The gift of today

What if you woke up every morning and said:

– Thank you for the most wonderful life that I have been blessed with. I am ever so grateful for everything that has happened to me in my life – the good, the bad, the indifferent – all of these experiences collectively have made me richer in every sense of the word. 
 
– I know that I am not perfect today nor will I ever be. Perfection is not what I strive for, but rather being human, kind, gracious, hard-working, authentic, grateful and balanced.
 
– I came with nothing into the world and I will go back with nothing except my actions, good deeds and contributions, making the world a better place. This I commit to do today in everything I do, small or big. 
 
– Thank you for giving me the opportunity to think and start afresh, for yesterday is gone and tomorrow–who knows! But I have today, and that is all that counts. Today well-lived makes yesterday a good dream, and tomorrow full of hope and confidence. 

– Today will be the best day ever in my life. I will be more alive, more alert, more grateful!

If you said this every morning as you woke up, would not your day be more powerful?
