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 we 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
beyond our immediate control.
TOMORROW’s sun will rise,
either in splendour 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 us only one day –
TODAY. Any man can fight the
battles of just one day. It is only
when you and the burdens of these
two awful eternities – YESTERDAY
and TOMORROW – that we break down.
It is not the experience of TODAY
that drives men mad – it is
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.
