I CHOOSE TO LIVE EACH MOMENT WITH APPRECIATION AND
COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE OF MY OWN DIVINITY AND BEAUTY.

I CHOOSE TO APPRECIATE AND ACCEPT THE BEAUTY IN ALL
BEINGS AND THE PERFECT DIVINITY IN EACH MOMENT.

I OPEN MY HEART TO THE POSSIBILITY OF LOVE AND BENEFIT
FROM EVERY BEING AND EACH MOMENT.

I PURGE MYSELF OF ALL DOUBT, NEGATIVITY, JUDGMENTAL
TENDENCIES, GUILT, PANIC, AND FEARFUL THINKING.

I ALWAYS SEEK THAT WHICH I NEED TO GROW, TO BUD, TO
BLOOM, TO BLOSSOM, TO FRUIT, TO BEAR SEED.

I DARE TO DRAW INTO MYSELF THE POSITIVE MANIFESTATION OF
EACH TRIAL AND DIFFICULTY; THE RIGHTNESS OF EVERY LESSON.

I BREATHE DEEPLY AND SAVOR THE LOVE AND BENEFIT THAT
SURROUNDS AND EMBRACES MY LIFE AS I LIVE IT EACH MOMENT.

I FORGIVE MYSELF WITH EACH BREATH I TAKE AND RENEW MY TRANCEFORMATIVE INTENTIONS WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART.

I GLORY IN THE GOODNESS AND RIGHTNESS OF ALL THAT I
ENCOUNTER AND ALL THAT I AM.

I AM A DIVINE AND BEAUTIFUL BEING.
