As part of a personal development program I am taking, I want to share the following exercise I had for homework today.

Find a personal mantra for motivation and encouragement.

Personal Mantra:

“Learn to value yourself; which means: fight for your happiness.” Ayn Rand

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”  Ayn Rand

Find a song(s) that have some kind of motivation or inspiration

Theme songs:

the new year: Death Cab for Cutie

Mariah’s Theme : Mariah Carey

I And Love And You: The Avett Brothers

Home: Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros
