Just for today I will try to live through the day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appeal me if I felt I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said: "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
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 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 look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk quietly, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.
Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself for meditation and relaxation. During this half-hour i will try to get 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, the world will give to me.
Wish this was achievable.Its too surreal.And i guess would make life less thrilling.But seriously i wish....
ReplyDeletei agree with u .. some of the points are surreal . But most of them if we are able to practice will certainly make life better .. Read This book if possible >> "Radiant Living" by Fowler
