Making the Most of Today

Book excerpt: Want to learn more about yourself? Boost your creativity? Build your self-esteem? You can start today. Making the Most of Today Daily Readings for Teens From January 1 through December 31, this book guides you through a whole year of positive thinking, practical life skills, feeling good about yourself, and having fun. Each day has its own reading and each reading begins with an inspiring quotation to start you thinking. A brief essay expands on the quotation with questions to consider, tips, or a story. A positive affirmation suggests an action you might take, or another way to use these ideas in your life - at home, at school, in the community, with your friends. The readings are short; they don't take more than a minute or two from start to finish. It's easy to form the habit of ''doing your reading'' every day. So it won't be long before you're making the most of every day.
