Just for Today

Just For Today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problems at once.

Just For Today I will be happy: This seems to be true that “most folk 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 to my own desires.

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 any body knows of it, it will not count.  I will do at least two things I don’t want to do.  I will not show anybody that my feelings are hurt, they may be hurt but I will not show it.

Just For Today I will be agreeable. I will criticise not one bit, not find fault with anything and not 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.

Just For Today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax.  During this half hour some time 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 what I give to the world, so the Father will give to me.
