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 the gift bestowed upon me
in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with 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 Everyday.
