“You’re never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.”

Let someone waiting in line behind you at the grocery store go ahead of you. This could help them keep to their schedule!

I understand the importance of time in life! I start on time and I arrive on time.

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Take the time to enjoy nature. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful world; it’s worth slowing down to take it in.

I will proudly say yes to others but, I will make sure that by doing so I am not saying no to myself.

“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”

Does your neighbor have a cluttered yard or overgrown weeds? Lend a hand and surprise them with a clean yard.

I have so much to SHARE! Whether it be a snack, advice or a hug! I will be inspired to GIVE!

“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”

Follow your passions. It’s your life, live it the way that you want to. Life is too short to be unhappy.

I am grateful! I have so much to be THANKFUL for and its about time I recognize that!

“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”

Visit someone in the hospital. Whether you’re there to see a family member, friend or just happen to walk by, pop in and visit someone who may not receive many visitors. You could be their superhero!

I allow myself to heal. Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed… it means the damage no longer controls my life.

“The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.”

Buy a lottery ticket for someone who can’t afford it themselves. Remember it only takes 1 ticket to win, and even the gesture could make their day.

I do NOT quit! The moment I want to quit, is usually the moment before a miracle happens. I will not give up!

“Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It’s like medicine…very healing.”

Give an anonymous donation of whatever you can afford to a charity or non profit of your choice. Your donation will help them continue to help others!

I let go of the past that I do not need and create the future that I want!

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”

Buy a dozen sandwiches and pass them out to homeless folks in a busy area. This small gesture could mean an unexpected meal for someone who needs it most.

I am talented! I am gifted and have so many skills to share with the world!

“Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life.”

When going out to dinner, pull out your guests chair for them. Small gestures like this go a long way!

Instead of dwelling in the troubles of the past, I see each day as a blank canvas waiting to be painted with the colors of new friends, smiles and energy!

“That’s what I consider true generosity: You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.”

Arrange to stop by a nursing home and donate your time and talents! This could mean playing a musical instrument, reading to them, telling jokes, or just providing an ear to listen.

I believe in my own strength! I am a survivor; I am resilient and strong!

“There’s a bright spot in every dark cloud.”

Offer to babysit for a couple you know could use some special time together. Perhaps that extra time can help them reigite something they lost amidst the hectic nature of life.

I must make a choice to take a chance or nothing will ever change! Today is the first day of the rest of my life and it’s about time I do something about that!

“Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.”

The ability to impact someone’s life is within your reach, waiting for you to reach out. Follow through on a promise; show your love; provide direction; wish someone good luck!

I appreciate the gift of friendship. While disagreements may arise and we may choose to live our lives differently, there is something to learn from everyone.

“Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.”

Pay the toll fee for the person in the car behind you. That one act of kindness can create a ripple effect that outlasts your expectations.

I look back at obstacles I’ve overcome, acknowledge lessons learned, and look ahead to a future of growth.

“The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.”

Tell a manager of a store you shop at how much you appreciate an employees assistance. You’d be amazed how far a simple thank you can go.

I look up at the sky and I’m THANKFUL for all the beauty that surrounds me even in the midst of a storm.

“Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”

Offer to babysit for a couple you know could use some special time together. Perhaps that extra time can help them reignite something they lost amidst the hectic nature of life.

I forgive! I forgive and move on; I release myself from the negatives of the past and free myself from the burden of bitterness.

“Kindness is like sugar, it makes life taste a little sweeter.”

Thank your local fire or police departments for their service. Your simple words of gratitude serves as a reminder as to why they selflessly put their lives at risk for the wellbeing of others.

I will not get frustrated. To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.
