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 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. 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

Just
for
today, I will be agreeable. I will look
as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low,

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

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.
