“How beautiful a day can be, when kindness touches it.”

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.

I will use today as a reminder to appreciate the little things and remind myself of the beautiful world around me.

“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.

Today I will be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. I’ll be there for them in the same way I would want someone to be there for me.

“The way you help heal the world is you start with your own family.”

Treat someone you live with to breakfast in bed.

Today I celebrate the people in my life in word and deed.

“Let loyalty and truth be paramount with you.”

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.

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

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.”

Spread kindness through the power of your voice.

Today I enjoy every second of my day! I smell every flower, sing every song, and feel ever so present on this beautiful earth!

“Better to expose ourselves to ingratitude than fail in assisting the unfortunate.”

Look for an opportunity to share your meal with someone in need. It’s not about whether he accepts or declines, it’s about the offer.

Today I will be conscientious of the needs of others. Sometimes people just need someone to understand their needs.

“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again tomorrow.”

Spend some time reading to kids at a children’s hospital.

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.”

Keep your cool! Even when the waves come crashing down, when your life seems to be unraveling at the seams, when the burden is too heavy to carry; stay calm, and take a deep breath. You can handle this.

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

“The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

Forgive someone today. I know it might be hard but it could be worth it. This can help you get started on rebuilding important relationships in your life. Plus, this is a great step for you to grow as a mature individual.

Today I will remember that my life is a joy filled with love, fun and friendship. All I need do is stop all criticism, forgive, relax and be open.

“Help one another; there’s no time like the present and no present like the time.”

Take post it’s and write messages filled with positivity, love, and hope. Stick them everywhere. Your message might find the right person at the right time.

Today I will remind myself that although there may be bad days, I can still find something positive to look forward to in every day!
