Beginning Today
Author Unknown
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 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 ... I will Trust in God.
