Just for Today
Make a commitment to do what you said you were going to do!
Remember the expression, “What a difference a day makes”? Well, I decided to focus on the possibilities of one day to see what might happen with the right attitude.
Just for Today I will not tackle all of my “to do list”, but rather, do what I can and be ok with what I accomplish. Just for Today I will take the time to read, to expand my awareness on an issue, or engage in an activity that is enlightening and stretches my thinking. Just for Today I will accept whatever comes my way. I know the universe doesn’t always provide what I want, but rather, produces what ends up serving my best interest. I will accept the actions, ideas, and behaviors of others by giving them permission to be who they are.
Just for Today I will implement a plan of action and not fall into the trap of meeting someone else’s expectations or demands on my time. The operative word today is FOCUS. It is my intention to stay focused and accomplish the main goal of the day. Just for Today I will engage in generosity by doing a good deed for the joy it will bring me without needing or expecting something in return. I will express gratitude to people regardless of how small their influence is in the bigger picture of life.
Just for Today I will do things I really don’t enjoy doing to strengthen my character. I will exercise and not complain. I will eat in moderation knowing that there are people everywhere who are underfed. I will overlook the inconveniences of life because often life gives us the test first and the lesson comes later. Just for Today I will remain untroubled. I will be steadfast in my commitments, give myself permission to be imperfect, and offer the world my best self. And when the day is over I will look back and be grateful that I did what I set out to do, even if it was Just for Today!
