I Work To The Best Of My Ability Today For A Better Tomorrow

I work to the best of my ability today for a better tomorrow.

I recognize each day is different.  Experiences day to day illicit a range of emotions depending on my current underlying emotion, my experiences in the past, my temperament, and my overall perspective, my lens in life.  Some days I can work harder, while others are a struggle to stand upright, to move past apprehensions, fears, and inhibitions.  Each day is work, no matter the starting point.

I work to the best of my ability today for a better tomorrow.

I recognize I cannot work alone, as much I want to or believe I can.  I need my faith in God.  I need the shoulders of friends to lean on and sometimes strong arms to carry me.  I need healthy relationships to be fed by both selflessly giving and openly receiving.  These relationships form a foundation.  Without a sturdy foundation, a rich soil, I cannot grow and I cannot work to my fullest capability.

I work to the best of my ability today for a better tomorrow.

I recognize I live in a body that was given to me with no choice in the matter.  It is my responsibility to strengthen, to rest, to nourish, to feed, to train, to listen to this body so it may carry me with the least amount of problems into the future.  My health is my responsibility.

I work to the best of my ability today for a better tomorrow.

I recognize I make mistakes.  I acknowledge and accept my role and responsibility in these.  I know my intention is not to hurt others, though it is the outcome at times.  I focus, pray and meditate on what I can do to prevent the same mistake(s), the same painful outcome, as I am the only one I can control and change.

I work to the best of my ability today for a better tomorrow.

I recognize I have many roles in life.  I am not perfect in any one, nor will I ever be.  I do not believe I am defined by my roles; I define the roles.  I work to become a better giver, listener, more compassionate, more patient, a more open person in general to feed the hats/roles I have in this life.  I believe this work only stops when I am no longer living.

I am full of hope and promise because I work to the best of my ability today for a better tomorrow.
