Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall1 me if 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, that Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my luck as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I dont want to dojust for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously2, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but 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 half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a 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 to the world, so the world will give to me.
就为了今天,我将尽力只度过今天而不立刻去解决终身的问题。对一件令我沮丧而又需要坚持一辈子的事,我只能坚持十二个小时。就为了今天,我会非常快乐。亚伯拉罕林肯说过,大部分人都是决定想如何开心就如何开心。这已经被觉得是真理。
就为了今天,我会做自我调整适应事物本来的面目,而不是挖空心思使每一件事满足我们的欲望。当机会到来的时候我会抓住它。
就为了今天,我会尽力心强志坚。我会学习,学一些有用的东西。我不会做一个精神上的流浪汉。我会读一些需要努力、考虑和注意力集中的东西。
就为了今天,我会用三种办法来磨炼我的灵魂。我会做对某人有利的事但不可以被发现,若有人发现了就不算数。我将会做至少两件我不愿做的事情只为了磨练。我不会让其他人感到我的感情遭到了伤害:它们可能遭到了伤害,但今天我不想表现出来。
就为了今天,我会过得非常惬意。看着我达到了最好状况,穿着得体、讲话谦虚、行为礼貌、一点不吹毛求疵,尽可能改进和调节自己而不是其他人。
就为了今天,我会拟定一个计划,我或许不会严格地遵守它,但我必须要有计划。我会防止两种错误:仓促行事和犹豫不决。
就为了今天,我将会一个人静静地呆上半小时放松。在这半小时里,某个时刻,我会日后对我的生活有个更好的怎么看。
就为了今天,我将不再害怕。特别我不会再害怕享受漂亮的事物,并且相信我给予世界的,世界也会给予我。
