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.
