There are two days in every week
that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and
apprehension.
One is yesterday, with 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. Nor can we
erase a single word we've said - yesterday is gone!
The other day we shouldn't worry
about is tomorrow, with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful
promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise either in
splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise, and until it does, we
have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day - it is only when we add the
burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today
that drives people mad - it is the remorse of bitterness for something which
happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live one day at
a time!
