A Beautiful Life Begins with a Beautiful Mind

 Today, challenge yourself to:

Encourage rather than discourage
Be open rather than closed
Live in the moment rather than live in the past
Be peaceful rather than right
Grow flowers rather than cut flowers
Support others’ success rather than resent it
Be courageous rather than fearful
Make your life a beautiful one ♥
