Too Many Days At A Time...

There are two days in each 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 its mistakes and cares, faults and blunders, aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever and is now 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!

The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow, with its possible adversities and burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrows sun will rise, whether in splendor or behind a mask of clouds. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day of importance... Today!

Any man can fight the battles of just one day. It is when you add the burdens of two awful enemies - yesterday and tomorrow, that you break down.

It's not necessarily the experience of today that disturbs one's peace of mind. It is oftentimes the bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, live one day at a time...

Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, that's why we call it the present.
