Just for today … I will try to live through this day only and not try to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve-hours which 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 take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.

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 someone a good turn, and not get found out; if someone knows 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 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 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 perspective of my life.
