Just for today I will try to live this day only, and not tackle my whole life's problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt 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, "Most people 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 desire. I will take my luck as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strenghten my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not b a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercize 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 today I will not show that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but toay I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreable. I will look as well a I can, dress becomingly, act courteously, critisize not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.
Just for today I will have program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will save myself from two pests: Hurry and indescision.
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 onmy life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially, I will not be affreid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
