Each of us needs outside emotional support - bits and pieces of philosophy, some wise words we can use as anchors, hooks on which to hang our doubts. Here's a little essay I ran across among daddy's papers, author unknown. Maybe it will help you over some rough roads.
JUST FOR TODAY I will live through the next 12 hours and not tackle my whole life problem at once.
JUST FOR TODAY I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, though and concentration.
JUST FOR TODAY I will be agreeable. I will look my best, speak in a well modulated voice, be courteous and considerate.
JUST FOR TODAYI will not find fault with friends, relatives or colleagues. I will not try to change or improve anyone but myself.
JUST FOR TODAY I will have a program. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two enemies - hurry and indecision.
JUST FOR TODAY I will exercise my character in three ways. I will do a good turn and keep it a secret.
JUST FOR TODAY I will be unafraid. Especially will I be unafraid to enjoy what is beautiful and believe that as I give to the world, the world will give to me.
