Yesterday Today & Tomorrow


There are two days in every week we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One 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. Nor can we erase a single word we"ve said - yesterday is
gone.


The other day we shouldn"t worry about is tomorrow, with its
impossible. Tomorrow is beyond our control. Tomorrow"s sun will rise
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds but it will rise. And
until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.


This leaves only one day - today. Any person can fight the battles
of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and
tomorrow that we break down.


It is not the experience of today that drives people mad - it is
the remorse of bitterness for something that happened yesterday, and
the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
