JUST FOR TODAY.......
Dr. William S. Hendrie
Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life's problems at once.
Just for today I will be happy. Abe Lincoln said it -- "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will 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 adjust myself to whatever is, and seek to change those things that must, and can be changed.
Just for today I will exercise my soul three ways:-
- I will do someone a good turn, and not get found out.
- I will not show anyone how much my feelings hurt. They may be hurt, but I will be responsible for that.
- Just for today I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, think high, act courteously, criticising not one bit. I will not find fault with anything, and not try to improve or regualte anybody other than myself.
Just for today I will have a Plan. I may not follow it exactly, but 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.
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.
