on living just for today

Today's thought is:


Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

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 adversaries, its burdens, its large
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 as yet unborn.

This leaves only one day today. Any person can fight
the battle of just one day. It is only when you and I
add the 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!

Thanks Gooch.
I needed that kind of message today.
I have a lot of life stuff going on but thank God I don't have to use- just for today.

Re: on living just for today

Very uplifting post Gooch! :-) Thanks. Just what I needed today. Seeing it reminds me that I should pull out my book and read today's meditation.

It's so easy to get lost in yesterday and tomorrow. After this fine reminder today of what is most important... I will focus on Today!
