Yesterday, Today
and Tomorrow
There are two days in every
week 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 that happened yesterday,
and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, live one day
at a time!
