Just for Today

Just for today
-Just for today I will try to live through 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 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 try not 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, act courteously, 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, 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.
