"Today I Will" 
Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his/her thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference. I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. While is here, will use it for loving and giving. Today will make a difference. I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to go through my trash filled with failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It's okay to stumble but I will get up. It's okay to fail but I will rise again. Today I will make a difference. I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. Today 1 will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my life. "TODAY I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE"
