Today
I will not become frustrated by the world around me. No matter what happens, no
matter what difficulties arise, I will not relinquish my self-control. Today I
will not become confused, even if some events make no sense. I will not allow
discouragement to take root and blossom into defeat.
Today
I will make a difference. I will not change the world, but, by the power of
God, I will at least change myself. And, because of that change, God will be
glorified.
I
know that my thoughts control my emotions. I understand that my emotions
influence the decisions I make. I realize that my decisions determine my
actions. Therefore, I will be hopeful in the face of doubt and happy in the
face of drudgery.
I
will accept the responsibility for my actions. I will not view the momentary
distractions of the day as mountains but will recognize them as the
inconsequential anthills they truly are. I will find opportunity in adversity.
I
will remember that I have no control over yesterday. It is gone, and I cannot
change what I have done. The minutes and opportunities I have squandered are
lost forever. I will not let my failures and mistakes haunt me and condemn me.
I will remember that my dreams and plans for tomorrow are tenuous at best and
offer no security.
I
will live in the present and endeavor to treat every minute as the precious
gift it is. Today I will remember that the greatest gift I can give is love,
and I will give it freely.
Today
I will make a difference because Jesus died for me. I will keep in mind that I
am no longer a slave but a son. Today I will realize I am from God. I know I
will return to Him to give an account of my actions.
And,
as a result: Today I will make a
difference.

TODAY IS HERE - Author Unknown
Today is here. I will start
with a smile, and resolve to be agreeable. I will not criticize. I refuse to
waste my valuable time.
Today has one thing in which I
know I am equal with others—Time. All of us draw the same salary in seconds,
minutes, hours—24 Golden Hours
each day.
Today I will not waste my time,
because the minutes I wasted yesterday are as lost as a vanished thought.
Today I refuse to spend time
worrying about what might happen. I am going to spend my time making things
happen.
Today I am determined to study
to improve myself, for tomorrow I may be wanted, and I must not be found
lacking.
Today I am determined to do
things I should do. I firmly resolve to stop doing the things I should not do.
Today I begin by doing and not
wasting my time. In one week I will be miles beyond the person I am today.
Today I will not imagine what I
would do if things were different. They are not different. I will make a
success with what material I have.
Today I will stop saying,
"If I had time," for I never will "find time" for
anything—if I want time I must make it.
Today I will act toward other
people as though this might be my last day on earth. I will not wait for
tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.
