When you got up this morning, brushed your teeth, washed your face, and looked in the mirror, who did you see? What were your thoughts about the person staring back at you? For the moment, leave out any and all references to your physical features and appearance.
Instead, focus only on those inner qualities that make you who you are. Consider the following qualities to start, and add a few of your own:
| Optimistic | Dependable | Cooperative |
| Honest | Respectful | Creative |
| Integrity | Open-Minded | Courageous |
| Hard-Working | Caring | Brave |
| Loyal | Service-Minded | Bold |
| Friendly | Helpful | Affectionate |
| Trustworthy | Generous | Loving |
| Responsible | Productive | Kind |
EXERCISE:
How will you, today and in the future, become even more of the kind of person you want in your life? Consider sharing your intentions with selective people—those you respect and admire for their wonderful qualities—to help hold you accountable for being the best version of yourself possible.
