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.
