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 beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, whether 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 leaves only one day: today.
Any man can fight the battles of just
one day. It is when you and I add the
burdens of two awful eternities--
yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down.

It is not necessarily the experience
of today that disturbs one's peace of
mind. It is oftentime the bitterness for
something which happened yesterday
and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore live one day at a time.
