Just for Today

JUST FOR TODAY I will try to live through this day only and not
tackle my whole life problem(s) 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 not try to
adjust everything to my own desires. 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 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 if beautiful, and to believe that as I give
to the world, so the world will give to me.
