The Alphabet of Self-Esteem

The Alphabet of Self-Esteem: An Inspirational Journal for Successful Living is a personal empowerment tool. It speaks to the inherent worth of every human being. The human potential is unlimited - the goal of this journal is to provide words of inspiration as well as a place to write down your dreams, goals, and desires. Moreover, this journal is a place to develop an action plan for you to become all that you can be - a fully optimized human being whose energy is focused on moving our world culture towards greater levels of divinity. As fully optimized human being, we can help to foster a world that will be in alignment with God’s plan for the heavens, the earth, and all of God’s creation.

My vision for The Alphabet of Self- Esteem: An Inspirational Journal for Successful Living is that it will be a vehicle to get you from “life” to “living.” My prayer is that it will inspire you to write down your thought and dream. Writing them down is the first step toward bringing from the world of ideas into the material world.

Name it (your dream) and claim it.

Write down the vision and make it plain.

Plan your work and work you plan

Believe it, develop your plan, and achieve it

Get past life and get to living
