Two days in which we should not worry...
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 all 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 forever.
The
other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with
all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its
large promise and its 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 to be born.
This
leaves only one day, Today.
Any
person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is
when you and 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 a person mad,
it is
the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday
and the
dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us,
therefore,
Live but one day at a time.
