Beginning Today

~ unknown

Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart

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.

"Keep these concepts in mind:You've failed many times, although you don't remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim...Don't worry about failure. My suggestion to each of you: Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try." Sherman Finesilver

Bumps in the Road

by Bill Mansell

Recently, I ran into an old friend at a neighborhood event. This woman has been plagued with numerous chronic health problems throughout her life, yet she continues to serve others with a positive, upbeat attitude. I noticed that she had what looked like a brace on her arm and hand, so I asked what happened.

"I've been having some seizures lately," she said, "I had one while cooking dinner and my hand pressed down on the hot burner. So, I had to have skin grafts."

I expressed my sympathy and said, "It seems like there is always something."

Then she turned to me and made this remarkable statement: "It's just a bump in the road. There are lots of bumps in the road and we have to go over the bumps in order to move forward."

What an amazing attitude! There was no complaining, no feeling sorry for herself, no asking "why me?!" Just a simple matter-of-fact philosophy of living. It reminds me of a statement by Jenkins Lloyd Jones, who said: "Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed."

Success Tip: When you experience bumps in the road of life, rather than feeling sorry for yourself, realize that everyone has bumps! The only way to move forward is to go over your bumps.
