Beginning Today

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 have 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 for the rest of my life . . .
