JUST FOR TODAY...
Just for today I
will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once.
I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had
to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I
will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most
folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Just for today I
will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own
desires. I will take my “luck” as it comes, and fit myself to it.
Just for today I
will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I
will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort,
thought, and concentration.
Just for today I
will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not
get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least
two things I don’t want to do – just for exercise. I will not show anyone that
my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I
will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, keep my
voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit. I won’t find fault with
anything, not try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I
will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will
save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I
will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax. During this half hour,
sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I
will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful,
and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
