-Kenneth L. Holmes
JUST FOR TODAY I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once.
JUST FOR TODAY I will be happy. After all, most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
JUST FOR TODAY I will look as agreeable as I can, dress becomingly, speak low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and not try to improve anybody except myself.
JUST FOR TODAY I will adjust myself to what is; and I will not keep trying to adjust everything else to my own desires.
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 do-just for exercise. And today, if my feelings are hurt, I will not show it to anyone.
JUST FOR TODAY I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
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 for meditation and relaxation.
JUST FOR TODAY I will be unafraid.
