Beginning Today

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 firstmaking 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 pathand 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 hopefor 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.
