This is the beginning of a new day.
You have been given this day to use as you will.
You can waste it or use it for good.
What you do today is important
because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever;
in its place is something that you have left behind
...let it be something good.

The diamond cannot be polished without friction
nor man be perfected without trials

If only we wished to be happy this could be easily accomplished, but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than we are

BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART

Believe in your heart that
something wonderful is about to happen.
Love your life.

Believe in your own powers and your own
potential, and in your own innate goodness.

Wake every morning with the awe
of just being alive.
Discover each day the magnificent,
awesome beauty in the world.

Explore and embrace life in yourself
and in everyone you see each day.

Reach within to find your own specialness.

Amaze yourself and rouse those around you
to the potential of each new day.

Don't be afraid to admit that
you are less than perfect;
this is the essence of your humanity.

Let those who love you help you.

Trust enough to be able to take.

Look with hope to the horizon of today,
for today is all we truly have.

Live this day well.
Let a little sun out as well as in.
Create your own rainbows.

Be open to all your possibilities;
all possibilities and Miracles.
Always believe in Miracles.

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.

Soren G. Kiekigaard

The longer I live, the more I realise the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education,
than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes,
than what other people think, say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skills.
It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past...
we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me
and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
