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 splendor 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.
Have a wonderful day today.
