Today...





Cleaning out my desk today and I came across this, the author is unknown, you may have come across it before but I thought Id share it with all of my friends....

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 forever.

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 the sun will rise,
either in splendour 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 only when you add the burdens of those two awful eternities
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives men mad
it is remorse and bitterness for something which happened
yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore
Live one day at a time.

Happy today everyone

I had put this post on my blog for several years when I first started writing because it is the philosophy that I strive to follow.
