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 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.

    Excellent. Though we make several such declarations and desire to put them in practice, as humans with all sensitivities, sensibilities, and weaknesses, I wonder if all that we wanted on this day could be put in practice and sustain it

    WOW !!! Penny White…you have “hit the nail on the head” as it is often said. Thank you for reminding me how good we have it and to start anew without fear. It is sure exciting when you start to do something different for a change, pushing fear aside and after you do it you wonder why you feared at all. Write some more Penny, I will look forward to it. Elizabeth… Thanks…
    P.S. I am sending your “Starting Today” to my email relatives and friends…

    yes, susila. I’m pondering over the same thoughts that you have too. We as human beings often preach but rarely put what we preach into action. It’s sad, isn’t it? No matter how inspirational something is, at the end of the day if we don’t change ourselves, we’ll always go back to the where we were before. This is a great poem though. :)

    We are all Angels of God.
    Unfortunately our beliefs have been hampered throughout our lives.
    However throughout our lives we are also Fortunate to come across an Angel from time to time that can put the truth together in words that cannot only be heard and read but be Felt from the Heart of God through another,,,,
    No matter ones belief, God is here for Us One and All,,,,,,,,,,AMEN

    The things that makes life special, is having a strong relationship with God each day. That was very good ministering words you shared with Gracie, I think patient is a very important key to life, in walking with Jesus Christ. Today is a new day, and I’m so thankful for what God has done in our lives.
