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
for the rest of my life.
