it is that you’ll celebrate today. Even better, write it down. Celebrate all of it — the good, the bad, the not yet happened; the key is that you truly rejoice in the feeling of gratitude for everything.

When you came screaming onto this planet you were truly a bundle of joy, a wide-eyed creature incapable of doing anything but being in the moment. You had no idea that you had a body, let alone that you should be ashamed of it. When you looked around, everything just was. There was nothing about your world that was scary or too expensive or so last year as far as you were concerned. If something came near your mouth, you stuck it in, if it came near your hand, you grabbed it. You were simply a human . . . being.
