Just for today I will try to live through this day, this moment only, and not tackle
my whole life problem at once.
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, talk low,
act courteously, criticize 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 wellbeing plan. 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.
