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 .
