Just for today :
- I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once, I can do something for twelve hours that would appeal me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
- I will be happy. Abraham Lincoln: “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be”
- 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.
- 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.
- I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out; if anybody knows of 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 may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
- I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, keep my voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit. I won’t regulate anybody but myself.
- 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.
- I will have a quite half hours all by myself, and relax. During this half hours, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
- 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.
