Yesterday,
Today, &
Tomorrow
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've 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 burdens, 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!
