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 the gift bestowed
upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with 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 Everyday.
