Doing things differently for a change is as good as a rest. Be kind to yourself，
make small changes in your life，and rest in the process:
You may send yourself some flowers，a card，or buy a small inexpensive gift.
Or take a long relaxing walk;reflect on the scenery and environment around you.
Bring a CD player to work and softlyor read the volumes of paperwork you receive each day.
You may start writing in a personal journal;record as many positive thoughts，
actions---whatever is lovely about you.Or restart your hobbies，or get a new haircut or style.
Go all out to do something kind for yourself.Respect yourself;forgive yourself.
Choose to move forward instead of remaining stuck in the past or replaying a
mistake you made over and over again in your mind.
The point is：you must plan to do something kind for yourself，
and then stick to that plan.Our lives are
much too busy these days to let it fall to chance or when you get around to it.
Being kind to yourself will ultimately result in your being kind to others.
The new day is here，and so are you！Now that we’ve started this new day，
I hope that you're ready to give it your best，and enjoy it for all it's worth!
Remember today that you are alive.
Sometimes we forget that you have a purpose that is all your own，
no one else isyou.You have dreams and hopes anddesires.Listen to your heart for a while.
Remember today all the blessings you have：There’s beauty in every direction you look;
enjoy the abundance that is already yours;the world is a wonderful place and you’re here.
Remember today that you get what you give：Your world is a mirror of your innerself;
love will be yours when you give it away.
Remember today that life is creation：
As long as you live you can always contribute your own special voice.
Remember today is a special time;make the best of it while you can.
I believe it is possible for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things.For me，
the difference between an”ordinary”and an“extraordinary”
person is not the title that person might have，
but what they do to make the world a better place for us all.
I have no idea why people choose to do what they do.
When I was a kid I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up，
but I did know what I didn’t want to do.
I didn’t want to grow up.And I certainly didn’t think about being an activist.
I didn’t even really know what one was.
My older brother was born deaf.Growing up，
I ended up defending him and I often think that
is what started me on my path to whatever it is I am today.
If I have any power as an individual，
it’s because I work with other individuals in countries all
over the world.We are ordinary people and we’ve all workedI believe that words are easy.
I believe that truth is told in the actions we take.
And I believe that if enough ordinary people supported our desire for a better world with action，
we could accomplish absolutely extraordinary things.
