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.
