I
love
those
little
calendars
you
put
on
your
desk
that
have
daily
affirmations.
In
my
last
piece,
I
discussed
my
chatbot
for
young
lawyers
called
Ask
Frank
on
ChatGPT.
Here
is
the
link.
I
asked
for
daily
affirmations
based
on
my
writings.
It
did
just
that.
Enjoy.
And
may
your
worst
day
in
2026
be
better
than
your
best
day
of
2025.
