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
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.
