I CHOOSE TO LIVE EACH MOMENT WITH APPRECIATION AND
\nCOMPLETE ACCEPTANCE OF MY OWN DIVINITY AND BEAUTY.<\/p>\n

I CHOOSE TO APPRECIATE AND ACCEPT THE BEAUTY IN ALL
\nBEINGS AND THE PERFECT DIVINITY IN EACH MOMENT.<\/p>\n

I OPEN MY HEART TO THE POSSIBILITY OF LOVE AND BENEFIT
\nFROM EVERY BEING AND EACH MOMENT.<\/p>\n

I PURGE MYSELF OF ALL DOUBT, NEGATIVITY, JUDGMENTAL
\nTENDENCIES, GUILT, PANIC, AND FEARFUL THINKING.<\/p>\n

I ALWAYS SEEK THAT WHICH I NEED TO GROW, TO BUD, TO
\nBLOOM, TO BLOSSOM, TO FRUIT, TO BEAR SEED.<\/p>\n

I DARE TO DRAW INTO MYSELF THE POSITIVE MANIFESTATION OF
\nEACH TRIAL AND DIFFICULTY; THE RIGHTNESS OF EVERY LESSON.<\/p>\n

I BREATHE DEEPLY AND SAVOR THE LOVE AND BENEFIT THAT
\nSURROUNDS AND EMBRACES MY LIFE AS I LIVE IT EACH MOMENT.<\/p>\n

I FORGIVE MYSELF WITH EACH BREATH I TAKE AND RENEW MY TRANCEFORMATIVE INTENTIONS WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART.<\/p>\n

I GLORY IN THE GOODNESS AND RIGHTNESS OF ALL THAT I
\nENCOUNTER AND ALL THAT I AM.<\/p>\n

I AM A DIVINE AND BEAUTIFUL BEING.<\/p>\n
