Very helpful.
Eyes drooping, you stagger as you walk due to the pervading drowsiness and exhaustion. You want to lie down and all you can think about is sleeping, but then your rumbling stomach is preventing you from doing so. The thought of preparing or buying food is making you even more tired. What do you do?
Some days feel longer than others. That’s life.
In the beginning, just for the kick of it, God decided to create the universe. Then in a nice, baritone, booming voice that echoed throughout eternal nothingness, He said, “Let there be light.” With nothing much else to do, the universe complied. And so there was light, as well as heat and electromagnetic radiation. Then came the cabbages and tunas and, of course, the humans.
Deciding that He pretty much had satisfied His creation fix, He chose a reddish nebula in which to rest. “Ahh, this is nice and warm,” He muttered as He nestled Himself among a matress of binary stars, quasars and whatnot.
Suddenly, He felt a sickening presence pop into existence.
“What in heavens are you doing, resting? Come home and clean your room!”
He heaved a galactic sigh, causing a few supernovas in doing so. “But Mother—”
“No buts. Now! If I have to drag you—” She stepped a few light years closer.
He threw His ethereal hands in a placating gesture. “Okay, okay already. No need to be so brutal, Mother.”
She started to zoom away. “Oh and clean up this silly project of yours.”
And that was the end of the universe as we knew it.

This was actually a story I wrote about two years ago. I just found it in my stash of documents.
Forget those boring, plain, unimaginative affirmations. Design your own! Make it emotional and highly appealing to you. Here’s a piece that tickles my thoughts and helps keep me going. It’s like freaking mind caffeine. May it inspire you to develop your own kickass affirmation.
What does not kill me makes me stronger.
I am faster, better, more beautiful and badass than ever before.
I am achieving my purpose in life with grace and style.
I am focused and relentless.
I will win in life and kick ass.
What do you want to do? Who do you want to be? Think about that and craft something that can keep your mind and emotions in high gear. Oh yeah!
