live through this day only, and not tackle all my 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 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 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 a =

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, keep my voice =
low, be courteous, criticize not one bit. I won’t find fault with =
anything, nor try to improve or regulate anybody but =
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.

sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life and let my =
spirit commune with God’s Spirit.
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.
