Recently, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and came across this image that a friend had posted.  It was posted with challenge to write statements about oneself.  The post reminded me of an “I AM” statement that I wrote back in 2006, during a time when I was really struggling.  A time before I was diagnosed with Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure.

So, I went searching through the archives to find the words to share again.  Some 12 years later, they are still quite relevant and applicable.  They are a much needed reminder to myself now, as I find myself struggling once again.

So, who am I?

I am a strong, confident, caring, loving, and passionate man. I have a sound mind, and a strong spirit. I am well educated; possessing the knowledge and abilities needed to make it in this world. I am strong willed; filled with a sense of determination and endurance that will carry me through all situations. I am filled with respect, not only for others, but more importantly, for myself.

When I think about what I’ve been through and how far I’ve come, I realize just how true those words really are. And sometimes, it’s good to be reminded of it.

It’s a reminder that A Little Heart Can Do Big Things.

If you were to write something similar about yourself, what would you say? I challenge you to write a comment here, and tell me and, more importantly, yourself, Who You Are.
