Next time you pass by a lemonade stand—stop! Buy a cup of lemonade and make some yummy noises. Let the kids know how delicious it is.

“If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart.”

Invite your neighbors to dinner.

Today is about sharing the good I have inside of me with others, but most importantly I will strive to see it within myself!

“By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.”

Think before you post. Give a second glance to a Facebook status or social media post that could potentially upset others before you post it.

Today I generate positivity in the way I think, the way I act and through the words I utter. I am more powerful than I can imagine, we all are.

“Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a journey.”

Scroll through the contact list on your phone. Call or text the first person it stops at. Perhaps there’s a reason you landed on their name.

When faced with a choice, choose loyalty.

Today I am appreciative. I recognize that I only am who I am because of the people in my life who love me wholeheartedly.

Stop procrastinating! Schedule a checkup at the doctor or dentist. There will always be work, there will always be a long, never-ending to-do list, but your health comes first. Pick up the phone and make the appointment.

Today I will think about 3 things in my life I would like to improve for myself. Goals are important to set and even better to accomplish!

“The main thing is that you hear life’s music everywhere. Most people hear only its dissonances.”

Today I will finally take the time to make a decision on something I have been thinking about for a while! When I am conflicted and can’t choose, I sit down and focus so I can decide what is right for me!

“The easiest way to meet people is to just look like someone who is willing to listen.”

Make a new friend. It’s simple. Just introduce yourself to someone new. They won’t bite.

Today I will take every opportunity to meet someone new. An elevator ride, waiting in line, the list is endless! And it just starts with a simple Hello!

“The secret powers of nature are generally discovered unsolicited.”

Get back to nature! Plan a hiking trip. Use the time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with your very core.

Today I set aside time for myself to unwind and relax. With all the stresses endured daily, a little me time is a necessity not a luxury.

“You must know where you came from yesterday, know where you are today, to know where you’re going tomorrow.”

Begin putting together a family tree. What a great way to learn more about your ancestors. Be creative and possibly gift it to your grandparents or another elderly family member.

Today I am grateful for all the people who make up my life story; the good and seemingly bad. Each person plays a role in the person I am today.

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

Today I will remember that tomorrow Is another day. No matter what happens today, tomorrow will be a brighter day.
