Using I Am Statements

Every night after I read my book, I read my Core Values and I Am Statements.

My core values are my lens that filter decisions and actions through.

• Responsibility
• Effort
• Aspirations
• Persistence

My I Am Statements are the embodiment of those core values.

• I am a hard worker to provide for myself and my family
• I am someone who says what they are going to do so people can depend on me
• I am the best version of myself each day and plan to be 1% better

• I am an effective communicator to work through problems in work and life
• I am a leader so that I can take on new challenges and work with others to achieve common goals
• I am committed to make the world a better place than I found it

• I am an avid reader so my kids will know the power of learning.
• I am always active to show my kids a healthy life style
• I am a joyful person so my wife and my kids can live in a fun environment

My I Am Statements are not 100% where I am right now. They are the driving factor on where I am going.

By reading these at night I can look at my day and see where I falter or succeeded.

When I started these almost 6 months ago, I wasn’t nearly where I wanted to be in them. I knew these statements would be a stretch. I am making daily strides to get there.

I suggest creating Core Values and ‘I Am’ Statements to help guide you on your journey. As I mentioned in my last post, Effort requires zero talent. Make these little improvements and put in a little effort, and you can become great. You may not be a household name, but you can still find happiness and success in your life.

You’ll find what you are seeking. Your mission, purpose, and path will be clear.
