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

Write a poem or a short story, or draw something and dedicate it to someone you appreciate in your life!

Today I am PATIENT with myself and others. Sometimes it’s within the pauses that the greatest things come about.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Offer to help someone who is carrying heavy bags, either at the airport or in a supermarket.

Today I am INSPIRED to step out of my comfort zone and open my mind to new things!

“It is not enough to be compassionate – you must act.”

Take the time to get to know an acquaintance, or someone you pass by often. Whether it be a student in school that you’ve never taken the time to get to know, or a co-worker that you haven’t interacted with. Bonding with others is an amazing experience. A new friend may be on the horizon.

Today I am light-hearted and carefree, knowing all is well!

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Invite someone who is shy to hang out with you and your friends for the day, enrich each others’ lives with a bond and a new friendship. You never know what can happen!

Today everything I touch is a success! I can achieve anything I put my mind to. The world is my canvas!

“To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.”

Stop by a friend house and take care of an outside chore without being asked.

Today I will embrace my mistakes, acknowledge that it happened, make amends if necessary, and move forward!

“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

Smile at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful.

I devote my time to the things I love and remember how talented I truly am!

“Common man’s patience will bring him more happiness than common man’s power.”

Copy your favorite recipe and give it to someone you know who loves to cook!

I do not worry about what lies ahead of me. I trust in my ability to provide well for my own future.

“Understanding languages and other cultures builds bridges.”

Donate toys or books to a public school to help enhance the lives of children they touch.

I allow myself to rest. I will let go of my thoughts until the morning.

“Always hear others out and remain open-minded; the day you think you know everything is the day you have the most yet to learn.”

Drop off a teddy bear to your local hospital to give to a child in need.

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

“Love is wise; hatred is foolish.”

Write a thank-you note to a person from your past who has made a difference in your life.

I stay focused and work towards making my dreams a reality no matter what obstacles I have to overcome!

“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges that each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care.”

Write a note, send an e-greeting just to say hello to someone who might need a pick me up.

I am FULFILLED! I’m blessed to have many things I need right in front of me and I cannot stop counting my blessings.

“He who would practice the art of tolerance must guard well against an attitude of superiority, smugness, indifference and coldness.”

Make a playlist of your favorite songs and share it to a friend.

Today I am INVINCIBLE! This is my day to try new things and believe in myself that I CAN do it!

“Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.”

Spend some extra time cleaning up around the house. Go through the pile of papers that you’ve been meaning to sort through, organize your closet, or just see how you can make things look a bit more organized. A clean and fresh space leads to a clean and fresh start in other aspects of your life.

I am POWERFUL! I am strong, secure, and I know that I can get through anything one step at a time.

“Everyone on Earth, they’d tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance.”

Do something for your community today! Pick up the trash, volunteer for an event, or offer to help out in some way.

HAPPINESS is everywhere and I CHOOSE to see it – in the wag of a dogs tail, in the laugh of a child, in the bloom of a flower.

“Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today.”

Next time you’re on public transportation, leave the seat next to you empty. Someone else out there definitely needs that seat more than your backpack or purse, so let’s make a world where seats are only for people!

I am one step closer to being the person I dream of being. Today I am more understanding, I am more patient, I am more kind.

“Discord is the great ill of mankind; and tolerance is the only remedy for it.”

Set your alarm a bit earlier! Go outside and watch the sunrise. Take in the beautiful view and feel the first rays of morning sunshine on your face. Nature has a way of speaking to us. All we need to do is listen!

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