Just for today,
I will try to live through this day only,
and 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.
This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, 
"most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
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 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 exercise my soul in three ways:
I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out.
I will do at least two things I don't want to 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, 
talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit,
not find fault with anything and 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 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 perspective of my life.

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.
