JUST FOR TODAY
(I Have a Choice)
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 appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up 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 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 shall 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 try to go out of my way to be kind to someone I meet; I will be agreeable; I
will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not 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 FOR TODAY I will stop saying, "If I had time." I never will "find time" for anything. If I want
time, I must take it.
JUST FOR TODAY I will have a quiet time of meditation wherein I shall think of God as I understand
Him, 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 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!!!
