“Time is a thief that never gets caught.”

Be kind to you and remind yourself that it’s okay to say “no” to activities that pull you away from what’s important.

Today every decision I make is the right decision for me.

“If you can’t think of anything nice to say, you’re not thinking hard enough.”

Remember to think before you speak. Your words have the ability to change the world and make a profound impact.

Today I am an instrument of love. I will use my voice to empower.

“Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly and most underrated agent of human change.”

Surprise a stranger with a gift. You don’t know what they might be going through. From a gift card, a free coffee, or simply a hug.

Today I have the power to do AMAZING things!

“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”

Create a list of goals that will help you obtain your dream. Hang them up somewhere that you’ll see them everyday.

Today I have an immense amount of potential and can achieve more than you can imagine.

“Stand for something. Make your life mean something. Start where you are with what you have. You are enough.”

Do one thing to further your career. Replace “I can’t” with “I can” when thinking of what you want in your career or setting goals.

Today I free myself from destructive doubts and fears. I am stronger when I believe in myself.

“Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone.”

Be kind to yourself today and turn off all technology even if for just an hour. Find a way to connect with someone in a more meaningful way. You will be reminded that the art of conversation is a GIFT.

Today I listen. I spend time with a loved one and am present in the moment.

“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”

Practice empathy by being mindful of someone who’s having a hard day. Take time to check on them. Everyone needs a helping hand at times.

Today I remember that every person, in some way, is hurting or in pain. I help in any way I can.

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

Take some time to think about what brings you joy. Is it taking a walk in nature, listening to the birds sing, spending time with friends and family, or volunteering? Choose one thing that brings you joy and schedule the time to do it.

Today I create a wonderful new day and a wonderful new future by being positive and forward thinking.

“There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”

Create a card for someone in the armed services. Remind them that they are loved and appreciated for their service.

Today I show love to others by using my creativity.

“It is our collective and individual responsibility … to preserve and tend to the world in which we all live.”

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. Plant a garden or grow your own herbs. No matter if you live in a house or an apartment, by planting some greens you will reduce your carbon footprint, enhance your diet and make our world a healthier place to live.

Today I am mindful that my actions today, impact tomorrow. When I choose, I choose wisely.

“Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion. Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return, just know in your heart it will be returned.”

Give a compliment to each person you encounter through your day. It can be as simple as telling someone that you appreciate them or that they are beautiful. Your words are a powerful gift to others.

Today I am a magnificent being with an abundance of power and love to give.

“Take time to be kind and to say ‘thank you’.”

Call a friend, ask them how they’re doing and REALLY listen. Being there for others is an act of kindness that shows others you value them.

“The key to any form of success is to always be growing, learning and following up on your work to see how you can improve.”

Choose one positive trait you want to be known for and focus on living it today.

Today I shine from the inside out.

“If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.”

Focus on sharing. Whether it be sharing a talent, a skill, your snack, your time or a life experience. You only truly have what you give to others.

Today I am open to let people in.

“Children learn more from what you are than what you teach.”

Choose wisely. Before making a choice, ask yourself if honesty and integrity are at the bedrock. Your name should never be for sale.

Today I lead by example.

“The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.”

Know someone struggling with the ups and downs of life? Make a thoughtful effort to bring some cheer into their day. Perhaps drop off their favorite muffin, go for a walk with them, or have a good heart to heart.

Today I am the cover for someone’s pot. I see and act on opportunities to make others feel loved and cared for.
