YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW
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 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 unborn.
This just leaves only
one day . . . Today.
Any person can fight
the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and
I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -
yesterday and tomorrow
that we break down.
It is not the
experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the 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.
David
Cullinan
