Today, I will live in this day only, not focus on my whole life at once. I can do anything for twelve hours, even something that would appall me if I had to do it for a lifetime. I can live a minute at a time when needed.
Today, I will be happy, assuming what Abraham Lincoln said, that "most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." I will be grateful for all I have, and all I have had even my life lessons; they have made me who I am today. I will say thank you as much as I can, as everyone needs to be appreciated.
Today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study and learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will read something that will challenge me and give me a new lesson on life.
Today, I will take life as it comes. I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will admit I am not in control of everything. I will allow myself to be imperfect. I will say sorry for anything that needs to be apologised for.
Today, I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to, just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Today, I will be the best I can be. I will look as well as I can, dress well, talk nicely, act courteously, not gossip or criticise, even if I think it is justified. Before I speak I will check myself; does this need to be said right now, by me. I will not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.
Today, I will work my program and have a recovery plan. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will have a quiet half hour to myself, doing nothing but talking to my HP. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. I will save myself from hurry and indecision, giving myself space to hear my HP's plan for me.
Today, I will be courageous and celebrate my fears for they give me the opportunity to practise being courageous. 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.
Homage to Kenneth L. Holmes's Just for Today by me..
