Every day I wake up with rekindled strength and decide to make the day a great one. I arm myself with positivity and a winning mindset. When I step into the world, I start to hear the beautiful hymn of hope that follows me everywhere I go.
Even when others choose to play a soundtrack of hopelessness, I dance to my hymn of hope. My ears are prepared to listen only to the sound of hope and to disregard any other noise. I abstain from listening to negative news reports that will only try to deprive me of my capacity to hear the sound of hope.

My life is a song filled with hope. Although there is no guarantee in life, I am confident that my life choices move me on the right path. I know that I will be successful.
I sing my hymn of hope to the world so others can be lifted...

Women must make good choices for many reasons, including having a greater sense of self, increasing confidence, and learning from experiences. But, becoming a better decision-maker involves taking risks and knowing that not every decision will be the best one.

Maybe you have a weak record of decisions when trying to take care of yourself, but that does not mean it cannot change in 2020. Begin by applying both emotion and logic when you make choices.
No matter what it is you...
