There are two
days in the week about which we should not worry. Two days which should be kept free of fear
and apprehension. One of these is
yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its aches and pains. Yesterday is passed
forever, beyond our reach.
All the money in the world cannot
bring back yesterday. We cannot erase a single
act we performed nor a single word we said.
Yesterday is passed forever beyond our control. The other day we should not worry about is
tomorrow with its possible burdons, its large promise, and its poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our immediate
control. Tomorrow's sun will rise 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.
That leaves only
today. Anyone can fightlife's battles
just for one day. It is only when we face
the burdens of those other two days that we falter. It is not today's experience that drives men
mad. It is the remorse and bitterness
for something which happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may
bring. So live just one day at a time if
you wish to be happy.
