Just For Today I will try to 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 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 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, 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.

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 perspctive of my life.

Just for today I will be unafraid.  Especially I willl  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.
