“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 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!
