An awesome post! After reading “12 Things Successful People Do Differently,” I came up with the following affirmation. It can be repeated all at once or repeated as individual lines or phrases throughout the day.
I enjoy amazing success daily!
I create and pursue SMART goals and take decisive and immediate action.
I focus on being productive and make logical, informed decisions.
I release the urge to make things perfect and, instead make small continuous improvements.
I spend time with the right people.
I keep a positive outlook as I learn from my mistakes and maintain balance in my life.
I take appropriate risks and work outside of my comfort zone.
Overall, I keep things simple and relish in my abounding successes.
Another Africa…Perspective.

Dr. Asa G Hilliard
Master Teacher, SBA, psychologist, and historian- all the things I aspire to in my life and career. He lived a purpose driven life and was so real and down to earth. I met him a few times, and never knew him personally, but his work will be with me forever. May you live forever.
Read this classic by Dr. Hilliard - SBA: Reawakening of the African Mind. This book is especially meaningful for teacher and has a message which was and continues to posthumously uplift humanity and human consciousness.
This book literally changed my life. Here’s a link to a free audiobook:
