Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problems at once. I can do something for 12 hours that would appal me if I felt I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. 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 it myself to it.
Just for today I will 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 someone a good turn and NOT get found out; If somebody knows about 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 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, talk low, act courteous, criticise not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program. I may not stick to 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 sometimes, I will try and get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will 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.
