Beginning
today I will no longer worry
about yesterday. It is in the past and the past
will never change. Only I can change by choosing
to do so.
Beginning today I will no
longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
waiting for me to make the
most of it. But I cannot make the most of
tomorrow without first making the most of today.
Beginning today I will look in
the mirror and I will see a
person worthy of my respect
and admiration. This capable person looking
back at me is someone I enjoy
spending time with and someone
I would like to get to know
better.
Beginning today I will cherish
each moment of my life. I value this gift bestowed
upon me in this world and I
will unselfishly share this
gift with others. I will use this gift to
enhance the lives of others.
Beginning today I will take a
moment to step off the beaten
path and to revel in the
mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges
with
courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my
quest for growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today I will take
life one day at a time, one
step at a time. Discouragement will not be
allowed to taint my positive
self-image, my desire to succeed or my
capacity to love.
Beginning today I walk with
renewed faith in human
kindness.
Regardless of what has gone
before, I believe there is
hope for
a brighter and better future.
Beginning today I will open my
mind and my heart. I will welcome new
experiences. I will meet new
people. I will not expect perfection
from myself nor anyone else:
perfection does not exist in
an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt
to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today I am
responsible for my own
happiness and I will do things
that make me happy . . . admire the beautiful wonders
of nature, listen to my
favorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak
in a bubble bath . . . pleasure can be found in
the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today I will learn
something new; I will try
something different; I will
savor all the various flavors
life has to offer. I will change what I can and
the rest I will let go. I will strive to become the
best me I can possibly be.
Beginning
today. And every day.
