There are two days in every week about which we should not worry about, two days which should be kept free from any 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, there is nothing we can do about it, no matter how we try!
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 its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promises and poor performances. 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 as yet unborn. Also, it’s not promised to you.
Now this leaves only one day—TODAY—any man or woman can fight the battles of just one day, it’s only 24 hours. It is only 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 men mad—it is remorse or
bitterness for something that happened YESTERDAY and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time! Author Unknown
Thought for the Week. “Mahatma Gandhi once wrote that there were seven sins in “The World” they are, 1) Wealth without work. 2) Pleasure without conscience. 3) Knowledge without character. 4) Commerce without morality. 5) Science without humanity. 6) Worship without sacrifice, and, 7) Politics without principle.
