We may not be billionaires. We may not be heroes in movies. We may
not have sky touching buildings. We may not be big businessmen,
sportsmen, and politicians. We may not be handsome or beautiful.
We may have many problems.
But we can surely be happier than them. We can get more peace of
mind and more satisfaction than them. We can make our lives more
and more beautiful. Because happiness, peace of mind and satisfaction
do not depend upon what we have, where we are and who we are. They depend upon our thinking.
Let's fight for our happiness by following a daily programme of cheerful
and constructive thinking. Here is such a programme. It is entitled "Just
for Today". I found this programme so inspiring that I gave away
hundreds of copies. It was written a century ago by the late Sibyl F.
Partridge. If you and I follow it, we will eliminate most of our worries
and increase our joy of life.
Just For Today
1. Just for today I will be happy. Happiness is from within. It is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is. I will not not try to adjust everything to my own
desires. I will take my family, my business, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
3. Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my future.
4. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
5. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate nor improve anyone.
6. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once.
7. Just for today I will have a programme. I will write down what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two problems, hurry and indecision.
8. Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax. In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get a little more perspective into my life.
9. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.
