It’s a funny thing about us human beings: not many of us doubt God’s existence and then start sinning. Most of us sin and then start doubting His existence.

*~*Beginning Today *~*
 
Beginning today, I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past, and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
 
Beginning today, I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow, without first
making the most of today.
 
Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person
worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy
spending time with, and someone I like to get to know better.
 
Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and
I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
 
Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten
path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my
quest for growth and self-improvement.
 
Beginning today I will take life one day at a time,
one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
 
Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.
 
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences -- I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself or anyone else;
perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But, I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
 
Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness
and I will do things that make me happy...
admire the beautiful wonders of nature,
listen to my favorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy,
soak in a bubble bath.
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
 
Beginning today I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savor all the carious flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
 
Beginning today -- And every day for the rest of me life.
