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.
