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 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 said.
Yesterday is gone.
The
other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible
adversities, its burdens, its large promise and 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
unborn.
This
leaves only one day - Today. Any man can fight the battles of just
one day; it is only when you or I add the burdens of those two awful
eternities - Yesterday - and Tomorrow - that we break down.
It
is not the experience of Today that drives men mad - it is the
remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday and the
dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let
us, therefore, live but One Day at a Time
