“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, ‘What’s in it for me?’”

Lend your skills, talents, and experience to someone free of charge.

Today I see a piece of myself within everyone I meet. Empathy is the pathway to understanding and growth.

“It’s never too late to become who you want to be. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.”

Start an exercise routine. You have to take care of your health in order to be the very best you can be! It’s not about how much time you allocate, it’s about consistency.

I enjoy ALL of life’s simple pleasures from my morning coffee to the afternoon sun on my face. There are so many ‘little things’ to be savored!

“He stands erect by bending over the fallen. He rises by lifting others.”

Make an important introduction for someone. Remember, we rise by lifting others.

Today I will keep in mind the EQUALITY and WHOLENESS of all human beings! As Dalai Lama said, In our quest for happiness and avoidance of suffering we are all fundamentally the same and therefore equal.

“No one can ever take your memories from you – each day is a new beginning, make good memories every day.”

Make today a day of new beginnings. Have you been thinking about making a change? Today is the day to take that first step.

Today I remind myself that there is always time to start over, to be a better person then I was yesterday, and to do the things I always wanted to do.

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

Spread the love today! Compliment everyone and everything that pleases you today without hesitation. You never know when the right words will make another’s day.

Today I am EXPRESSIVE! I express my love and appreciation for others; I express my compassion and kindness; I express and share my worries and troubles with my loved ones. Let’s express ourselves freely!

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”

Try and settle a fight between friends. Kind words and patience can solve any problem.

Today I will be make the impossible possible. There is so much I can do when I believe in my own strength to achieve what others deem unachievable.

“Be strong now because things will get better. It might be stormy now but it can’t rain forever.”

Send someone you know a joke to cheer them up.

Today I remember that I am a WARRIOR. I can achieve that in which I believe. My confidence overpowers my self-doubt.

“Don’t let your fear grow bigger than your faith.”

Share positive news and acts of kindness with your community. There are so many examples out there of people helping one another. Share those. Talk about those. Together we can prevent getting caught in a bad news hopelessness spiral.

Today I am fearless. I let go of any doubts that would hold me back from achieving my goals!

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

Spend some extra time cleaning up around the house. A clean and fresh space leads to a clean and fresh start in other aspects of your life.

Today I start fresh. I let the problems of tomorrow fade away so I can focus on the positive day ahead.

“We don’t set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people’s hearts.”

Contact someone you haven’t seen in a while and arrange a phone catch up.

Today I am a listening ear. I approach each person with and open heart and an open mind.

“There is no small act of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world.”

We all can benefit from a little affection. Give someone a hug. The kind that comes from the heart, not just the arms.

Today I am KIND; in the way I look at the world, the way I look at myself and the way I interact with those around me.

“You will never find time for anything. If you want time you have to make it.”

Your brain needs exercise just as much as your body. Segment a few minutes each day to read the book you’ve been hoping to make time for. It won’t move from your shelf unless you make a conscious effort to begin.

I am living in the PRESENT. I will not let the difficulties of my past interfere with my JOY for today.

“In every crisis, doubt or confusion, take the higher path – the path of compassion, courage, understanding and love.”

Send an inspirational quote to a friend.

Today I see the beauty in everyone and everything. The more I look for beauty the more it will be shown to me.

“There is no small act of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world.”

Donate to a charity.

I am beautiful inside and out! Kindness is always gorgeous!

“Smile with your lips, smile with your eyes, smile with your heart and your soul and your life.”

Make a point to begin each phone call with a smile and a few kind words. Your smile can most certainly be heard and it makes all the difference to the person on the other end of the line.

Today I will keep on the sunny side of life! It will help me brighten my day!

“The bad news is, time flies. The good news is, you are the pilot!”

Running late? (It happens to the best of us.) Make a phone call or send an email to let someone know you won’t be there on time.

Today I won’t let a moment go by without appreciating it. There is something special to learn from every day, and when we’re in a rush, we can miss things!
