Notice your breathing.
Long,
Slow,
Deep breaths in.
Holding them for a moment.
And then slowly exhaling.
Just allowing any tension to melt away as you gradually relax more and more.
Cherishing this time to relax.
Feel yourself opening to a state of deep relaxation and peace.
Observing your breathing,
Make no effort to change it in any way.
Feel yourself now reaching an ever more peaceful state where your mind,
Body,
And heart are opening.
Sense this feeling of spaciousness opening up within you.
Draw your full attention to the gentle movement of your breathing.
Notice your breathing and slowly,
Gently turn your awareness to here and now.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
I will love the sun for it warms my bones.
Yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.
I will love the light for it shows me the way.
Yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.
I will welcome happiness for it expands my heart.
Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.
I will acknowledge rewards for they are my do.
Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
I will love the young for the promise and innocence they hold.
I will love the old for the wisdom they hold.
I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness.
I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
And how will I confront each whom I meet?
In only one way,
In silence and to myself I will say,
I love you.
Though spoken in silence,
These words will shine in my eyes,
Unwrinkle my brow,
Bring a smile to my lips,
And echo in my voice,
And their heart will be open.
I love you.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
And most of all,
I will love myself.
For when I do,
I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body,
My mind,
My soul,
And my heart.
Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh.
Rather,
I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation.
Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair.
Rather,
I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages.
Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied.
Rather,
I will feed it with meditation and reflection.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
From this moment,
I take the first step required to becoming a beautiful soul.
I will greet this day with love,
And I will succeed.
I draw a deep breath in and feel this resonate within me,
That I will greet this day with love,
And I will succeed.
I will persist until I succeed.
I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops theirs by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.
I will persist until I succeed.
Never will I allow any day to end with a failure without understanding why,
Knowing failure is often a pathway to success.
I will persist until I succeed.
I will persist.
I will win.
I draw a deep breath in and feel this resonate within me.
I will persist.
I will win.
I am nature's greatest miracle.
I am nature's greatest miracle.
Since the beginning of time,
There has never been another with my mind,
My heart.
None that came before,
None that live today,
And none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me.
All people are my brothers and sisters,
Yet I am different from each.
I am a unique creature.
I am nature's greatest miracle.
I will begin now to accent my differences.
I am a unique creature of nature.
I am rare,
And there is value in all rarity.
Therefore,
I am valuable.
I have unlimited potential.
I am not on this earth by chance.
I am here for a purpose,
And that purpose is to grow into a mountain,
Not to shrink to a grain of sand.
Henceforth,
Will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all.
I will increase my knowledge of the ages and myself.
I will seek constantly to improve my manners and graces.
I draw a deep breath in and feel this resonate within me.
I am nature's greatest miracle.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
And what shall I do with this last precious day?
First,
I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand.
I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes,
Yesterday's defeats,
Yesterday's aches of the heart,
For why should I throw good after bad?
Yesterday is buried forever,
And I will think of it no more.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
Neither will I think of tomorrow.
Why should I throw now after maybe?
Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's?
Should I concern myself over events which I may never witness?
Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday,
And I will think of it no more.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
I am indeed a fortunate person,
And today's hours are but a bonus,
Undeserved.
Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others,
Far better than I,
Have departed?
Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved?
Is this another opportunity to become the person I know I can be?
Is this my day to excel?
I will live this day as if it is my last.
I will avoid with fury the killers of time.
Procrastination I will destroy with action,
Fear I will outweigh with confidence.
I am a person of love,
And today is my chance to prove my love and my greatness.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
The duties of today I shall fulfill today.
Today I shall love my family and friends while they are here.
Tomorrow they will be gone,
And so will I.
Today I shall lift up a person in need.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
And if it is my last,
It will be my greatest monument.
This day I will make the best day of my life.
This day I will drink every minute to its full.
I will savor its taste and give thanks.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
And if it is not,
I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.
I draw a deep breath in and feel this resonate within me.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
I will be master of my emotions.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
The tides advance,
The tides recede.
Winter goes and summer comes.
Summer wanes and the cold increases.
The sun rises,
The sun sets.
The moon is full,
The moon is black.
Flowers bloom,
Flowers fade.
Seeds are sown,
Harvests are reaped.
All nature is a circle of moods,
And I am a part of nature.
And so,
Like the tides,
My moods will rise,
My moods will fall.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
Inside me is a wheel,
Constantly turning from sadness to joy,
From exaltation to depression,
From happiness to melancholy.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish,
But I make my own weather.
I transport it with me.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
I will also understand and recognize the moods of others.
No longer will I judge a person on one meeting.
This is where my manners and graces will serve me,
And demonstrate that today I am master of my emotions.
Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all people,
And in me.
From this moment I am prepared to master whatever awakes in me each day.
I will master my moods through positive action,
And when I master my moods,
I will control my destiny.
Today I control my destiny to discover,
Live by,
And share important ideas that result in love,
Meaning,
And fulfillment.
Where my mission is to continuously explore,
Learn,
Understand,
Imagine,
Create,
And communicate ways of interpreting the world,
I will become master of emotions,
And feel them for my benefit to grow and control my destiny.
I draw a deep breath in,
And let this resonate within me.
I will become master of my emotions.
I will laugh at the world.
Life is absurd,
And explains some of our grandest failures and successes.
I will not seek to correct this,
But understand that life is for me to determine its meaning,
Knowing that the absurdity it holds is for all of us.
I will laugh at the world.
Hands forth,
I will cultivate the habit of laughter.
I will laugh,
And my life will be lengthened,
For this is a great secret of long life,
And now it is mine.
I will laugh at the world.
And most of all,
I will laugh at myself,
For humans are most comical when they take themselves too seriously.
Life is absurd.
I will not seek to correct this,
Rather I will embrace it and laugh easily and quickly.
Never will I fall into this trap that life is fair,
Rational,
And normal by any measure or standard.
For though I am nature's greatest miracle,
Am I not still a mere grain tossed about by the winds of time?
Do I truly know whence I came or whither I am bound?
Will my concern for this day not seem foolish ten,
Twenty,
Thirty years from now?
I will laugh at the world.
And how can I laugh when confronted with person or deed which offends me so as to bring forth real tears or anger?
Four words will appear in my mind whatever good humour threatens to depart from me.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
I will laugh at the world.
I will enjoy today's happiness today.
I will laugh at the world,
And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size.
I will laugh at my failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams.
I will laugh at my successes and they will shrink to their true value.
Each day will be triumphant,
Only when my smile brings forth smiles from others.
I will laugh at the world.
In this manner I will always remain as a child,
For only as a child am I given the ability to look up to others.
I will laugh at the world.
And so long as I can laugh,
Never will I be poor.
This then is one of nature's greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.
Only with laughter and happiness can I truly become a success.
To enjoy success I must have happiness,
And laughter will be the means to achieve this.
Drawing in a deep breath and feel this resume within me,
I will laugh,
I will smile at the world.
I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
I am likened to a grain of wheat with one difference.
The wheat cannot choose whether it be fed to swine,
Ground for bread,
Or planted to multiply.
I have a choice and I will not let my life be fed to swine and despair or to be broken open and devoured by the will of others.
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
And how will I accomplish this?
First I will set goals for the day,
The week,
The month,
The year,
And my life.
Just as rain must fall before the wheat will crack its shield and sprout,
So must I have objectives before my life will crystallize.
In setting my goals I will consider my best performance of the past and multiply it a hundredfold.
This will be the standard by which I will live in the future.
Never will I be of concern that my goals are too high.
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
The height of my goals will not hold me in awe though.
I may stumble often before they are reached.
If I do stumble I will rise and my fails will not concern me for all people must stumble.
Only a worm is free from the worry of stumbling.
I am not a worm.
I am not a sheep.
Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
And just as the sun must warm the earth to bring forth the seeding of the wheat,
So too will meditating warm my life knowing I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
Today I begin a new life.
Today I shed my old skin which hath too long suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity.
Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.
Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard.
For these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me generation upon generation.
Today I will savour the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.
I will act now.
My dreams are worthless,
My plans are dust,
My goals are wasted.
All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
I will act now.
Never has there been a map,
However carefully executed to detail and scale,
Which carried its owner over even one inch of ground.
Never has there been a parchment of law,
However fair,
Which prevented one crime.
I will act now.
I will act now.
I will not avoid the tasks of today and charge them to tomorrow,
For I know that tomorrow never comes.
Let me act now even though my actions may not bring happiness or success,
For it is better to act and fail than not to act and flounder.
I will act now.
I will act now.
I will act now.
Henceforth I will repeat these words again and again and again,
Each hour,
Every day,
Until the words become as much a habit as my breathing and the actions which follow will become as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids.
With these words I can condition my mind to perform every act necessary for my success.
With these words I can condition my mind to meet every challenge.
I will act now.
I will repeat these words as often as it takes,
Again and again.
I will act now,
For now is all I have.
This is the time.
This is the place.
I am the person to do this.
And so it is these principles that I have chosen to guide me.
That I will greet this day with love in my heart.
That I will persist until I succeed.
That I am nature's greatest miracle.
That I will live this day as if it is my last.
That I will be master of my emotions.
That I will laugh at the world.
That I will multiply my value a hundred fold.
That I will act now.
I draw a deep breath in and feel this resonate within me.
And as I choose to either open my eyes and feel refreshed and anew.
Or continue in a meditative state.
I remind myself that I will both ask and listen for guidance.
I let go of old negative beliefs that have stood in the way of my success.
I have released all limiting beliefs about my ability to succeed.
My mind is free of resistance and open to exciting new possibilities.
I am grateful for all my skills and talents that serve me so well.
When I need help I effortlessly attract the perfect resources and solutions.
I celebrate each goal I accomplish with joy and gratitude.
I am grateful for all the abundance flowing into my life.
Every day is filled with new ideas that inspire and motivate me.
I love who I am and I naturally attract people who respect me as a unique individual.
I am creating a life of abundance,
Joy,
Meaning and happiness.
I am successfully living up to my full potential.
I am making the world a better place by being a positive,
Powerful influence.
I am grateful for my financial success.
I am living the dream and so it is.
