There are two days in every week about
which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept free
from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with
all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond
our control.
All the money in the world cannot
bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry
about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its
burdens,
its large promise and its poor
performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate
control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in
splendour
or behind a mask of clouds, but it
will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in
Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break
down.
It is not the experience of Today that
drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of
something which happened Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore; live but one day at
a time.
