~ Just for Today ~

Just for today:
I will try to live through this day only,
and not try to tackle my whole problem all at once.
I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt
that I had keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today:
I will be happy, realizing that my happiness does not depend
on what others do or say, or what happens around me. Happiness
is the result of being at peace with myself.
Just for today:
I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust
everything to my own desires. I will accept my family, my friends,
my business, my circumstances as they come.
Just for today:
I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study.
I will learn something useful. 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 anyone knows it, it will not count.
I will do at least one thing I don't want to do, just for the 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 go out of my way to be kind to someone I meet.
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, and not try to improve or regulate anyone 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.
During this half hour, I will relax and seek truth. I will try to get
a better perspective on my life.
Just for today:
I will be unafraid. Especially, I will not be afraid to enjoy what
is beautiful, and to believe that I give to the world, so the world
will give to me.
