Inspiration for Today

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow ~ Inspiration for Today

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 can not bring back yesterday.  We can not undo a single act we performed.  We can not 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!

OMGosh, Shay. That is really good and just the thing I needed to read! This is something I have been struggling with lately. There are a lot of things I have done in my past that I would do differently, and worry about how I will handle things tomorrow. But this really just gave me some clearity. Thank you so much Shay. Love always, M~
