You are a Badass Deck, by Jen Sincero — It’s time to get mighty clear about what makes you happy and what makes you feel the most alive, and then create it instead of pretending you can’t have it.

The cards in this deck were created from a book You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life.

Start living an awesome life

is it really that simple

I should have married a wife

with a cute dimple

Authors note: I am practicing my dodoitsu poetry

REMEMBER TO SURRENDER - When we want something so, so badly and are working tirelessly to get it, if we don't surrender, we end up pushing it away instead. There comes a point where we need to hand the job over to The Universe. This doesn't mean that we give up or discontinue taking action. This means we let go energetically, release our kung fu grip and create some space for what we want to come to us. Your faith in The Universe must be stronger than your fear of not getting what you want. Jen Sincero

kung fu grip, do not know it

do not know that when I sit

stuck and not moving I have it

it's crazy to know

~

give it to the universe

when working on this new verse

even now and don't be terse

yes, it could be worse

~

dodoitsu's do not rhyme

i am rhyming just this time

it probably won't be just

my heart says I must

~

i am a such rhyming fool

and when swimming in the pool

well, that line was just to rhyme

can I say this time

~

publishing a book real soon

well, probably not by noon

but within a year or so

it is time to go

We must focus on the positive instead of the list of negatives we've collected over time, and keep that focus regardless of what flies in our faces. Jen Sincero

addiction demands we stay

negative, so turn that frown

comments and mood upside down

love that idea

~

when i get negative i

maybe need to laugh or cry

sometimes singing will work out

or a gym workout

~

i like to call my sponsor

when some support is needed

like a happy bird i soar

with the talk I need

~

smudge first thing in morning

make a gratitude checklist

work out, exercise, walking

thank Creator/God

~

staying in the present day

is so important today

living a day at a time

time to end this rhyme
