I read this prayer every day. I even have it in my personal folders at work and on a little card in my purse. I try and focus on one point every day
********
Just for today I will try and live through this day only, and not try to tackle my whole life problems at once. I can do something for 12 hours that would appal me if I thought that I had to do it for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. Most people 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 and strenghen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires 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 anyone knows about 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 maybe hurt but 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, criticise not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anyone except myself.
Just for today I will have a programme, 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 will 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, the world will give to me.
