Just once today…

Just Once Today, I’ll……

Hold my tongue instead of arguing

I will live through the next 12 hours and not tackle my whole life’s problems at once.

I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

I will exercise my character in three ways.

I will do a good deed and keep it a secret. If anyone finds out, it won’t count.

I will be unafraid. Especially I will be unafraid to enjoy what is beautiful and believe that life is to be savored.

I will do two things I don’t want to do, just for exercise.

I will not lose belief in myself. I will adhere to what I believe in, and do my best at all times. I may falter at times, but I will pick myself back up and try again until I succeed.

I will savor a memory today.

I will be thankful for my family.
