the act of affirming or the state of being affirmed.

My Daily Affirmation

The Lord has equipped me to live righteously in every circumstance.
As the patriarch of my family, I will lead from the front.
I will do the hard things that make me the best version of myself.
I will refuse passivity and confront the things that need correction.
I will be faithful to my Savior, my wife, and my children until the very end.
I will be legacy-minded and kingdom-focused in all I do.
Each day is a gift—I choose to live on purpose.

When I don’t feel like getting out of bed at 5:30 am — “I will do the hard things that make me the best version of myself.”
When I don’t want to have a tough conversation — “I will refuse passivity and confront the things that need correction.”
The list goes on and on.
