Just For Today

Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not tackling my whole life problem at once.� I can do something at this moment that would discourage me if I had to continue it for a lifetime.

Just for today I will try to be happy, realizing that my happiness does not depend on what others do or say or on what happens around me.� Happiness is a result of being at peace with myself.

Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not force everything to adjust to my own desires.� I will accept my family, my friends, my business, my circumstances as they come.

Just for today I will take care of my physical health; I will exercise my mind; I will read something spiritual.

Just for today I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out.� If anyone knows of it, it will not count.� I will do at least one thing I don't want to do, and I will perform some small act of love for my neighbor.

Just for today I will go out of my way to be kind to someone I meet.� I will be considerate, talk low, and look as good as I can.� I will not engage in unnecessary criticism or finding fault, nor 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 for today I will have a quiet time of meditation wherein I shall think of my Higher Power, of myself, and of my neighbor.� I shall relax and seek truth.

Just for today I shall be unafraid.� Particularly, I shall be unafraid to be happy, to enjoy what is good, what is beautiful, and what is lovely in life.

Just for today I will not compare myself with others.� I will accept myself and live to the best of my ability.

Just for today I choose to believe that I can live this one day - The Choice Is Mine.

These were given to me by one of the most important people in my life.
