A Powerful Message For the New Year

My friend Keith sent me this today and I wanted to share it with everyone.

No matter what kind of a year 2008 was for you, this powerful message entitled “Just for today” will show how to make each day of the new year a good one-  

 

“Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle all my

problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that 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 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 and

fit myself to it.

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 don’t want to do – just

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, keep my voice low, be courteous, criticize not one

bit. I will not try 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 to 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.”

 

 

I encourage you to read this message regularly and apply it to your life. If you do 2009 could be your best year ever!
