Because sometimes I need to remind myself....
Just for today I will try to live through this day
only & not tackle my whole life problem 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. Most folks are as
happy as they make up their minds to be.
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is & not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will take my “luck” as
it comes & fit myself into 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 & concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three
ways: I will do somebody a good turn & 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
good as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one
bit, not find fault with anything & 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
& indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by
myself & relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better
perspective on my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. I will enjoy
that which is beautiful & will believe that as I give to the world, so the
world will give to me.
