There are two days in every week about which
you 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, 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.
The other day we should not worry about
is tomorrow, with its possible adversaries,
it's burdens, its large promise and poor
performance.
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 as yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - today. Any one can
fight the battle of just one day. It is only when
you and I add the burdens of these two awful
eternities - yesterday and tomorrow - that
we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives
us mad - it is the remorse of bitterness for
something which happened yesterday and the
dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
