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.
