Make it your intent to:

1. Be on time for everything. You show respect for others and they will trust you. Those who respect others do not cheat, deceive or steal and are trusted.
   
   
2. Be clean. Consistently groom your body, organize your space and donate to others. Nurture your body and your relationships and you will be confident.
   
   
3. Say only supportive things to yourself. Convert negative thoughts to think positively about yourself and others. You will be loyal.
   
   
4. Keep your conscience clean. Talk to someone you trust. To confess is to heal. Have courage to do the right thing and you will build a good reputation.
   
   
5. Take responsibility for your actions and choices--forgive yourself and others. Forgive and forget the incident and you will be tranquil.
   
   
6. Put your desires in writing. You must know what you want to have it. Clarity makes one powerful.
   
   
7. Be aware and appreciate the good in your life daily. This keeps you in the present and you will be gracious.
   
   
8. Share your knowledge with those who wish to know. Contribute and participate and you will be joyful.
   
   
9. Do what you love to do and do it where you want to be. You will be happy.
   
   
10. Do what you say you will do, when you say you will do it, whether you feel like it or not. Keep your word and you will be reliable.
    
    
11. Tell your truth in the moment. Don't wait for the "right" time. You will be accountable for your choices.
    
    
12. Be calm and alone for at least 24 minutes daily (one minute for every hour of the day). Pray, meditate or experience nature and you will be peaceful.
    

*Self-Esteem, as defined by the National Association for Self-Esteem, is the experience of being capable of meeting life's challenges and being worthy of happiness.
