1. Just for today I will be happy. People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
3. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my business and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
4. Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.
5. Just for today I will have a programme. I will write down what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests, hurrying and indecision.
6. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways; I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don’t want to do – just for exercise.
7.Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize no-one, nor find fault with everything and try not to regulate nor improve anyone.
8. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
9. Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax. In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get a little more perspective into my life.
10. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love and to believe that those I love, love me.

Just for today, be inspired by yourself not by some crap written in some junk book. Better still write your own book and do not sell it, read it yourself.
nice read.There is a saying – The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven.I say create your own happiness. Its all the mind!
Why should it be just for today?
we only live today.
And once today becomes yesterday we drop all the above stated resolution? Coz if you say just for today, it means you will never do it the days that will follow. Its one off.
Abantu Baya, what are you talking about in # 5? All what Inonge, Make it here, and the author of the of the article are saying is that we take one day at a time. Yesterday is gone, it is history on which we learn, tomorrow is not yet here, plan for it but do not spend time worrying about it. Today is what we have and we must make the best of it, and we only have today to plan for tomorrow. The question is, probably, What is Today?
…. i will smoke some weed and forget about Yesterday!
Just for today I will try and not be sad with the fact that my husband forgot that today is my birthday. I will instead look at the brighter side of life and make some damn good lemonade out of the lemons that life has handed me…
just for today can we have an intelligent stimulating discussion on this blog!
Just for today can you all just shut up!
What is so special about today? Oh no, I almost forgot that I’m alive. Just for today I’ll try to remember my Brother Easy and why he’s no longer blogging. I will also remember Ba Joze and Kuku. I’ll also think that these guys are blogging but dropped or changed their IDs. CIAO I’m outta here.
Just for today I will forget that my beautiful girlfriend is someone else’s wife…
just for today where are the lifestyle blog veterans? nice to “see” you gluco. where is original p,easy e, easy, socrates,bornrich etc I miss your contributions.
Inonge it’s good to hear that you’re taking one day at a time.
You’ve reminded me of Socrates, Easy E, Original Pundit, Easy, King David, etc. Wherever you are, take a moment and visit LT just for today.
Just for today I pray until it happen!!!
i ve always loved the blogging’s of King David,No size,Original pundit,mutunza,miyoba,sibbs,Justice Denmark,hehehe,Shidada and many more lost heroes and heroine of this blogg,may their souls rest in peace!
Just for today i bless you all!
For many days to come I will blog on this site.
Just for today I wished I had time to pinch FTJ’s amatobo for what he did to me.
I wish we could all sit back and realize that generations to come shall be slaves in our own nation, because our generation has failed to safe guard our resources.
I wish to thank everybody that has continued to blog….!
Just for today i wish “HIV/AIDS” was found in mealie meal as i would have quit eating nshima today as i will never stop using mutototo..vuka vuka…?
number 8..? just for today can you be thankful that you have a husband. be thankful that your husband is able to pay rent,and put food on the table other than worrying about small things in life (birthday).
Just for today I wish my country was free of chinese infesters.
TODAY CAN BE ANY DAY. SO JUST FOR TODAY IAM HAPPY TO BE WHAT IAM BECAUSE THE ALMIGHTY GOD CREATED ME THAT WAY.
Just for today, i will not think of putting an end to everything! I will try and pretend i’m happy, that i love my spouse whom i married for money only, just for today i will pretend that there is something greater than me, that IT can solve my problems, just for today i will try and forget my one and only true love whom i disappointed because i thought i was comfortable in my marriage, just for today i will try and pretend everything is good with me, that all my friends are not dead, that i never sold my soul for money, just for today i will pretend it is alright to be useless.
I thank God for everything.
just for today let’s try to think big!
I WISH I COULD THUMP TWO MORE LOOSE ZAMBIAN LADIES SO AS TO UPGRADE THE NUMBER ON MY LIST TO 60.
ALSO WISH PEACE FOR MY COUNTRY…………….
just for today i regret taking up this job in A POOR COUNTRY LIKE ZAMBIA. i wish i could quit and go back to join my HANIF YULIYAH
“TODAY” is very important because it is all there is! The Past (Yesterday) and the future(Tommorow) are mere projections of our mind. They are illusions!!It is interesting to note that we can neither act in the past nor the future. The only time that we can ever act or do things, is in the present (Today). That is the competitive advantage that the Present holds over the Past and the Future. Even for things that we hope to do in the Future, we have to wait for the future to be “brought into the Now” for us to act!! Truly, “The power of the present is our arsenal for change”.
ABDULAZIZ, today you should know that ZAMBIA does not need you, and will never give a damn if you go back were women hide behind black veils. When you upgrade your list of gigolettes to 60 don’t forget that they have thamped more than you.. and probably carry more deseases too, each and every “Abdulaziz” had to pay them, for the upgrade.
Just for today do us a favour and go back.
Just for today i wish i could put my entire life straight with Christ . loosen the heavy Cross he has continued to carry for me. i no longer want him to continue to be burdened. just for today i wish i could find the answer why men cheat on thier wives and get an everlasting solution.
Just 4 2day i want to tel u abdulaziz stop acting like dat ur a shame 2 ur own c0untry,learn 2 respect coz u ar n0t a perfect pers0n..ur allah is unhappy 4 u
i have a serious problem with the quality of contributions allowed on this site.gone are the days when intellectual and soul searching discussions took place.its no wonder alot of people are just habitual visitors.LT…the ball is forever in your court..you are challenged to act or risk losing the few sensible contributors you have left!!
I agree with you Original P(nice to “see” you after a long time). This is like zambian politics in a sense.When the cadres took over politics in Zambia the intellectuals boarded British airways and left Zambia.We did this because we were outnumbered and our intelligent views had no platform to be voiced.So the “cadres” have followed us to this blog.Are we to continue taking flight or perhaps stand our ground and not let our voices of reason be drowned.
please intellectuals do not be out numbered stand your ground and let your voices of reason be heard the so called cadres do not belong to this blog. and should not be allowed to distract us.
The Original P, Inonge; I am happy to see you guys. I have missed you!!
hello born rich.Lets resume our rendez-vous here. The vacuum you guys have created is so prominent!
#40. Hello!!!
Yes we should. You and the Original Pundit have starved me of your contributions for too long!
Anyway, i understand. With the way things are going on the blog, it is difficult to inspire confidence in one to contrubute positively. One tends to feel out of place.
I loved it when you said in #4 that “we only live today”. You hit the nail right on the head…. continued…
I repeat…
“TODAY” is very important because it is all there is! The Past (Yesterday) and the future(Tommorow) are mere projections of our mind. They are illusions!!It is interesting to note that we can neither act in the past nor the future. The only time that we can ever act or do things, is in the present (Today). That is the competitive advantage that the Present holds over the Past and the Future. Even for things that we hope to do in the Future, we have to wait for the future to be “brought into the Now” for us to act!!
#42 I couldn’t have said it better!
someone once said “Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand”
Someone else said many many years ago” take no thought for tomorrow,for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself”
# 23, that is so pathetic. The fact that someone does some good things in life should not execuse the bad ones. That is why other men snatch your women from you. If you regard her birthday to be trivial and she finds someone who values it plus other good qualities, you are likely to be a goner especially if you are not married to her.
Wow, sorry. That “execuse” is supposeed to be excuse.
Just for today, am gonna end here
47. Just for today, I will be positive minded and write all the wrongs on the sands of life for the winds of forgiveness to blow them all.
Just for today, I will be a blessing to mankind in the fear of the LORD.
