Just for today.
Just for today,
I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once.
I can do something for 12 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.
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 myself 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,
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 cautiously,
Criticize not one bit,
Not find fault with anything,
And not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.
Just for today,
I will have a program.
I may not follow it exactly.
I will save myself from two pests,
Hurry and indecision.
Just for today,
I will have a quiet half an hour all by myself and relax.
During this half an 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 gave to the world,
So the world will give to me.
