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.
