1. Just for today, I will try to get through the day without wanting to solve the problem of my life all at once.<\/h2>\n
2. Only on this day will I be as careful as possible to conduct myself with dignity, not to criticize anyone, and certainly not to try to correct or correct anyone… only myself.<\/h2>\n
3. Only on this day will I be happy in the certainty that I am made for happiness… Not only in the world to come, but in this world as well.<\/h2>\n
4. Only on this day will I adapt to circumstances without circumstances adapting to my desires.<\/h2>\n
5. Only on this day will I devote ten minutes of my time to a good reading. Good literature is as necessary for the spiritual life as nutrition is necessary for the physical life.<\/h2>\n
6. Only on this day will I do a good deed and tell no one about it.<\/h2>\n
7. Only on this day will I do something that I do not want to do at all. And if perhaps I feel offended, I will be careful that no one will know it.<\/h2>\n
8. Only on this day will I prepare a particular program. I may not keep it exactly, but I will set it. And I will guard against two mistakes: rashness and indecision.<\/h2>\n
9. Only on this day will I firmly believe that God’s good providence cares for me as if there were no one in the world but me. I will consider this even if circumstances indicate otherwise.<\/h2>\n
10. I will not be afraid this day alone. And especially, I will not be scared to believe in goodness and rejoice in all that is beautiful.<\/h2>\n
It is given to me to do good for twelve hours; if I think I should do it all my life, it would probably take courage.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
