AFFIRMATION FOR TODAY


Ralph Waldo Emerson has accurately said, "One of the illusions of
life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the
year."

Today is an important day. That problem you solve, that decision
you make, that time you enjoy can shape your whole life. The way
you and I approach today, and each day, is crucial. Our lives are
built by a series of days like today.

I discovered an affirmation that can help in living each day
fully:

Today I will live through the next 24 hours and not
try to tackle all of life's problems at once.

Today I will improve myself , body, mind and spirit.

Today I will refuse to spend time worrying about
what might happen if...

Today I will not imagine what I would do if things
were different. They are not different. I will do my
best with what material I have.

Today I will find the grace to let go of resentments
of others and self-condemnation over past mistakes.

Today I will not try to change, or improve, anybody
but me.

Today I will act toward others as though this will be
my last day on earth.

Today I will be unafraid. I will enjoy what is
beautiful, and I will believe that as I give to the
world, the world will give to me.

Whether these are the best of times or the worst of times, these
are the only times we've got. Live each day fully and you will
look back on a life that made a difference.
