I greet each day with Love in my heart
For this is a great secret of happiness
Only the unseen power of Love can open the hearts of people
I will make Love my most effective tool
in bringing happiness to others and myself
My Love will melt all hearts
Likened to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day
I greet each day with Love in my heart
Henceforth will I look on all things with Love and I will be born again
I will love the sun, for it warms my bones
I will love the rain, for it cleanses my spirit
I will love the light, for it shows me the way
Yet I will love the darkness, for it shows me the stars
I will welcome happiness, for it enlarges my heart
I will endure sadness, for it teaches me compassion
I will welcome all obstacles, for they speed my growth
I greet each day with Love in my heart
I will love my enemies and they will become my friends
I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers and sisters
Always will I dig for reasons to applaud
Never will I scratch for excuses to gossip
When I am tempted to criticize, I will hold my tongue
When I am moved to praise, I will shout from the roof
Is it not so, that birds, the wind, the sea and all Nature
Speak with music of praise for their Creator?
Can I not speak the same music to God’s children?
Henceforth will I remember this and it will change my life
I will love all manner of Humanity
For each has qualities to be admired even though they may be hidden
With Love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate
Which they have built around their hearts
In its place I will build bridges
I will love the ambitious, for they will inspire me
I will love the failures, for they will teach me
I will love the young, for the faith they hold
I will love the old, for the wisdom they share
I will love the ugly, the beautiful, the rich, the poor and the meek
I will acknowledge the spark of Divinity in each one I meet
I greet each day with Love in my heart
I will respond to the actions of others with Love
Adversity and discouragement will beat against my shield of Love
And become as the softest of rain
My shield of Love will sustain me when I am alone,
Uplift me in moments of despair,
And calm me in times of exultation
I will awaken each morning with a vitality I have never known before
My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will rise
My desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise
And I will be happier than I ever believed possible
I will become stronger, until one day I can cast aside the shield
And walk unencumbered beside all manner of humanity
Then the radiation of my Unconditional Love
Will re-awaken the joy of living in every one I meet
I greet each day with Love in my heart
I will address each whom I meet in only one way –
In silence and to myself I will say “I love you”
Though spoken in silence
These words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkle my brow,
Bring a smile to my lips and echo in my voice
For each pleasant and constructive experience, I will be grateful
From each unpleasant experience, I will learn
And for that learning, I will be grateful
I greet each day with Love in my heart
Most important of all, I will love myself
And because of this I will zealously inspect all things
Which enter my body, my mind, my soul and my heart
Never will I overindulge the requests of the flesh
Rather I will cherish this present body with cleanliness and moderation
Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair
Rather, I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages
Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied
Rather, I will feed it with meditation and prayer
Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter
Rather I will share it, and it will grow and warm the Earth
I greet each day with Love in my heart
Henceforth will I love all the world
From this moment, I take the steps toward a higher level of development
In the improvement of humanity
If I had no other quality, I can succeed with Love alone
Love alone is capable of uniting living beings
In such a way as to complete and fulfill them
For it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves
And if this is daily practiced on an individual basis
Can it not bring about the day when it embraces all the world?
