Today, I will forget yesterday, with all of its trials and tribulations, aggravations and setbacks, anger and frustrations. The past is already a dream from which I can neither retrieve a single word nor erase any foolish deed.

Today, I will resolve that if I have injured anyone yesterday through my thoughtlessness, I will not let this day’s sun set before I make amends, and nothing I do today will be of greater importance. If anyone has injured me or done anything wrong to me this day, I will forgive them before the day is out.

Today, I will not worry about the future. I will treasure this day, for it is all I have. I know that its rushing hours cannot be accumulated or stored, like precious grain, for future use. I will live in the moment. I cannot perform my best today by worrying about what is to come.

Today, I will embrace today’s difficult tasks, take off my coat, and make dust in the world. I will remember that the busier I am, the less harm I am apt to suffer, the tastier will be the food, the sweeter my sleep, and the better satisfied I will be with my place in the world. If I get knocked down by life, I will not look back for long, before I move forward. No one wins them all, and my failures, when they happen, are part of my growth. I will never quit, my turn will come.

Today, I will treat everyone I meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they are going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that I can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward.

Today, I will slow down and enjoy life. I will work hard, but I will always make time to relax and enjoy life. I will never be in too big a hurry to have time for people, to smile and speak a kind word.  I will take time to spend with God and in His Word.

Today, I will get out of the boat. I will no longer live in my comfort zone. I will have faith that when I step out of the boat Jesus will be with me. I will live life and live it more abundantly.

Today, I will pray for all I meet. I will pray for my co-worker, my family members and above all, I will pray for my enemies. I will pray and ask for God’s blessing on all I meet. I will start my day by talking to God and continue until I go to sleep at night.

Today, I will seek God, as I wake in the morning the first thing I will do is think about God and thank Him for yet another beautiful day. I will not let the stresses of the day invade my life. As the stresses of the day try to invade my life, I will seek God and His will for my life. I will remind myself that God is in control. I will seek God and His fellowship all during the day.

Today, I will exalt others above myself. I will give credit to others before I give credit to myself. I will be a servant to all I meet. I will humble myself that I may present Jesus to the world.

If we will read and follow these seeds of success each day, our lives will be changed and we will be starting to live the abundant life.
