“Wisdom begins in wonder.”

Plant a tree! Whether you physically plant the seed or make a donation, you can rest assured knowing that you have added more beauty and life to the world.

Today is my chance to change the world! I have the ability to make an impact and and it’s time for action.

“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”

Go out of your way to attend a wedding you might not have attended.

Today I will try new things. Whether it’s a new food or even a new hair style, I open my eyes to the different things I can do in life!

“Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.”

Whether you believe in God, the Universe, or anything in between, take a moment and say a few words of prayer for someone in need of a bit of healing.

Today I am grateful for the love that is around me! There are so many people that care about me, it’s about time I show them how much they mean to me as well!

Start an exercise routine. Whether it’s three times a week, once a week, or as simple as five minutes a day. Taking care of YOU allows you to be your very best.

Today I am ambitious and work relentlessly towards my goal. I remind myself that if I don’t try my best, I will never know what I am truly capable of.

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”

Today I recognize that there are those out there who have it harder than I do. There is always something I can give to others and by doing so I give far more to myself.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

Is your office short on the basic manners like saying hello, please, and thank you? Give a genuine heartfelt greeting to your coworkers as they head in and out of work.

Today I will greet everyone that crosses my way with kindness. Kindness can melt the walls they’ve come to put up around their heart.

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

Have a knack for music? Put your talents to good use. Arrange to stop by a nursing home and play piano for the residents. Music, just like kindness, uplifts the soul!

Today I will be generous with my gifts. I will remember that I have strengths that the world can use, and freely give my skills, my talents, and my beautiful smile.

“I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.”

Today I will be AWARE. I will be mindful of my surroundings and all of the blessings that appear throughout my day. Life has so much to offer me!

“If I had it to do again, I’d ask more questions and interrupt fewer answers.”

Be considerate. Become mindful of waiting for a person to finish speaking before interrupting to add your thoughts. So simple, but often overlooked.

Today I am a sounding board. I am mindful of truly hearing others.

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

Have faith in yourself. That’s right; sometimes the hardest kindness to do is for yourself.

Today I will remind myself that I have and will continue to take the leaps of faith needed to overcome any obstacle I may face.

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

Today I am patient instead of jumping to conclusions! Sometimes time is all I need to solve my issues.

“Getting money is not all a man’s business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.”

Introduce yourself to the “newbie” at work. Make them feel welcomed and share something about yourself.
