Seeds of Success -
I give thanks for this day. I know that I have not yet
accomplished all that I can and if that is the reason I am
bathed in the fresh dew of another dawn, I am most grateful. I
am prepared at last to face today’s challenges.
I will forget yesterday with all of its trials and tribulations,
aggravations and setbacks, angers and frustrations. The past is
already a dream from which I can neither retrieve a single word
nor erase any foolish deeds.
I will resolve, however, that if I have injured anybody through
my thoughtlessness, I will not let this day end before I make
amends and nothing I do today will be of greater importance.
I will not fret the future. My success and happiness do not
depend on straining to see what lurks dimly on the horizon but
to do this day what lies clearly at hand. I will treasure this
day for it is all I have. I know that its rushing hours cannot
be accumulated or stored like precious grain for future use.
I will live as all good actors do when they are on stage, only
in the moment. I cannot perform at my best today by regretting
my previous acts mistakes or worrying about the scene to come.
I will embrace today's difficult tasks, take off my coat and
make dust in the world. I will remember that the busier I am the
less harm I am apt to suffer, the tastier will be my food, the
sweeter my sleep and the better satisfied I will be with my
place in the world.
I will free myself today from slavery to the clock and calendar.
Although I will plan this day to conserve my steps and energy, I
will begin to measure my life in deeds not years, in thoughts
not seasons, in feelings not figures on a dial.
I will remain aware of how little it takes to make this a happy
day. Never will I pursue happiness because it is in not a goal
just a by product and there is no happiness in having or getting
only in giving.
I will run from no danger I might encounter today, because I am
sure that nothing will happen that I am not equipped to handle.
Just as any gem is polished by friction, I am certain to become
more valuable through this day's adversity and if one door
closes, another will always open.
I will live this day as if it were Christmas, I will be a giver
of gifts and deliver to my enemies the gift of forgiveness, my
opponents tolerance, my friends a smile, my children a good
example. Every gift will be wrapped with unconditional love.
I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate
or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will
harvest because every action good or bad is always followed by
an equal reaction. I will only plant good seeds this day.
I will treat today as a priceless violin. One may draw harmony
from it and another discord, yet no one will blame the
instrument. Life is the same in that if I play it correctly it
will give forth beauty, but if I play it ignorantly it will
produce ugliness.
I will condition myself to look at every problem that I
encounter today as no more than a pebble in my shoe. I remember
the pain so harsh I could hardly walk and recall my surprise
when I removed my shoe and found only a grain of sand.
I will work convinced that nothing great was ever achieved
without enthusiasm. To do anything today that is truly worth
doing I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold
and danger but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well
as I can.
I will face this world with goals set for this day, but they
will be attainable ones not the vague, impossible variety
declared by those who make a career of failure. I realize that
life always tries me with a little first to see what I will do
with a lot.
I will never hide my talents. If I am silent I am forgotten. If
I do not advance I will fall back. If I walk away from any
challenge today my self-esteem will be forever scarred. If I
cease to grow even a little I will become smaller. I reject the
stationary position because it is the beginning of the end.
I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it
hurts today. I know that the world is a looking glass and gives
back to me the reflection of my own soul. Now I understand the
secret of correcting the attitude of others and that is to
correct my own.
I will turn away from any temptation today that may cease me to
break my word or lose my self-respect. I am positive that the
only thing I possess more valuable than my life is my honor.
I will work this day with all my strength content in the
knowledge that life does not consist of wallowing in the past or
peering anxiously at the future.
It is appalling to contemplate the great number of painful steps
by which one arrives at a truth so old so obvious and so
frequently expressed. Whatever it offers little or much, my life
is now!
I will pause whenever I am feeling sorry for myself today and
remember that this is the only day that I have and I must play
it to the fullest. What my part may signify in the great whole I
may not recognize but I am here to play it, and now is the time.
I will count this day a separate life. I will remember that
those who have fewest regrets are those who take each moment as
it comes for all that it is worth.
This is my day, These are my seeds. Thank you for this precious
garden of time...
