“The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.”

Gift your favorite book to a friend who can gain from it as you have.

Today I share knowledge and seek it out in every which way I can.

“Be the same person privately, publicly, and personally.”

Give a genuine compliment to someone today and look them in the eye when you say it.

Today I live genuinely.

“Think big and don’t listen to people who tell you it can’t be done. Life’s too short to think small.”

Be YOU. Seems obvious but so often we are in constant pursuit of being someone else that we forget that who we are is absolutely AWESOME!

Today I am AWESOME! I’m not scared to be seen for who I am.

“As soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul.”

Learn a great joke and share it with others you meet throughout the day. We can all use a bit more laughter in our lives.

Today I am light hearted.

“Hugging: the truest form of giving and receiving.”

Give a heartfelt hug to someone who can use it. Don’t be afraid, let your guard down and simply connect.

Today I am open to others in the way I would hope others would be open to me.

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

Provide advice or guidance to someone who reaches out for help. Time should never be an excuse.

Today I see myself as a conduit for good.

“Share your smile with the world. It’s a symbol of friendship and peace.”

Pick up the phone and call someone who is celebrating a birthday today. A Facebook post is great, but the personal touch makes all the difference.

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

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.”

Donate to a local charity that is near and dear to your heart. We only truly have what we give away.

Today I seek to be a part of something greater than myself.

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

Write a thank you letter to someone in your life who has impacted you for good. Don’t let the amount of time that has passed discourage you from sending the letter along.

Today I am eager to inspire kindness in the hearts and minds of others.

“I aspire to be a giver. A giver of love, a giver of good vibes, and a giver of strength.”

Surprise a local police officer with a cup of coffee and pastry. Kindness always leads to more kindness.

Today I show gratitude in action.

“It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.”

Introduce yourself to someone new in your workplace, school or community center. A friendship hangs in the balance.

Today I am polite. I go out of my way to make others feel welcome and included.

“We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”

Encourage a sibling or family member to keep on keeping on. Family can be the source of joy and pain. What will you choose?

Today I am encouraging. I may not believe in something, but I will always believe in someone.

“Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.”

Speak kindness. Be mindful of the words you share and the tone in which you share them. Ask yourself, how can my words speak life into the heart of another.

Today I think twice before I speak. Words create things and I for one want to create love.

“I’m thankful for my struggle because without it I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strengths.”

Bet on yourself regardless of the myriad of mistakes you’ve made alone the way. Your past doesn’t need to determine your future, only you can do that.

Today I am tolerant. Not everything can be completed with a touch of a button.

“Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.”

Practice patience. Whether it’s getting out of the train, holding a door open, listening or with yourself. Patience is a virtue with unlimited benefits.

Today I am patient with myself and others. There is something to learn when we allow ourselves to slow down.

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

Step out of your comfort zone and engage in conversation with one person today you would normally overlook.

Today my curiosity allows me to open up in a beautiful way.
