“Today is a new day and it brings with it a new set of opportunities for me to act on.<br /> I am attentive to the opportunities and I seize them as they arise.<br /> I have full confidence in myself and my abilities.<br /> I can do all things that I commit myself to.<br /> No obstacle is too big or too difficult for me to handle because what lies inside me is greater than what lies ahead of me.<br /> I am committed to improving myself and I am getting better daily.<br /> I am not held back by regret or mistakes from the past.<br /> I am moving forward daily.<br /> Absolutely nothing is impossible for me.”<br /> ― Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability
