1. Today I see all things as lessons.
My purpose in life is to learn and to grow. I have no other goals to accomplish. As such, everything that occurs is an opportunity to fulfill my reason for being alive in this world.
2. Today I am determined to learn.
I no longer look for right and wrong, for problems and solutions, for security and comfort. I seek to engage with life as a classroom, learning the lessons for which I took birth. I see all events and interactions as opportunities for my growth.
3. Today I accept that I will die.
Death is a great blessing, putting all things in perspective. It is the undeniable reality that my time in this world is limited. Because I accept I will one day exit this world, I can afford to invest fully in my life.
4. Today I will not honor fear.
Fear asks me to bow before its seductive reasoning. I proclaim my freedom by rising up and walking on the path of my own power. I allow the power of Divinity and Nature to flow through me.
5. Today I will not honor guilt.
Guilt is based on the false notion that punishment brings rewards. It is an illusion that condemnation can relieve pain and solve problems. I reject this flawed strategy and, instead, offer compassion to others and to myself.
6. Today I will not correct others.
I walk in surety that all beings are finding their way on their own path. All flowers blossom in the right season. I need not carry the burden of correction, as I grant others their precious freedom.
7. Today I will be grateful.
My gratitude is my security. I am not afraid to be thankful, and I ignore the fear that says I might lose something. All things must pass, with ever more blessings to arrive.
8. Today I recognize I could be mistaken.
How fortunate am I to understand my perceptions may not be accurate. I can relax and learn. Love and wisdom expand infinitely, and I need not be perfect to share in this expansion.
9. Today I will not honor shame.
I carry the torch of my own forgiveness, and I shed its light on the path for others. I seek no reasons to engage in fault-finding. Judgmental perceptions have no place in my vision.
10. Today I will smile.
I offer the gentleness of my face to the mirror of my life. I smile because of, and I smile in spite of. I reject the contraction of grimace as a means of communication.
11. Today I forgive.
Without reserve, without limited thought, I offer forgiveness to others and myself. Not judging, not evaluating, I delete all mental files by which I hold onto any pain based on the past. My concretized beliefs are now broken and discarded.
12. Today I honor my gifts.
I do not deny my strengths. I honor my talents and abilities. I bring them to the world without fear or hesitation.
13. Today I offer the world my gifts.
I find joy in extending myself into the world of relationships and events. I am here to participate in life. My integrity depends on my willingness to be authentic.
14. Today I will use my words well.
Speech is one means by which I communicate. I will nurture the skills that help me use my words as a means of communion. I endeavor to create intimacy and my speech is a tool which helps in this endeavor.
15. Today I honor my body.
My body is a temple of my soul. I use it as a device to bring myself fully into creation. I need little, I offer and receive a great deal.
16. Today I release the past.
There is no longer a need for me to sustain an autobiography based on the past. Memories are fallible. The past no longer determines who I am now, nor who I shall be moving forward.
17. Today I trust in the future.
I relax and practice acceptance that “all shall be well.” I no longer worry about an imagined future which will likely not occur. I have no need to perpetuate negative, self-fulfilling prophecies.
18. Today I accept the perfection of where I am.
There is nowhere more ideal for me than where I am. This is the perfect place and time for my growth and healing. There has never been a better day than today.
19. Today I accept the perfection of all things.
I am not interested in value systems. With the eyes of love and wisdom, I see all life gently unfolding. I allow all beings the precious freedom to be as they choose.
20. Today I accept I don’t know what I don’t know.
With an attitude of integrity, I happily appreciate how little I comprehend of the totality of life. I enjoy my not-knowing, and recognize I need not understand in order to love. I can afford to bumble blindly backward into a charmed life.
21. Today I accept the love that binds all beings.
All sentient beings are leaves on the same tree. My growth and fulfillment never require my gain at another’s loss. I celebrate the success of others, knowing it nourishes me.
22. Today I will yearn for what I want.
I am willing to deeply desire what I truly want. I seek not transitive props as a balm for my low self-esteem. I willingly feel my own passion for love, and I allow it to come to me and from me.
23. Today I want what love has to offer.
I will give love a chance to demonstrate to me it is real. I no longer bargain with life, accepting small amounts of happiness. I whole-heartedly open to a beautiful life.
24. Today I refuse the reasons to resist love.
I refuse to take any bait which hooks me into doubt or anger. I recognize my own subtle attractions to shame and fear, and I bypass them. I move through the world immune to negative thoughts.
25. Today I relinquish the struggle for control.
I have tried and failed to control the river of life. I now practice feeling a sense of flow, of gentle ease. I allow the door of each moment to open before me in unique and unexpected ways.
26. Today I trust.
My lack of faith is based on my sub-conscious desire to sabotage my life. I relinquish this bad habit and enter into the future with full faith. I allow the adventure of mystery to replace the stagnant defensiveness of certainty.
27. Today I blossom.
No longer must I march ahead into life with a plan for success. I relax into the present moment and feel myself expand from within. In this way, I embrace my divine and my human natures.
28. Today I am free.
Recognizing that all and everything is optional, I welcome what seems to limit me. I embrace my fallibilities and shortcomings. There is space in my heart for all all that makes me uncomfortable.
29. Today I am satisfied.
I choose exactly what is taking place in my life. I empower myself to accept all things. I give myself permission to cease struggling for an imagined perfection that does not exist.
30. Today I bless all.
I do not pick or choose. Like the sun, I shine on all. Regardless if I am appreciated or scorned, this day I shed my light on all, in all ways, always.
