Affirmation: My desire to succeed is more powerful than disappointment.

I am successful because I am driven by my dreams instead of my circumstances. Focusing on my goals helps me overcome disappointment and enables me to accomplish what I set out to do.

My ultimate goal is to utilize my abilities to make a difference in the world. I am more concerned with fulfilling my purpose in life than with pleasing everyone around me.

Criticism and disappointment are simply distractions that try to take my attention from the things that matter most. When I catch myself wallowing in self-pity, I snap out of it by reminding myself of my priorities.

When disappointment comes, instead of quitting, I envision myself crossing the finish line. I visualize myself tasting the sweetness of victory that awaits me if I persevere. I tell myself over and over again why I do what I do.
