This work presents a self-motivating personal vision assistant that serves as a self-reflecting and motivating system for people such as those with low self-esteem, lonely or depressed individuals, single mothers, divorced or widowed, who constantly needs to be motivated to remain positive and focused. The system is similar to the rest of the personal digital assistants in the market but with the added functionality of reading the mood of the user and motivating them based on their present states of mind such as happy, sad, bored etc. The system uses facial recognition to determine the users' mood and a database of user's history or past events to adequately motivate the users. Further extensions include creating and adding imagery of beloved ones that have impacts on the lives of the users, such as missed loved ones like mothers, spouse, etc as added stimulation.
