Just for today I will live for the day without wishing to solve the problems of my life all at once.
Just for today I will take the greatest care of my appearance: I will dress modestly, do not raise my voice, I will be courteous in my behavior, do not criticize anyone, I will not try to improve or to discipline anyone except myself.
Just for today I will be happy in the certainty that I was created to be happy not only in the world, but in this too.
Just for today I will adapt to circumstances, without requiring all circumstances to be adapted to my own wishes.
Just for today I will devote ten minutes of my time to sit in silence listening to God, remembering that just as food is necessary for the life of the body, so the silence and listening are necessary for the life of the soul.
Just for today, I will do one good deed and not tell anyone.
Just for today I will be a program may not follow it perfectly, but I will. And I'll watch from two evils: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I'll know from my heart, despite appearances, that the existence takes care of me like no one else in the world.
Just for today I will have no fears. In particular, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful
and believing in love.
I can well do for 12 hours what I thought consternation were required to do so throughout their lives.
written by Pope John XXIII
