[00:00:16] Just for Today

[00:00:18] Just for today I will try to

[00:00:21] live through this day only,

[00:00:23] and not tackle all my problems at once.

[00:00:26] I can do something for

[00:00:27] twelve hours that would appall me

[00:00:30] if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

[00:00:34] Just for today I will be happy.

[00:00:37] This assumes to be true

[00:00:39] what Abraham Lincoln said,

[00:00:42] that most folks are as happy as

[00:00:44] they make up their minds to be.

[00:00:47] Just for today I will adjust myself to what is,

[00:00:51] and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.

[00:00:55] I will take my luck as it comes,

[00:00:57] and fit myself to it.

[00:01:00] Just for today I will try to

[00:01:02] strengthen my mind I will study;

[00:01:05] I will learn something useful.

[00:01:07] I will not be a mental loafer.

[00:01:10] I will read something that requires effort,

[00:01:13] thought and concentration.

[00:01:15] Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways:

[00:01:20] I will do somebody a good turn,

[00:01:23] and not get found out;

[00:01:25] if anybody knows of it, it will not count.

[00:01:29] I will do at least two things

[00:01:31] I don't want to do just for exercise.

[00:01:34] I will not show anyone

[00:01:36] that my feelings are hurt;

[00:01:38] they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

[00:01:41] Just for today I will be agreeable.

[00:01:45] I will look as well as I can,

[00:01:47] dress becomingly, keep my voice low,

[00:01:51] be courteous, criticize not one bit.

[00:01:55] I won't find fault with anything,

[00:01:57] not try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.

[00:02:01] Just for today I will have a program.

[00:02:05] I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it.

[00:02:09] I will save myself from two pests:

[00:02:12] hurry and indecision.

[00:02:15] Just for today I will have a quiet half hour

[00:02:18] all by myself and relax.

[00:02:22] During this half hour, sometime,

[00:02:24] I will try to get a better perspective on my life.

[00:02:28] Just for today I will be unafraid.

[00:02:32] Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy

[00:02:35] what is beautiful and to believe

[00:02:37] that as I give to the world,

[00:02:40] so the world will give to me.
