Sometimes we find the news and situations in life wearing us down.. when I am tired I like to go back and read a little Max.. refreshing.. and thankful he just made a difference. :-)

a brand new end." Author: Carl Bard
Today I Will Make A
Difference
Today I will make a difference. I will begin by
controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his 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. I will not let petty inconveniences
such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid
negativism and gossip. 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, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child
and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last.
When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it
for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference.
I
will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with
mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit
them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal.
It's OK to stumble...I will get up. It's OK to fail...I will rise again. Today I
will make a difference.
