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 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,

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.

Just a thought, but as I often think of you

and realize how much God

loves you, sometimes I think we need to also love ourselves through His eyes.

God Bless .
