Today I Will Make A Difference

Read the following and just imagine if everyone did the following activities! It would make such a huge difference for so many people. Just something to think about!


Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are
happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I
will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and
traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip.
Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I
will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I
will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant.
I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes,
today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving
and giving. Today I will make a difference.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press
on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble...I will get
up. It's OK to fail...I will rise again. Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships.
Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in
my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or
listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.

Today I will make a difference.
